Fuckface Unstoppable
Most widely recognised for his time on the hit movie and television series Jackass Bam Margera also has another side to his entertaining talents, that being music. For Bam music has been a big part of his life for many years which he has now fully embraced by teaming up with his brother Jess and close friends Chad Ginsburg and Mathew Janaitis to form their own band.
Over the years Bam has often been involved with music in one way or another whether that be selecting the music for his television show Viva La Bam, hosting a radio show on satellite radio, running an independent music label or joining his brother’s band CKY on stage for guest appearances. As Bam said “with Jess being in CKY I would go out on tour with them so it just made sense for me to dive into it a bit more” so this was essentially the next logical step in his musical growth.
This tour will mark their second time down under as part of this new outfit following sold out shows during the first trip in 2013. For both Bam and Jess though this is a debut tour of sorts for two very different reasons, having missed the first tour with Fuckface Unstoppable in 2013 but appearing on tour here “a couple of years ago with CKY and it was a blast so absolutely I’m excited, Australia is always awesome.” said Jess Margera. Bam described his thoughts on the upcoming tour by saying “I’m especially excited to get down there again because I’ve got my life together since then. I had a rough couple of years and really was just trying out the whole touring thing to see if I liked it. Now I’ve finally got a band that I’m really stoked on, with a bunch of pro’s from some of my favourite bands such as Waldie from Viking Skull and Andy McCoy from Hanoi Rocks, who is a bit of a legend so it’s a pretty kick ass lineup these days.”
Obviously with a character like Bam Margera involved audiences can expect to see a slew of craziness on stage to go a long with the rock and roll show, “we try to mix it up to keep people entertained and make them have a good time” said Bam to which Jess added “come out and party with us because its going to be an awesome time.”
