AC/DC tribute kings ACCA/DACCA makes its way north this week, with a show at Brothers Leagues Club on Friday night.

The rapport and reputation ACCA/DACCA has built over the past eight years is second to none, and the band continues to convince the masses in Australia and the rest of the world that this show is the next best thing to the real deal.

ACCA/DACCA formed in 2000 by Larry Attard (Bon/Brian).

Larry grew up with AC/DC and had a great deal of admiration for the classic Aussie band.

His voice is uncannily similar to Bon’s and he belts out the late frontman’s material with ease.

If you ask Larry he will tell you that forming such a band was the last thing on his mind, however, with persuasion from fellow musicians and promoters, the decision was made with great results.

Fellow band member Mat Rath (Angus) was almost born for his part with the same distinctive knobbly knees and repeat offender looks – in full uniform Mat rules the stage like the wayward schoolboy himself.

The back line is phenomenal with Mick Bristow (Malcolm) stabilising the foundations with a hard-hitting, heavy guitar sound.

Meanwhile, bass is provided by Stavros Tsolakides (Cliff), while drumming is pounded out by Damon Syme (Phil Rudd).

The show goes for more than two hours, in which the punters are taken on a one-way ride through such classics as Dirty Deeds, T.N.T, Highway to Hell, The Jack, Rosie, Let There Be Rock, plus a mountain of other AC/DC hits.

Brian Johnson fans won’t be disappointed as the ACCA/DACCA set also contains hits such as Thunderstruck,Shook Me All Night Long and a selection of other Brian Johnson classics, with Larry also pulling these off with ease.

>> ACCA/DACCA performs at Brothers Leagues Club this Friday, from 8pm. Tickets $27, available by calling 4053 1053, or at www.brotherscairns.com.au
