Signed as teenagers, Shihad are touring three decades worth of work – including five number one studio albums – while still only in their forties.
Friday night at The Rosemount Hotel was a sold out celebration of 30 years of iconic New Zealand rock band Shihad. Despite not seeing the band live for close to 15 years by this point, their reputation as a live act is enough that I knew what to expect.
Thirty years of service is a monumental milestone for a band and helping send off one of South Australia's most beloved live music venues was a bittersweet way to celebrate Shihad's achievement.
