BIG-4 FOUNDERS OF NWOBHM - BIO 2026 

"A NOSTALGIC TRIBUTE SHOW PERFORMED WITH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS!

MATERIAL FROM 1976 - 1986 PERFORMED LIVE BY MEMBERS OF MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY, THE KNOCKOUTS, HARDROCK SMAKT, BLUE MUD RIDERS together with Transylvanian vocalist SILVIU LUCACI"

”The Big-4 Tribute Concept” is driven by producer J. ”J.B” Bergman.

You might recognize know him from the thrash metal band MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY who have toured through Europe from time to time.

During the lockdown in 2021 J.B and his friend Ken Stone, The Knockouts, started the first band under the "Big-4" concept and the choice on whom to pay homage to was easy for them both.

Here they pay tribute to the four bands that laid the foundation of what was to be NWOBHM in the late 70's.

We are of course talking about the heaviest, dirtiest, meanest, coolest and best of them of them all...
- IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MOTÖRHEAD och SAXON!!!

The treasure of songs is overwhelming and focus is on material from 1976-1986. The band puts on a powerful show packed with hints and flirts to the way things were back in the 80s.

It's a 1h and 30 min show filled with nostalgia, joy, energy and it's all done with class, love and respect to the original artists.

BIG-4 FOUNDERS OF NWOBHM are:
KEN STONE – Guitar (THE KNOCKOUTS)
J. BERGMAN – Guitar (MAN MACHINE INDUSTRY)
DAVID OTTOSSON – Bass (BLUE MUD RIDERS)
NICO PODOLSKI – Drums (HARDROCK SMAKT) and together with vocalist SILVIU LUCACI from Transsylvania the band delivers kick ass show that makes you go back... somewhere in time.
