Dirkschneider Plays Upstate Concert Hall Friday
Former Accept frontman Udo Dirkschneider will perform Accept classics this Friday night, Jan. 6 at Upstate Concert Hall. Showtime 8pm.
Udo Dirkschneider formed Accept out of Germany with guitarist Wolf Hoffmann and bassist Peter Baltes. The band was important to the development of speed and thrash metal in the early to mid 1980’s. Accept achieved commercial success in 1983 with the album Balls to The Wall and the title cut became a well known hit. The album remains Accept’s only gold album in the U.S. with other classic albums including Restless and Wild and Metal Heart. Dirkschneider currently fronts the band U.D.O. and they put out their latest album called Decadent in 2015.
