Byron Bay/ Gold Coast melodic rockers Versus Fate will kick-off an east-coast tour later this month with two, local shows alongside Melbourne rockers Midnight Alibi before three more shows in Sydney.
Guitarist Kraig Blatch shares the group's love of early '90s cult classic, 'Point Blank'. “With the imminent release of the remake of cult film 'Point Break' (which we don't intend to watch mind you!) we thought it appropriate to pay tribute to the classic 1991 movie, and our favourite scenes featuring Johnny Utah and Bodhi. Who knows, maybe you'll see Versus Fate donning the masks of the ex-presidents on our next tour.”

1. “Back off Warchild, seriously.” No one messes with Patrick Swayze aka Bodhi.
2. “Caught my first tube today, sir...” After being reamed by his superiors, Johnny Utah sums up his achievements to date, and he's all zen.
3. “That would be a waste of time.” Anthony Kiedis makes a cameo worthy of a Grammy.
4. “Utah! Get me two!” Because Gary Busey.
5. “The little hand says it's time to rock and roll!” More classic Swayze. And we thought it appropriate to include a reference to rock and roll!
Finally, an honourable mention to John C Ginley and his witty assessment of Johnny Utah.
6. “You're a real blue flame special, aren't you son? I guess we must just have ourselves an asshole shortage, huh?”
