'Hed PE tour dates'

'

Hed PE, also known as (hed) Planet Earth, are a rap-rock band from Huntington Beach, California, who coined the term G-punk to describe their own musical style. Their fusion of punk rock and gangsta rap is also influenced by heavy metal, funk, reggae and ska, resulting in a sound that's aggressive but also features catchy hooks. With nine studio albums, a live album and two compilation albums comprising their back catalog, the latest Hed PE tour dates promise the best of a considerable body of music, plus live on-stage swagger that adds to an atmosphere highly anticipated by fans.

'Hed PE's background'

'Hed PE formed around 1994, when they were originally just called Hed, representing higher education. Founding member, vocalist Jared Gomes (aka Jahred), guitarist Wes Geer and other Southern California musicians came together to play local venues, where their energetic performances soon got the attention of rock and rap fans alike. Adding PE (which stands for Planet Earth) to their name for legal reasons, the band self-financed and released their first EP, Church of Realities. Hed PE were signed to the rap label Jive Records in 1997, and soon after released their eponymous debut album. The lineup of Hed PE has changed numerous times since its founding, although Gomes remains as lead singer.'
