THE MEANIES ARE ON THE MOVE IN MARCH

Melbourne maniacs The Meanies are on the move in March with shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Woy Woy and Aireys Inlet. The shows include appearances at regional festivals Lawncore and the Aireys Music Festival.

The NSW shows came about thanks to Lawncore, the all-ages Punk, Metal, Rock ‘n’ Roll festival in the Newcastle inner suburb of Wickham.

Sez Wally Meanie, “The Lawncore folk asked us to play and we said yes cos it not only sounded like a fun thing to do but also it meant I could go to the SCG on the Thursday and see Curnow versus Carlton…..

“It was also a good time of year to do a Sydney show and we’d been meaning to do a Link & Pin show for a while so it all made sense.

“Especially cos it fell right in the middle of two festivals in Victoria that wanted us….

“By the way, Link is halfway through writing our next album and a double album of long-lost recordings is in the pipeline.”

The shows will be The Meanies’ first since they launched the single “Shutdown” back in October. “Shutdown” was the first hint of the ‘double album of long-lost recordings’ that Wally mentioned; it was recorded 25 years ago by Shane O’Mara at Yikesville Studios for an album that was never released.

The single also features Frenzal Rhomb and Leeches! on the B-side, both covering Meanies tunes.

Remaining copies of the single are available from Shutdown | The Meanies | Cheersquad Records & Tapes

Fans are also advised to put aside a few dollars for the band’s new t-shirt, featuring the fab art by Ben Brown-illustrated new poster image, which will be available at the shows.
