Yeah, so the Meanies are getting busy, with a free St Kilda Bowls Club show Sat June 6 to help young King Charles celebrate his birthday, a weekend in WA – their first shows over there since 2023 – in early July, which overlaps with a run of shows through the month with old mates Spiderbait (on Spiderbait’s Ivy & the Big Apples Anniversary Tour), and then a weekend in South East Queensland with locals Dad Fight, with whom they are sharing a split 7″, which will be out in time for those shows. And in October they headline Lismore punk festival FESTY-VILLE #5. You can check out all the dates so far available below; keep in mind there are more to come
While the split 7″ with Dad Fight (which is being released in 100 each of black, transparent orange and transparent blue vinyl) won’t be available to closer to the shows (it will be available through both bands online and at the shows)
A bit more on the Meanies and Dad Fight side of things:
“The old bull and the young calf, together at last! This time you don’t have to choose, you can have your cake and eat it too.
“VIC heavyweights THE MEANIES have joined forces with QLD chainsmokers DAD FIGHT to bring you something truly dangerous; a split 7” vinyl featuring one track each and a joint interstate tour to match.
“With guests City Council in Caloundra, Council Grounds and Riot Revolver in Brisbane and The Fem Grems and Da Manager at the Sunday All Ages show in Southport, these line-ups are oozing with talent and charisma from start to finish.
“Hardcopies of the vinyl will be on sale at the merch desk if there’s any left!”
