Out of hibernation!

With the arrival of our newest Lurker  – Griffin Cubby born May 2011 – we’ve been quiet for a few months.

Welcome to the world Griffin Cubby!

But we’re coming out of hibernation, with a new album on the way, and a tour in July with Melbourne bands Ducks in the Mud and A Commoners Revolt.  The Eat The Rich tour will take us to the SOS conference in Albury, the Phoenix Bar in Canberra, followed by shows at Jura Books and Dirty Shirlows in Sydney.

We’re also playing at the Winter Magic Festival in Katoomba in a few weeks, and a new album in the pipeline!  The album will be launched on September 17th at the Red Rattler in Marrickville.
