Even though last year’s "unlikely" reunion tour didn’t exactly go off without a hitch – there was that cancelled Missing Link in-store, a missed show in Warrnambool and a double booking in Melbourne – Grong Grong are back for more.
The Adelaide punk icons will embark on a whistle-stop, three-date tour next month. Kicking off at Adelaide’s Enigma Bar on April 23 with Fear & Loathing and Fiendish Cavendish, the tour will include two shows in Melbourne: at The East Brunswick Club on May 21 with Intoxica and at The Old Bar on May 22 with The Stabs.
The tour is in support of the band’s new-ish anthology, To Hell 'n' Back, which came out late last year through Memorandum Recordings.
Pictures of last year’s show at The Tote here.

i don't know if i am ready to go again
but i would
I missed em' last time. So bring it!!!! BRING IT!!!!
Outstanding line-ups. I'm looking forward to seeing Intoxica. It's been a while.
think i need to make sure i can make either/both, as either/both may not happen at any last moment
JUST BOUGHT FLIGHTS!
They better not cancel on me.
Is this with your lucky $100 voucer, anon?
nah, that's a trip two weeks beforehand, this is luck of another sort, the testing side (tiger)
Better than the pharmaceutical testing side :)
Man I'm so jealous...wish I could go.
doooo it.
I am so looking forward to this.
Got no money. Poor cunt.
Tell me about this Intoxia bunch.
You know I'm DJing after the Old Bar set, don't you, Lax?
Sell a kidney, or a testicle. it'll be worth it.
So.
Grong Grong do a few covers:
Sex Bomb- Flipper
Lookin' At You- MC5
Loose- the Stooges
Radioactive Kid & Hills Have Eyes- the Meteors
Human Fly- the Cramps
I have all these, and plan to play them first off when the band finish. Any suggestions for the order in which I should whack 'em out?
I'm thinking- Human Fly, Hills Have Eyes, Lookin' At You, Radioactive Kid, Sex Bomb, Loose.
I wish Block. I really really do....that I could come. Worse time ever to even consider it. as broke as a broke dick dog.
I'm still waiting to hear about Intoxica... anyone?
i was watching some of that thebarton town hall footage yesterday
amazing

Let's kidnap him and keep him all to ourselves!
We can keep him in the bus and feed figs through the grill.
here is some video from Saturday night of Grong Grong playing 'Club Grotesque', 'Who's Got It' + 'Grong Grong'
plus the rest of the set (7 more songs) here
I can't wait to check that out tomorrow when the connection is back to normal speed...
awesome vid
whole lotta love!
I just remembered that I forgot to ask you if you could get me a Grong Grong shirt nony...fuck my shitty memory.
they didn't have anything for sale.
does anyone know the guy wearing a backpack who had a digital sound recorder?
Wouldn't mind hearing what he took home if it turned out alright. The Stabs played a couple of newies I think.
Oh well....guess ya had to be there the first time. I'm not crying I was just cutting up onions.
That's some awesome footage interzone. They should have done a cover of ''Solid as a rock'' just for Frankie after that effort.
great videos
I love how there's the occasional balloon from Mins' birthday party floating through that footage.
I recall repetitively bashing someone in the head with one of those throughout the evening.
If I could only recall who that person was so as to expect the face punch next time I encounter them.
Was this some kind of romantic entreaty, Hellza?
It's possible, I generally pick up by bashing them over the head repetitively with something first.
I think it was ZAC with the digital recorder.
naaaa.. soemone else had a little stereo audio recording device... wasnt zac
Cheers for posting the link to those videos interzone
indeed that wasn't me, i was just another satisfied drunkard at this particular show.
Books - I know the lad, his name be Cooper. Just received the recording of Grong Grong off him, it's available here. Really looking forward to listening to it this arvo.
