Grong Grong Return … Again

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.

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.


Block  said about 1 year ago:

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.


LaxCharisma  said about 1 year ago:

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.

Let's kidnap him and keep him all to ourselves!


Hellzapoppin  said about 1 year ago:

We can keep him in the bus and feed figs through the grill.

LaxCharisma  said about 1 year ago:

I just remembered that I forgot to ask you if you could get me a Grong Grong shirt nony...fuck my shitty memory.


anonymous  said about 1 year ago:

they didn't have anything for sale.


books  said about 1 year ago:

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.


LaxCharisma  said about 1 year ago:

Oh well....guess ya had to be there the first time. I'm not crying I was just cutting up onions.


Hellzapoppin  said about 1 year ago:

That's some awesome footage interzone. They should have done a cover of ''Solid as a rock'' just for Frankie after that effort.


__v  said about 1 year ago:

great videos


FrankieTeardrop  said about 1 year ago:

I love how there's the occasional balloon from Mins' birthday party floating through that footage.


Hellzapoppin  said about 1 year ago:

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.


FrankieTeardrop  said about 1 year ago:

Was this some kind of romantic entreaty, Hellza?


Hellzapoppin  said about 1 year ago:

It's possible, I generally pick up by bashing them over the head repetitively with something first.


liamsnice  said about 1 year ago:

I think it was ZAC with the digital recorder.


Ben  said about 1 year ago:

naaaa.. soemone else had a little stereo audio recording device... wasnt zac


yokota  said about 1 year ago:

Cheers for posting the link to those videos interzone


Zac  said about 1 year ago:

indeed that wasn't me, i was just another satisfied drunkard at this particular show.


Hellzapoppin  said about 1 year ago:

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.
