THE MEANIES // It’s Not Me, It’s You
(Sept 25, Poison City Records)
They came, they sang, they conquered … that was last year when Melbourne
pub rock punk greats The Meanies came to town to celebrate 25 years of
thrash and mayhem, and in doing so packed out a sweaty room at the Prince
of Wales Hotel in Brisbane for a night of good times had by all. Hearing cult
classics like 10% Weird and Sorry ‘Bout The Violence just made everyone want
more soooo …… they’re baaaack! This
time with a new album for the first time in
almost forever, or 21 years to be exact. So
dye those greys away and get out for some
more noise abrasion than you can probably
almost handle at this age. Tour dates:
OCT 2 – The Tote, Melbourne; OCT 3 –
Newtown Social Club, Sydney; and OCT
4 - Crowbar, Brisbane.
