When the lovely folk from the City of Yarra’s Leaps & Bounds Festival asked THE MEANIES if they’d like to take part in the festivities they of course said “Fuck yeah!”
When the lovely folk asked “Where would you like to do the gig?”, THE MEANIES said, “The Tote, of course!”
So here we are, almost 24 years to the day of THE MEANIES first ever show which just happened to be at The Tote, and we’re right back where we started…..
Thank fuck we’ve toured the world and elsewhere in between times or we’d be feelin’ pretty shit about that right now…..
THE MEANIES and The Tote, together like love & marriage, a horse and carriage and whatever other stupid cliche you can think of.
This generation’s Tote lovin’ Meanies would have to be BATPISS so they’re playing too, along with Geelong punks THE KREMLINGS and Jan Juc fuck ups THE DIPSTICKS.
Gonna be a pisser of a night, it would be churlish to miss it.
Oh, and you may even hear some brand new songs….!
