Hard-Ons announce 30th anniversary tour

Iconic Sydney punk veterans The Hard-Ons have announced a slew of headline dates throughout the country for this May/June to commemorate 30 years since the band's first live appearance.

A throwback to the band's early days, the sets on this tour will consist solely of tracks recorded between 1984-1993 - arguably when the act when in their prime, scoring 17 consecutive #1 tracks in local alternative charts. In addition, original guitarist Keish de Silva will temporarily return to the band for the tour, joining fellow founding members Peter 'Blackie' Black and Ray Ahn, along with current drummer Murray Ruse.

To coincide, the band will also release a 2CD reissue of seminal album 'Yummy!', and are preparing to release a 7" split single with Sydney act The Necks. Following the tour, the band say they have three more split 7" singles to come, along with a brand new album.
