Regurgitator Announce 'Drivetime' National Tour & Reissue 'Unit'

Regurgitator have announced a new national tour and revealed plans to reissue their 1997 album Unit.

Kicking off next month, the Drivetime tour will see iconic Aussie indie rockers playing a run of headline shows, as well as making festival appearances at Good Things Festival, Spring Loaded, and the Wave Rock Weekender. The band are also booked to support Midnight Oil in Busselton.

The headline shows will see them play Airlie Beach, Adelaide, Canberra, Margaret River, Perth and Townsville. 

The band also shared the news that the entire tour will be carbon offset, stating that "This Drivetime tour will aim for a low carbon footprint, energy efficiency, be carbon offset, and utilise hybrid tour vehicles where available."  

To celebrate the tour announcement and the records' 25th anniversary, Regurgitator have also revealed that Warner Records will be reissuing their breakthrough 1997 full-length Unit.  

Pre-orders for a gatefold multicoloured vinyl pressing, along with an extended digital deluxe offering will be launching on September 16. The vinyl pre-order will be available bundled with an exclusive T-shirt for Ausmusic Month, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Support Act. 

Regurgitator were recently in the firing line of fellow Good Things Festival act TISM's Ron Hitler-Barassi and Humphrey B. Flaubert. In a Double J interview the purveyors of 'I Might Be A C*nt, but I'm Not A F*cking C*nt'  had this to say about Regurgitator.

"We did tour with Regurgitator extensively and I can say- And this is honest and from the bottom of my heart- we hate them all," said the re-formed TISM frontman. "We don’t want to see them and if they ever appear anywhere near our dressing room again we’ll get Juan Wildebeest, our roadie, to show them what’s what."

"What I don’t like about Regurgitator is their strict support for the free market. Their extreme free-market views. I know Midnight Oil are working to support the system from within, but we’re only back together because of the Fair Work Commission raising the minimum wage and that is just going to piss Quan off so much. He knows about the problems of the small businessperson and he knows you pay that person an extra fifty cents an hour and he’s aware of how much pressure that puts on."

Regurgitator frontman Quan Yeomans quickly fired back in a social media post, casting doubt on the credibility of the band's return and even the legitimacy of their identity.

"What a bunch of pricks these guys turned out to be... $4.7 million for a bunch of murmurations? Might as well have booked a flash loan funded NFT because whoever is behind those masks are surely not the same bunch of loose posse scammers we dropped off at the infirmary all those troubled years ago post caveat emptor… still trying to get the merch money from their manager that they lifted on the final show. If this is the real Ron and the rest of those sovereign parochial bit-players then these numb fungible trolls are gonna crash the entire backed-up system when they are wheeled onto the stage. There is good money on this being Denis Handlin and a bunch of label monkeys discarded in the shit paradise of tiktokism."

The 'feud' adds yet another layer of appeal to an already tantalizing Drivetime tour.
