The Smith Street Band & Bomb The Music Industry! Announce Massive Tour

These will be the final ever shows for the international guests.

What an enormous 12 months it has been for Melbourne's The Smith Street Band, the release of their Sunshine & Technology LP was met with huge acclaim - not just in Australia but all over the world - and given their relative youth we are mighty excited about their prospects for the future.

One band who doesn't appear to have too many future prospects is Nassau County's Bomb The Music Industry!, the American DIY punk cult-favourites, led by Jeff Rosenstock, will return to Australia with the Smith Street dudes for what they are saying will be their final ever tour. If you don't know them - get to know them.

Also joining in on this bill are fellow Melburnians The Bennies who are one of those seriously hard working punk rock bands who seem to be perpetually on the road or, at the very least, playing one of their home city's venues. Hell, they've notched up over 300 shows in the past three years!

These three bands are coming together for what sounds like it weill be anincrediblyfun show. They play the following dates, grab your tickets from the Smith Strett Band's website from Thursday morning.
