We’re very pleased to announce the presale for the 20th anniversary of our most widely loved album, “Moo, You Bloody Choir”.  

In April next year we’ll be embarking on a capitals run and performing the record from top to toe, muzzle to hoof.  

It’s been an age since we’ve been to some states and for that we apologise, life gets in the way as they say. No excuses, we aim to make it up to you by knocking the crap out of the old thing and making you feel it all over again, this time with the scope turned around the other way. See how much you’ve hardened up and fallen apart, along with us, your favourite never never band.

Sydney to be announced very soon.

Presale commences: 9am Monday 1st December

General onsale: 9am Tuesday 2nd December

Composed from notes made on a mobile phone while in the grip of a species of long Covid and a brutal high European Summer, Malagrotta is the new album from songwriter Glenn Richards and band Augie March.

The songs of Malagrotta ~ a nickname given to Rome’s great burning rubbish dump, loosely translating as ‘bad cave’ ~ chart this infernal tour, walking in the sandals of long dead kings, mad alcoholic refugees, successful anarchist bankers, failed revolutionary jesters, chastened muses, hybridised mythic wild men, seasonally sad office-bound river dwellers, and pagan priests of alternate antiquities, among many other characters.

It is another work of strange imagination and unique perspective on the human condition from the much admired Australian band that sails on whatever the weather, or the budget.

Malagrotta is available to order on Compact Disc and Vinyl LP from our shop, and by download from Bandcamp (with bonus track 'Mules').
