Hot on the heels of the release of their first album in 12 years, ‘whatever, whatever’, alt-rockers Grinspoon are back on tour with live gigs across the nation.
Grinspoon’s live performances are legendary for their energy and excitement. The ‘whatever, whenever, wherever’ tour promises even more creativity with new music to thrill the fans. Supported by Melbourne band Press Club, Grinspoon are making a particular point of supporting regional venues, including our own local, the Dag Pub.
General Manager of the Dag Pub, Dana Mitchell said Grinspoon was the biggest name to be performing at the venue, with many fans looking forward to seeing them.
“Lots of people are excited to see Grinspoon, especially as it has been so many years since they toured,” Dana said. “We feel very lucky to be included in their heavy tour schedule.
“We have done heaps of renovations to keep up with what is needed for the bands to put on a great show for audiences here.”

Two songs have been released as singles from the latest album – Unknown Pretenders and Never Say Never. Grinspoon themselves said of Never Say Never on social media: “It’s a little bit surf/a little bit James Bond and a little bit magic mushrooms…turn it up loud.”
Grinspoon formed in Lismore in 1995 with Phil Jamieson on vocals and guitar, Pat Davern on guitar, Joe Hansen on bass guitar and Kristian Hopes on drums.
The band enjoyed success with many songs charting well and their album Thrills, Kills and Sunday Pills winning the 2005 Best Rock Album Award at the ARIA Music Awards. Their song Champions featured in Gran Turismo 3 and Chemical Heart reached number 25 on the Australian Singles Chart.
Fans will rejoice at seeing the band back together, as in 2013 they had announced an ‘indefinite hiatus’ to pursue individual projects.
Grinspoon are supported by punk band Press Club, known for their raw energy and talent.
