Redd Kross & Hard-Ons Add Extra Show To 2026 Australian Tour
Redd Kross & Hard-Ons Add Extra Show To 2026 Australian Tour
Two beloved rock bands, Los Angeles outfit Redd Kross and Australia’s the Hard-Ons, are touring together in early 2026. With performances along the East Coast booked for next March, demand for the tour, announced this week, has been massive. The demand for tickets has been so extraordinary that a Melbourne show has already sold out, with another gig announced today. Tickets to all shows, aside from the sold-out gig at The Tote, are on sale now via the Hard-Ons website. Both bands have new music on the way and a shared history of brilliance, loved by punters across the country. Redd Kross have been touring Australia since 1992, and last visited in 2017 for a double bill with The Melvins. Last year, Redd Kross celebrated their 45th anniversary by releasing their most acclaimed album to date – a self-titled effort – as well as a feature-length documentary, Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story, and a memoir, Now You’re One Of Us: The Incredible Story Of Redd Kross. The Hard-Ons also celebrated a milestone anniversary recently – their 40th – with a film and last year’s I Like You A Lot Getting Older, which followed their run of Top 40 records. The band hit #4 on the ARIA chart with I’m Sorry Sir, That Riff’s Been Taken in 2021, their first record with singer Tim Rogers. A new documentary about the Hard-Ons, Harder & Harder, is currently in cinemas. It’s a sequel to the recently released The Most Australian Band Ever!, which will soon arrive on Blu-Ray.

Congratulations, you’ve discovered therapy
“It became a ritual. There were no ifs, ands or buts.” Six women in their 70s, all married and all mothers and grandmothers, have been meeting twice a month for 44 years. Over 90 minutes, they share with each other — and a paid facilitator — their worries, struggles and triumphs.

Conservative politicians are like Twitter under Jack Dorsey:

Users: An edit function please.
Dorsey: Have a blue tick

Young voters: I'll never pay off my HECS debt or own a home.
Conservatives: This can happen if rich people pay less tax, we cut services you need & hate on your trans friends
Jesus they’re all over the place

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

Seeing media people post praise for Bevan Shields’ run at SMH so I genuinely want to know was it the starting by outing a queer woman, directly telling journalists to lie about a union strike or the genocide denial that made it a ‘great run at a hard job’?

For the folks at home wondering what happened to Melbourne's Public Transport Department staff of the 1990s...
Tell you what, I do love a challenge. Like trying to stitch together Lapland public transport connections. Train leaves for Helsinki at 17:24 but this bus from near the Swedish border - a six hour trip - arrives 10 minutes later.

Is it any wonder that the Muskrat is so anti-regulation and "red tape"
Imagine if your car was made by a company owned by a colossal moron.

“The biggest defect culprits were the axle assembly, suspension, brakes and lighting.”

So nothing important. Here I was thinking it was bits of trim dropping off and screens breaking.

“I know I need a small vacation, but it don't look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south won’t ever stand the strain.
And I need you more than want you,
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
