The Bennies bring double-header anniversary tour to Perth

Punk rock party starters The Bennies have announced a national tour celebrating the 15th anniversary of their debut album Party! Party! Party! and the 10th anniversary of their third record Wisdom Machine.

The 13-date Wisdom Machine and Party! Party! Party! Canniversary Tour will stop in Perth with shows at Mojos Bar on Thursday, August 6, and Indian Ocean Hotel on Friday, August 7.

Originally released in September 2011, Party! Party! Party! put then–Melbourne outfit The Bennies—self-described as “psychedelic reggae ska doom metal punk rock from Hell”—firmly on the map. Driven by the infectious lead single Let’s Have A Party, the record sparked the first of many national tours.

Five years later, Wisdom Machine upped the ante, delivering breakout tracks Party Machine, Corruption and Detroit Rock Ciggies, cementing the band’s reputation for high-energy, genre-blurring chaos.
