LEGENDARY AUSTRALIAN GRUNGE/STONER ROCK GROUP BUDD LAUNCH THEIR
REISSUED OVIT 12” VINYL EP

On the back of a busy last 12 months, legendary grunge riffateers Budd dive into 2026

with a run of new shows to celebrate their recently reissued Ovit EP, on Cheersquad

Records & Tapes.

Following the release of the single 'Banger' (their first new release in 16 years), Budd

have been thrilled to recently revisit and re-release (on vinyl for the first time) their

essential 1996 four-track EP Ovit for its 30th anniversary. Alongside founding member and

current guitarist/singer Jez Budd, the original recordings feature Jon Morris on drums

and Ngakau Luke-Harris on bass.

As part of a three-date tour of NSW in late March, to officially launch Ovit in the state,

Budd are excited to return to Wollongong’s La La La’s for a special two-set show. The first

will feature a current lineup of the band, with Kez on bass, while the second set will feature

the special guest return of Ngakau on bass – a thrilling prospect for band and fans alike.


Special guests are Sydney’s heavy-duty rippin’ duo Astrodeath, guaranteed to bring their

super heavy, metal edged rippin’ riffs!

The songs on Ovit still sound fresh and visceral, a thunderous wall of guitars – all blistering

distortion, effects pedals for days, and a rhythm section that never lets up. Electrically

charged superfuzz that melts your speaker cones and your brain.

Friday March 27 - La La La’s, Wollongong NSW (2 sets) w/ Astrodeath
