NEW COSMIC PSYCHOS LP OUT JUNE 5
National Co-Headlining Tour With Dune Rats
In what may be the most lethal double-header tour Australia has seen in decades, the COSMIC PSYCHOS and DUNE RATS are combining forces and heading out on tour together this June. Two rowdy bands notorious for their shenanigans. What could go wrong?

It's been nearly two years already since the acclaimed Cosmic Psychos documentary Blokes You Can Trust was released. The film's warm response quickly drew the band to Europe and America, reuniting them with old mates L7 in Los Angeles (their show at the Echo was the first time that three of the L7 band members had set foot in the same room since they split up). The Psychos also toured with long time friends Pearl Jam on the 2014 Big Day Out circuit. And yes, the rumours are true; Eddie Vedder brought his infamous 50 cent piece on tour with him, and put it to use on more than one occasion.
In spite of the whirlwind last few years, the Psychos have recorded a brand spanking new album - the band's first in six years. 'Cum The Raw Prawn' was recorded on Ross Knight's farm in January this year, and is a triumphant addition to the acclaimed Psychos catalogue. Beer-soaked, bulldozer-fuelled pub anthems accost at every turn and it's as grotty and unapologetic as ever.
The first song lifted from the album is 'Better, Not Bitter'. It's classic Psychos and boasts one of the most infuriatingly catchy choruses this side of Thunderstruck.
Dune Rats have not stopped moving for a long time and they ain't complaining! They are busy packing twenty lives into one and follow one solid mantra: no kooks, no gutties. After a huge debut album release in Australia, the fellas have toured relentlessly - USA, ASIA, South Africa, a huge UK/European tour supporting British rockers The Subways and their own European headlining run around the release of their self-titled debut LP. Straight off the jet from Ol' Blighty, there'll be no time for sleep as the fellas embark on a tour with one of their all time favourite Aussie bands - Cosmic Psychos. This is a recipe for madness!!
