THE MEANIES single launch
with extra special guests SMOKED SALMON + CURLERS
The Evelyn Hotel (Fitzroy, VIC)
Saturday, 30 November 2024 7:00 pm
The Meanies are back with their first new music since 2020.
The double A side single ‘Zamboni/I Agree’ is another masterpiece from the brain of Link Meanie. Released Monday October 7, ‘Zamboni/I Agree’ is available as a limited edition vinyl 7” and digitally, just in time before The Meanies head off to tour Japan and will be launched in style upon their return at the Evelyn Hotel, Fitzroy on the last Saturday of spring.
‘Zamboni’ (a vehicle that cleans and smooths the surface of a sheet of ice, for those playing at home – it also rhymes with baloney) is about “the darkest side of pragmatism in politics. Imagine an outrageous, hypothetical situation as a politician where you support and defend a pathologically lying, hate mongering, rapist conman and then justifying it to your children knowing full well that you lack any real conviction.” - Link Meanie
Flip over to ‘I Agree’, do you have that friend that is an expert when it comes to politics and world issues? Rants at their friends about the atrocities out there, knowing full well that their friends agree and they may as well just be shouting at the wind?
Link says “This is about those people who want to throw the baby out with the bathwater; politically speaking that is. No babies were harmed in the making of this statement.”
Catch The Meanies at The Ev on Sat 30 Nov with extra special guests Smoked Salmon, the latest in an amazing history of bands by the mighty Kim Salmon, with newcomers Curlers opening proceedings. See ya there folks! “
