This afternoon's matinee didn't go quite as well as we hoped. Fingers crossed for tonight's gig at Laurieton United Services Club. See you and your grandparents there!

: McDonald's restaurants across Australia are currently unable to serve customers as the fast-food chain deals with a major IT issue, though some restaurants are reportedly accepting cash payments.
RIP Malcolm Young. Our songs generally take the piss, but we meant this one. Even though Angus is the guitarist everyone talks about, Malcolm Young was the engine room, the riff-writing legend and without him there'd be no AC/DC. Forever Malcolm Young.
Happy 23rd birthday A Man’s Not A Camel! Time to grow up, get a real job, & learn to fasten fascinators on heads.

Frenzal Rhomb's 1999 record 'A Man's Not A Camel' turns 20 today! 🐪
Us: Hey Lindsay McDougall - what should we do to celebrate?
Lindsay:
If you play 'Cunt Act’ by Frenzal Rhomb on December 31st at 11:58:13, 11:58:17, 11:58:21 and pretty much every 4 or 5 seconds up until 11:59:47 the words "Cunt Act" will play right as the clock strikes midnight. Start off your new year right.
Reporters used to expose corruption and corporate greed. Now, like toothless babies, they suckle at the teat of misinformation and poop it into the diaper called the six-o’clock news.
As musicians we love playing gigs. But we know that sometimes, innocently lost in a performance, we might put someone in hospital. So for our upcoming Frenzal shows this headgear will be available free for all concert photographers.
Episode 223 is out! In it we hear the story of
@Frenzalofficial
, one of Matt's all time favourite bands who have had a roller coaster of an existence involving controversy, chart success and multiple hospitalisations... Check it out!
We played tons of Big Day Outs, & had a rad time at them, you can find lots of video proof on the internet. For obvious reasons we usually played first or close to first, which means for many people we were your first festival or even first live band experience. Sorry about that.
The last time we’ll ever play with NoFX*. It’ll probably get emotional.
☠️ An epic line-up joins NOFX on their FINAL TOUR! Frenzal Rhomb, Bodyjar, The Bennies, Clowns + more!
🔗 Final tickets →
*unless Mike agrees to fly us to one of the o/s shows.
Praise him, for he is risen! The shirt that is. Get it now at Artist First. We’re raising money for the good people from Bravehearts again too*, trying to make something good out of something evil. And Glenno’s infernal art skills.
Hey
@FatMike_of_NOFX
you might wanna check our
@fat_wreck
contract, coz I remember pledging ourselves to sick riffs and hot licks, but not specifically Lucifer.
Alex Jones says that everyone who is offered a television show or a record deal is first required to "reject Jesus Christ and pledge yourself to Lucifer."
The new
@offspring
album is out - Let The Bad Times Roll. Stream it today!
Full chat:
@TheGnudz
in fine form too
@doctormcdougall
gets a mention for their BDO antics!
Thanks for an excellent year! It was kinda hard for a lot of people, but thanks for sticking with us. Bloody rad to play so many gigs.
Let's do it again in 2023, with a new album too! (wait until you hear Dal's magical voice and bass-fingers all over it.)

Frenzal Rhomb Launch New Wellness Program
Frenzal Rhomb are happy to announce that they are pivoting into the natural health sphere, with a new approach for the band, combining the ancient traditional therapies of the east with horse drugs.
A Man’s Not A Camel is twenty years old! And we’re celebrating by putting it to work, on vinyl! Hit up
@_ArtistFirst
to grab the record in beer bubbles or methodone-coloured vinyl, CDs, shirts, skateboards and stubby holders.
Good times, great classic hits. I think this was from a Drum Media or On The Street front page spread. Sorry about the flag, it was a different time (98).
I heard they were never confirmed and this is all a beat-up, but we’re happy to confirm we are also 100% not confirmed to do it. The F in AFL is for Frenzal.
There’s only 1 band in Australia that can fill Crowded House’s shoes after they pulled out of the Grand Final pre-game entertainment slot and it’s

Might have some special guests up tonight as a little end of year treat. See you at The Triffid tonight!

Thanks to Scowndrel_ for this lovely edit &
@courtwhip
for the journalisms.
We’re doing one more order of the Pell shirts. Slinging a larger amount of cash per shirt to Bravehearts too, because you’re all such legends. We even made the news! And cheers to Chris for finding the video for us, and the legends sending us screenshots.
Who remembers this sweet set of wheels/major label promotional budget blowout rollIng into your town about twenty years ago??
We took it on tour almost everywhere around Australia. (Sorry WA)
Who’s seen it since? We’ve heard rumours it still makes its way around Rockhampton.
The eternal frenzal battle is trying to write songs as good as the names we come up with first. That's why sometimes they just end up as t-shirt designs.
Pretty stoked to present a novelty oversized cheque to
@BraveheartsInc
this weekend, for all those sweet Pell Awaits shirts you legends bought. Cheers to everyone involved. Except George Pell, if god exists then you’re going to hell.
Look what’s back in stock! And now, 100% of the profits from sales of this shirt will be donated to
@BraveheartsInc
- Australia's leading Child Protection organisation.
Grab one from
@_ArtistFirst
now, or get it at

A couple of mild factual inaccuracies, but on the whole perfectly reasonable. Thanks
@FatMike_of_NOFX
and happy 30th birthday

From Forever Malcolm Young to Cup of Pestilence,
@Frenzalofficial
has not released a single song I don’t love. I’m tagging them cuz I want them to know how much they mean to a guy in Buffalo NY.
A nineties “classic” that we certainly can’t remember ever playing (or even writing).
Thanks to Eamon from
@thechatsband
for learning all of the lyrics and all of the chords & several of the notes.
the Chats’ debut album is out now & this song is 100% not on it, so go & buy it!
