If they’re not already your favourite Aussie punk rockers, they should be. The high-energy, sweat-soaked Smith Street Band have announced a tour in March next year to prove it.

“Don’t Fuck With Our Dreams,” announced their EP earlier this year, and the Wil Wagner-fronted Melbourne four-piece look like they’re living the dream every time they step onstage. They stick to a DIY motto – if the fans want them to be somewhere, they will be, says Wagner – and so they’re heeding Sydney’s call yet again for two sets at the Annandale. They’ll be supported by US quartet The Menzingers, returning to Oz for the third time in as many years, and Grim Fandango.

See them at Newcastle’s Small Ballroom on Friday March 28, or playing both an all-ages and 18+ show at the Annandale on Saturday March 29.
