Yep, it’s all over the news – Melbourne’s iconic indie punk band the Meanies are opening for the Foo Fighters next week in Geelong. And of course they’re pretty chuffed about it, especially since it’s been 30 years (nearly to the day) since they first played with a young Dave Grohl when he was in Nirvana. As Wally Meanie sez, “Thirty years since we opened for Dave’s old band, happy anniversary pal!”
In this time of Foo frenzy, let it be noted also that the Meanies are about to undertake their own tour as well, to belatedly celebrate their most recent album Desperate Measures. Check out the details below.
