Dust off your flat caps and dig out your Vans shoes as one of Australia’s most beloved punk rock acts, The Porkers, hit the road for a mammoth 14-date tour across the nation in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of their landmark album, Hot Dog Daiquiri.
Everyone has a story about seeing The Porkers live. It was hard to miss them in the 90s as they were seemingly everywhere and at everything! Legendary festivals including Livid, The Big Day Out, The Falls, Vans Warped and Homebake were not complete unless you saw the band tearing up stages with their high energy ska-infused, punk rock.
Skanking rhythms mixed with punchy punk choruses, some funk and reggae, some Aussie pub rock and a distinctive Novocastrian sense of humour. What’s not to love?
You don’t need a full-blown band history here, just know that The Porkers have been cranking it out since the release of their debut single, Earhquakin’ in 1990! Their albums, Grunt, the aforementioned Hot Dog Daiquiri, Time Will Tell and This Is The Porkers cultivated a sound all their own. Uniquely identifiable yet completely accessible.
