Description
Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission are hitting the road in celebration of a new seven-track EP ‘Back In The Day’ featuring new and old originals and unexpected covers…
Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission, the latest vehicle for the main man of Melbourne’s legendary Weddings Parties Anything (and also featuring fellow Weddo Squeezebox Wally, and the Waifs’ Ben Franz) hit the road for The National Christmas tour which will see the band traversing the Country culminating back home with 3 dates in Thornbury, before finishing up at Archies Creek on January 1, 2023. (What a great way that would be to kick off a New Year!!)
New versions of “Houses” and “A Tired Old Hat” shine fresh light on a couple of an undeservedly lost Thomas classics from the past decade. The covers, which include the The Saints’ late ’80s classic “Shipwreck” (something of a tribute to the late Chris Bailey), Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s Ragged Glory highlight “Days That Used To Be”, and the unsung first album Cold Chisel gem “Home & Broken Hearted”, featuring a spunky lead vocal from the Roving Commission’s newest member, Brooke Taylor, reveal something of the diverse influences on Thomas’ songwriting and the band’s approach.
