Jebediah Announce 20th Anniversary Tour

Jebediah are turning 20 and to celebrate the Aussie band are heading out on a national tour as well as releasing a greatest hits compilation titled Twenty.

Over two decades Kevin Mitchell (aka Bob Evans) and co have released five albums with four of them reaching the top ten in Australia. The 20th Anniversary tour will see them celebrate 20 years since forming as a band, performing a set full of hits as well as their debut Slightly Odway in full.

The tour will be complimented by the release of Twenty which cherry-picks their greatest songs from the five albums. It includes their debut breakthrough Jerks Of Attention as well as “She’s Like A Comet”, the first single from their most recent record Kosciuszko.

It shows that despite a career peppered with hiatus’ and side-projects the band has managed to maintain a loyal fan base through consistently solid albums. The secret to their longevity, says guitarist Chris Daymond, “is nothing more complicated than friendship”.

“It’s just always been such a pleasure being with those dudes. And the chemistry hasn’t changed. It was good fun then and it’s good fun now.”

A number of different bands will be joining Jebediah on tour to celebrate, some of who are reforming just for the occasion. Special guests include Front End Loader, Fur, Red Jezebel, Turnstyle and Screamfeeder.

You can catch a sneak preview of the tour when Jebediah perform as part of Music Feeds LIVE today, Monday 16th March. You can stream the performance on Music Feeds from 5pm.

Twenty will released on May 29th through Sony Music Australia and will also be released as a limited edition, collectors vinyl set, mastered specifically for optimum sound quality.
