The Brisbane-born alternative rock band will be joined in the moment by a veritable legion of musical cohorts featuring DZ Deathrays, Custard, Butterfingers and Glitoris. The pixel’s gonna shine one more time nationwide!

The second studio album from Regurgitator, UNIT went triple platinum and won five ARIA awards thanks to hits such as Polyester Girl and ! (The Song Formerly Known As), boasting a mixture of 1980s style synthesised pop music and alternative rock, with some hip hop influences.

“UNITS – Code for rhymes. Products of time.

“There just is. The parameters come defined by a myriad vista of zeros and ones… on and off… decisions and choices – some more than others. The input activated signals all hail the storm of pixelations that cascade across dream screens flashwashing our minds with saturated sound and colour. The pixel rains supreme like a solar fractal fragmenting the silver streams we skim our daily way through… building blocks to chain the virtuality and crave a mass of neon ear worms infest shifting plates of the seismic psyche. Just go with it. We are all units.

“In a world stood prone before portals comes a veritable electric stream of bits – 25 years of UNIT in one moment of sound and colour. Music is waves.”

Tickets for the tour go on sale Monday, 6 March at 9am from here.  

Warner’s 25th edition of UNIT is available now on digital platforms here and limited edition vinyl here
