Australia’s favourite beer-fuelled legends Cosmic Psychos are back with their twelfth studio album I Really Like Beer on Friday November 7, and they’re hitting the road the very same day. No mucking around.
To mark the album release, the band is heading off on their most ridiculous tour yet. 42 regional dates right across Australia, kicking off in early November and charging into 2025. RSLs, pubs, halls and hard-earned beers with the local townsfolk.
The band will be joined on drums by none other than Dan Peters (Mudhoney, Nirvana) for the first leg and that young whippersnapper BC from Dune Rats on the second stretch. One tour. Two drummers. No downtime. We dare you to find a more extensive tour in Aussie Rock history.

Cosmic Psychos
“Even though the Cosmic Psychos never had the commercial impact or success that Nirvana and Pearl Jam had, they were still a major influence on them, and I think a lot of it had to do with the spirit and the sound of their music.” – Butch Vig, Record Producer.
The Cosmic Psychos are (almost) an Australian punk rock institution who formed in Spring Plains, Victoria in 1982, spearheaded by founding member and bass player Ross Knight.
To date, the band have released 10 studio albums since their self-titled debut (1987) and their influence has been global, with UK band The Prodigy sampling their music on 1997’s ‘The Fat of the Land’ LP and Nirvana producer Butch Vig proclaiming them an influence on both Nirvana and the Seattle grunge scene of the 1990’s.
