After making a splash at the Good Things Festival in 2022, TISM have announced their first headline tour since 2004, a brand new single and video, and confirmation of an upcoming studio album. All three announcements share the name ‘Death to Art,’ setting the stage for what’s bound to be a historic moment in Australian music. The Death to Art tour, set for October and November, will see TISM joined by fellow Aussie legends Eskimo Joe, Machine Gun Fellatio, Ben Lee, and The Mavis’s.
Watch the video of ‘Death To Art’ below – it is off the album of the same name which is due out on 4 October.
TISM have managed to keep their mystique intact since they first emerged in the early ’80s, shrouded in anonymity and fueled by a cult-like following. Their music, a sharp cocktail of nihilistic humor, biting sarcasm, and an uncanny blend of dance, pop, and rock, has left an indelible mark on the Australian music scene.
The tour kicks off on Sunday, October 20, in Brisbane, before heading to Melbourne on Saturday, November 9, and closing out in Sydney on Friday, November 29. Not only does the Death to Art tour mark TISM’s long-awaited return to the headline stage after two decades, but it also features the first performance by Machine Gun Fellatio in 19 years and The Mavis’s reuniting after a six-year hiatus.
