After being forced to cancel their support slots on The Descendants 2013 tour  due to the hospitalisation of frontman Jason Whalley, it was later revealed that the singer had contracted a tapeworm in his brain; but now back on his feet, the punk rocking Frenzal are back where they belong – on the road towards Australian venues!
Following on from their first round of dates, playing shows through May/June, Frenzal Rhomb have now a whole new leg of gigs, extending to Sydney, Tasmania, and regional parts of Victoria in a series of new dates in August and September (see below for full details).
The band have announced their tour with the same humour that has sustained them as a band for so many years stating:

You thought FR only had one tour left in ’em? Now they have tumour! At least that was the gag we had ready to go before doctors discovered it wasn’t a tumour, just tapeworm larvae in Jay’s head. After Valentines Day Brain surgery Jay doesn’t feel he has retained any mental or physiological deficits, but only time will tell!

Perhaps the slice will be taken from his golf swing. Friend Clem thinks Jay will become racist. The quality of the shows and the very future of the group are hard to predict, so Gordy has begun work on a fallback plan… a Children’s book entitled “Santa Whalley: He seizure while you’re sleeping”, just in case things don’t pan out.

Be sure to get tickets for the shows quickly, as fans have been waiting a long time to hear the foursome’s punk rock tunes live on stages, new dates and originally announced tour dates, below:
