Cosmic Psychos are back, hitting the road in November for a 40-stop regional tour, the same day their 12th studio album, I Really Like Beer, is released.
Recorded to tape with Paul Maybury at Secret Location Studios, the new record is classic Cosmic Psychos. It’s raw, loud, and as gloriously dumb as ever, with the occasional life lesson hidden underneath.
The first sip comes in the form of “I Like Beer”, a touching love letter from bassist Ross Knight to his true love. This one comes to life with an absolutely bonkers video (we’d expect nothing less).
Knight and guitarist John McKeering are marking the album’s release with a 40-stop regional tour across Australia, kicking off on November 7th in Frankston, Victoria. Through to February 2026, they’ll play RSLs, pubs, and halls in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, ACT, and WA, enjoying hard-earned beers with the locals.
“We made a record about beer, so now we’re going to play it in as many pubs as possible. Simple,” Knight said.
The band will be joined on drums by Mudhoney’s Dan Peters for the first leg of the tour, before Dune Rats’ “young whippersnapper” BC Michaels takes over for the second leg.

Knight has also decided to launch a new weekly podcast, How Ya Goin? (With Dr Knighty), which is equal parts mental health check-in and pub-style yarn, featuring honest conversations with mates and big names in music.
Season 1 guests include Eamon Sandwith (The Chats), Donita Sparks (L7), Tim Rogers (You Am I), Scarlet McKahey (Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers) and many more. It’s warm, funny, loose, and totally unfiltered, just like the bloke hosting it.
