Self described as 'ska flavoured punk rock with soul', The Resignators hail from Korweinguboora (just north of Ballarat).
The band will return to Wollongong (NSW) for the first time in over a year to present their new album, 'Party Dates' that features the #1 triple j Unearthed Roots chart hit single, 'Parasol'.
Ahead of the show, the band's trombone player Holy Guacamole (Holly McNamara) shares her favourite fruits.
5. Bananas
Did you know one, large banana provides enough energy for a 90-minute workout?*
*fake news I reckon, but they're a pretty versatile fruit so there's that - they make an excellent stinking hot, Australian summer day brekkie/ snack dipped in chocolate, stuck on a paddle-pop stick and frozen, once you get past the phallic-ness.
4. Mangos
They taste like the tropical holiday you can't afford. Like oranges, but with less stringy bullshit and nothing like oranges. They're only fourth on this list because they're wayyy too mainstream.
3. Potatoes
The fruit of the ground, as the French say. Cough. Alright well they're tubers, but they make chips and vodka. And a better fruit than you ever would. So.
2. Oranges
Mmmmn, they're not exotic like certain other varieties of sunset coloured, seed-bearing culinary plant-eggs, but try spending the night in the tour bus from one gig/ festival/ country to another and see if a tall glass of OJ isn't the best thing someone can plonk in front of your tired, hungover self in the morning. Accompanied by a full-English breakfast.
1. Avos
Because guac (which by the way in my authoritative opinion should contain chunkily mashed avo, sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, tomato and NO SOUR CREAM, red onion if you're fancy, and for that extra tang... give my love to Angusss); and because my generation would probably disown me if I claimed otherwise. Holy Guacamole.
The Resignators play Dicey Riley's (Wollongong) 13 January.
