Don't say maybe when incredibly nice guy, Brendan B. Brown (better known as Wheatus' frontman) tours Australia with his better half, fellow Wheatus member Gabrielle Sterbenz, this summer.
After wowing Australian audiences not once, but twice in 2024 – firstly as part of Art from Everclear's acoustic tour in March, before returning with Wheatus as part of Pandemonium Festival in April – Brendan is donning his infamous bucket hat and glasses for a 14-date run of acoustic shows next January-February.The tour kicks off in Adelaide before winding its way through Fremantle, Perth, Margaret River, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Forster, Newcastle, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Torquay.
Best known for their 2000 mega hit 'Teenage Dirtbag' (that featured in the Jason Biggs-Mena Suvari film 'Loser'), Wheatus have courted virality again finding a new era of internet fame via the Teenage Dirtbag photos trend on TikTok that has attracted over a million participants, including celebs like Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Mark Ruffalo – the hashtag #teenagedirtbag has been viewed over two billion times.
While 'Dirt Bag' remains Wheatus and Brendan B. Brown's biggest hit, he has also penned such slacker rock classics as 'A Little Respect', 'Lemonade', 'Punk Ass Bitch' and 'Leroy'.
'My surprise act of the day was Wheatus. While so many only know them for their hits 'Teenage Dirtbag' and 'A Little Respect', their sound seemed flawless, rocking the stage and made me wonder, why did they not get bigger?' - scenestr review of Pandemonium Festival, Melbourne, April 2024
