After returning to the stage at the weekend as part of the Good Things Festival, where they performed their 2005 debut album 'United Paper People' in full, Australian alt-rock band Kisschasy are maintaining the rage with a national tour in 2023, their first run of headline shows in eight years.
Some twenty years since they formed in Mornington Peninsula, Kisschasy became darlings of the Australian emo, pop-punk set in the 2000s, regularly appearing at the biggest festivals locally (including Big Day Out, Splendour and Homebake) before they disbanded in 2015 when frontman Darren Cordeux relocated to Los Angeles.The 'Opinions Won't Keep You Warm At Night' and 'Do-Do's And Whoa-Oh's' rockers will headline concerts in Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and Torquay next May.
"We're really excited to breathe new life into these songs that we remain very proud of," Darren 'Daz' Cordeux says.
"It's humbling that our fan base endures almost a decade after we hung up our instruments and it's reminded us that we created something very special together; a body of work that has managed to stand the test of time.
"This tour is for those who still hold our songs dear and have been waiting since we closed that curtain in 2015. We can't wait to see you again."
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 13 December.
