A thread for Australian garage-pop-punk-soul geniuses ROYAL HEADACHE, the best rock band of this decade, occasioned by their forthcoming 2015 album HIGH

Enjoy the song Shogun sings, might need to spend more time getting used to the other guy!

I saw talk on social media somewhere that there's a live album in the works on What's Your Rupture, which includes some songs they never got to record before they split up. I'd be pretty into that and it would explain the Facebook update.

*bump*

I can't seem to find a year for this, but I saw them at the Bottle in the 20-teens and wonder if it's the same show.

From their bandcamp it looks like the first side of the LP is from Terry T.'s WFMU show in 2010 and the second side is from the Empty Bottle in 2015. Kind of cool to get them on the tours for both albums in one live record.

Oh cool, that is the same show!

I'm disappointed there aren't more as-yet-unreleased songs on the live album. Glad they got "So Low" on there, that song is great. But they've got at least two others floating around in live videos online, "Blue TV" and "Twin Souls", that I would've loved to see get officially released.

I also remember them doing a new song at a show in Baltimore called something like "Strange Old Man" that sounded great, but I have no idea if there's even a live recording of that one.
