“There’s nothing about being in a band and getting old, you’re not working in a factory. You’ve got the best job in the world and you get to go and hang out with a bunch of your friends and perform for them. It’s pretty fantastic.”
From Release: Performing shows across the country in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Thirroul and Brisbane, The Tea Party will be playing a set that not only features their greatest hits and rarities – but will be exploring their fourth studio album ‘Triptych’ on a more in-depth basis. Some of these songs have never been heard live before, and some haven’t been heard for years.
Initially released through EMI in Australia in June 1999, this year marks the 25th anniversary of ‘Triptych’. Featuring the smash hit ‘Heaven Coming Down’, which was the band’s first #1 in Australia, and fan favourite, the Daniel Lanois’ cover ‘The Messenger’, ‘Triptych’ also achieved double Platinum sales and debuted Top 20 in the ARIA charts.
We chatted to Jeff Martin and Jeff Burrows about these upcoming Australian shows, TRIPtych turning 25, new music, and so, so much more…
