“It’s so hard to have an identity and for some reason Garbage has a very strong identity and now we look at that as an incredibly powerful asset.”
From Release: Returning to Australia for the first time in nearly a decade, GARBAGE aren’t ones to rest on their laurels. Led by vocalist, guitarist and bonafide ’90s icon, Shirley Manson, the Wisconsin rockers—rounded out by Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and drummer/famed producer Butch Vig—will delight Aussie crowds by roaring through classic cuts like “Stupid Girl” and “Only Happy When It Rains” from their iconic, double-platinum 1995 self-titled debut, alongside 2000’s radio smashes “Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!),” “Why Do You Love Me,” and others.
We caught up with Butch to talk about the return of Garbage to Australia for Good Things Festival and headline shows, the anniversary of their debut album, new music, changes, hearing ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ for the first time, and so much more…
