Waiting for HARD-ONS new drummer...

'Pete is leaving us... shitty news indeed... hes been bashing his drums and his head against the wall with us for ten odd years.. and now with two gorgeous and demanding kids its ... sniff sniff ... time to say "see ya".. he ain't going without a bang so as well as the next European tour we have just recorded a five track tour "souvenir".. this is a scorching session and i hope ya guys dig it!! more on that soon. me and ray spent a good 28 seconds before deciding that we will keep the hard ons going.. we have too much more music in the wings to pull the plug yet. it ain't gonna be easy as we demand a lot from a drummer but rest assured that it,ll happen and we,ll be back in no time at all! of course we wish Pete all the best and cant thank him enough for being with us for the last ten years... many people bemoan the fact that keish left.. but me personally .. hell i never look back! A its boring and B why would we when we are kicking it like fuck with this dynamo behind the kit!! some of the best gigs i,ve ever played were with Pete and i loved this line up!!! raise ya glass and say "good on ya mate'

They have yet to announce a replacement drummer. (June 2011)

THE NEW CHRISTS – EUROPEAN TOUR 2011

It has been twenty seven years since Radio Birdman front man Rob Younger first formed The New Christs, twenty two years since the release of their classic debut ‘Distemper’ and a long two years since the band last toured Europe in support of the most recent album ‘Gloria’. With a re-issue of their album ‘Lower Yourself’ on Bang Records, a 7” of brand new songs on Pitshark Records and an independent live album all set for release, the Australian five piece are set to head back to the continent for shows across Spain, France and Germany during June and July.

The New Christs featuring Younger(vocals) alongside Jim Dickson(bass), Stu Wilson(drums), Dave Kettley(guitar) and Brent Williams(guitar) have spent the last couple of years in Australia playing regular shows throughoutthe country as well as writing plenty of new material for an eventual album release. For this tour, Celibate Rifles drummer Paul Larsen will be behind the drum kit with Stu unable to make the tour due to family commitments.

The band will kick off their tour on June 16th in Madrid before making their way through France, Germany and then returning to Spain to finish the tour. With recent festival appearances in Australia under their belt, the band are in fine form and looking forward to delivering fans a cross section of tracks ffrom the albums you all know as well as a preview of some new songs.
