    To mark the 40th anniversary of their iconic self-titled debut album, Suicidal Tendencies have announced a tour of Australia for November. 

    The current lineup of the Venice, California act will hit Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in mid-November, playing 1983's Suicidal Tendencies in full.  Home to game-changing hit Institutionalized, Suicidal Tendencies is considered a landmark record by both the punk and thrash communities and has had an immense impact on many of the genre's most celebrated acts. 

    Tickets for the tour, which will see founding member Mike Muir flanked by Ben Weinman (Dillinger Escape Plan), Dean Pleasants, Tye Trujillo (son of Robert Trujillo), and Greyson Nekrutman, go on sale Thursday, August 3rd, at 10 am local time. 

    Suicidal Tendencies Tour Poster

    Hailing from the sun-soaked streets of Venice, California, Suicidal Tendencies was the brainchild of Mike Muir, younger brother of original Z-Boy and Dogtown Skateboard founder Jim Muir. 

    Picture this: it’s the early 80’s and Muir takes the essence of skating, surfing, and the Dogtown scene and infuses it with a new style of hardcore that forever changed the punk and metal landscape. Suicidal Tendencies hit the stage with a uniqueness that ignited a wild frenzy among crowds. Flipped-up hats, hand-drawn shirts, and bandanas became their signature and was instantly recognisable and defiant. They caused such a shitstorm that they were even banned from tearing up stages in their own backyard of L.A! But did that stop Suicidal Tendencies? Absolutely not and they went on to take the world by storm. Blending punk, metal, and hardcore into something else: Skate-Punk-Thrash. They shattered musical boundaries and left a trail of awe-inspiring chaos in their wake. With their aggressive sound and unapologetic attitude, they became favourites among the extreme sports community, pumping adrenaline into the veins of every skateboarder, surfer, and thrill-seeker out there. The rest is history.

    Suicidal Tendencies has evolved like a raging beast over the past four decades. With multiple Gold records and Grammy nominations under their belt, they have left an indelible mark on heavy music the world over. Their legacy has even earned them a prestigious spot in the Skateboard Hall of Fame, forever cementing their impact on both music and culture. And let's not forget the incredible talent that has graced their ranks over the years, with the likes of Robert Trujillo, Thundercat, Josh Freese, and Brooks Wackerman contributing their exceptional skills to the Suicidal Tendencies family.
