Just hours after the announcement that Australia will compete in Eurovision 2015 a petition to have TISM represent the country started and generated hundreds of names.
The petition at change,org started by Andrew Wade claims argues that “since 2004, Australia has been going downhill. In 2015, the downhill slide peaked with the our Prime Minister Tony Abbott inexplicably knighting Prince Philip, Tay Swizzle even having a chance at cracking the Hottest 100, and Australia being picked as an official competitor for the Eurovision Song Contest”.
Wade is setting out to make Eurovision … EuroTISM. “Given Australia’s proud, long and storied history of voting for incredibly stupid shit and somehow taking pride in it, our official position of being able to vote in Eurovision 2015 will simply take our moronic stances to the global stage,” he writes.
To show your support for TISM at Eurovision, head to change.org.
“We, the undersigned, humbly request that landmark Australian rock band TISM reform and take charge of the Eurovision stage. Since you left us in 2004, we’ve had a never ending parade of gormless depressing electro-indie, depressing indie-folk, and depressing Aussie hip-hop. We the undersigned, ask that you get on stage in front of the world and remind them of just how great Australian music is,” the petition states.
TISM’s finest moments
