The Living End Premiere New Song ‘Alfie’ At Red Hot Summer Bendigo

The Living End treated punters at Red Hot Summer Bendigo on Saturday to the world premiere of a brand new song ‘Alfie’.

Alfie is about a couple of things. The main context is about the long lockdown during covid which effected the music industry as hard, if not the hardest, of any other industry. ‘Alfie, the joke is not funny anymore, I’m just fucking bored”, Chris Cheney screams in the lyrics.

But ‘Alfie’ also has another target … radio’s diminishing support for Australian artists.

Its great to hear new music from The Living End whose last album was ‘Wunderbar’ in 2018. With eight albums to date, every album for The Living End has been Top 10 in Australia. ‘The Living End’ (1998) and ‘State of Emergency’ (2006) were both number one records in Australia.
