WA’s Last Quokka To Release Take The Fight To The Bastards

by Paul Cashmere on February 11, 2025

in News

Western Australia’s Last Quokka are heading out around Australia for shows with DZ Deathrays ahead of a new album in March.

‘Take The Fight To The Bastards’ will be released on 14 March. You’ll have a preview this Friday when ‘Save Our Pubs’ is released.

The song is about “The big corporates who are buying our pubs and turning them into gentrified yuppie wastelands, devoid of taste, character and good pub feeds, and Last Quokka are bloody sick of it. An impassioned Trent Rojahn takes aim at the new soulless bars with their plastic pints, lack of sticky carpets and overpriced soggy chips. His rants are backed up by a tightly wound and intense band who explode in the anthemic chorus to “save our institutions!” A message that surely even someone as thick as Peter Dutton could understand”.

The 2025 tour with DZ Deathrays will also have Last Quokka on stages with The Peep Temple, Gusset Rats and Masocist.
