For our next guest episode, we’re joined by none other than the formidable Chris Penney: Carlton Dry agnostic, N2O evangelist, Mandela Effect proponent, all-round good bloke, and stage-averse vocalist for Naarm/Melbourne party starters Private Function.

With a new full-length album on the way–the animatedly titled ‘¯\_(ツ)_/¯’–Chris chats about stadium tours with meh bands, why concept albums are mostly bullshit, getting stranded during cyclones, how to level up the band’s antics from state bans and LP’s full of literal piss, the ecstatic joy of writing simple punk songs, and why Australians are fascinated by big (and sometimes terrifying) statues of inanimate objects.
