Rapidly-rising punk rock stars Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers + Genre-diverse outfit The Grogans take on Regional Australia for their ‘FIX IT WITH SALT’ Tour throughout July & August.
Accompanying them will be Melbourne’s 4-piece indie rock band, Kitschen Boy for the 5 shows, at The Pier Bandroom (Frankston), Torquay Hotel (Torquay), Drifter’s Wharf (Gosford), Wavves (Wollongong), The Station (Jindabyne), The Basement (Canberra).
‘FIX IT WITH SALT TOUR’ follows Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers 2023 single ‘Salt’ ft. The Grogans, a punk-power ballad that tugs at broken heartstrings of realising something isn’t what you wished it would be. ‘Salt’. ft. The Grogans is taken from Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers’ debut album I Love You.
Written over the span of three years, ‘Salt’ ft. The Grogans - which arrives with a video directed, filmed and edited by Teen Jesus’ drummer Neve Van Boxsel - is a classic heartbreak song about being blinded by your own feelings, the clarity that comes with time, and the exhaustion of constantly being disappointed. It’s laden with harmonies that show off the vocal chops of Anna Ryan and The Grogans’ Quin Grunden, their voices balancing and bouncing off each other to create a melancholic build up that sweeps you away.
The two bands first met on the GUTS tour across lutruwita/Tasmania in late 2022 and bonded over beards (you read that correctly, full story here). It's the first time Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers have collaborated with another band on a song, and for them The Grogans were the spark that made it what it is.
