Peter Bibby is marking the tenth birthday of his beloved debut album Butcher / Hairstylist / Beautician with a celebratory vinyl repressing and Australian headline tour.
Excitingly, the Western Australian underground indie/alternative icon will be performing the record in full alongside original bandmates Nicholas Allbrook (Pond) on drums and Johnny Baird on bass.
Peter Bibby – ‘Stinking Rich’
The reunited band will be hitting the road in March of 2025, visiting fans in Fremantle, Adelaide, Brisbane, Marrickville and Melbourne.
Originally released in 2014, Butcher / Hairstylist / Beautician now returns on 180g solid orange vinyl to mark the occasion (get your hands on it here).
Bibby says of the re-release: “It’s hard to believe that 10 years has passed since we dropped this absolute haymaker of a record. Those heady Melbourne days seem like they were just yesterday. Where has the time gone? A lot has changed over the years, but one thing has stayed the same for sure and that is how absolutely killer these songs are. When I listened back to the record to see if I wanted to change anything for the re-release I felt a bit nervous, like I was going to cringe my way through the tracks. I was pleasantly surprised, choosing to change nothing as it is completely unbroken and in need of no fixing.”
He continues: “Butcher / Hairstylist / Beautician holds a very special place in my heart, the record that put me on the map, full of songs I wrote before anyone really gave a shit. It’s pure and unaffected by the outside world and paints a detailed picture of a very different time in my life.”
As a further treat for Bibby fans, the artist has just revealed a riotous new music video for the album track ‘Stinking Rich’, directed by Amyl and the Sniffers collaborator Triana Hernandez, which you can watch up above.
