Peter Bibby Announces Australian Tour, Celebrating 10 Year Reissue Of His Debut Album

November 16, 2024

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.

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.
