Jebediah announce national tour, new single Gum Up the Bearings
After more than 12 years between drinks, beloved Perth rockers Jebediah have emerged from their slumber, announcing their triumphant return with a bang thanks to new single Gum Up the Bearings. Their first piece of new music since the release of 2011’s Kosciuszko, Gum Up the Bearings is what fans’ ears have waited years for, with the energetic piece of pop-rock showcasing the group’s classic fun-loving approach to their craft, while providing a look at the musical evolution that has transpired in the years since.
And the band will be honouring the new single in style, announcing a national tour for November hitting Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, also jumping in on the Good Things festival lineup set for early December.
Describing their new single as being rooted in both the past and the present, Gum Up the Bearings has been a long time coming for Jebediah, who first entered the studio to work on new music back in 2018. Working alongside longtime collaborator - and honorary fifth band member - Dave Parkin (Red Jezebel, Spacey Jane) at his Blackbird Studios in the band's native Perth, Gum Up the Bearings is the sound of a band who, even after almost three decades in the game, are still making music as fresh and as vibrant as they ever have.
Most importantly, Gum Up the Bearings is the sound of a band who are still making music in the most genuine and authentic way possible, three decades into their career. Ever since they first formed back in 1995, Jebediah seemed bound for greatness. With 1997’s debut album Slightly Odway generating singles like Leaving Home, Jerks of Attention and Harpoon, their enigmatic and endearing nature was cemented with 1999’s Of Someday Shambles. 2001’s Jebediah and 2004’s Braxton Hicks further proved their longevity and consistency as artists, before a few years of self-imposed hiatus was broken with the release of Kosciuszko in 2011. Fittingly, this iconic Perth band has been announced to be inducted into the WAM Hall of Fame, to be presented at the WA Music Awards (WAM Awards) on Thursday 16th November.
