What is Push Push celebrating with a four-date tour and new EP?
So Push Push has a four-date tour coming up in a couple of weeks to celebrate 35 years of their hit Trippin' coming out.
35 years, man.
35 years and a new EP, which we are going to play in just a few moments, the world radio debut.
Woo!
Mikey Havoc joins us in the studio now.
Hi, everybody. Hello. Good morning, gentlemen. Morning. Morning. Morning. How are you? Well, are you excited? I am. I am. I'm pretty jazzed, actually, about it. How's the preparation going? You mean for the shows?
Yes, for the show, yeah.
Pretty good. Pretty good.
Because I noted you're doing the bender method, which is 19th to 20th to 21st to 22nd. Have you been embarking on any preparation for that aspect of it?
This is what I'm not sure about. Look, hey, I just hope so. I've done a little bit, but very little.
I would have thought your preparation over the last sort of 50-odd years has put you in pretty good stead for doing four days in a row.
Here I am talking to you live. So that's one thing. So that's, I mean, it's worked. Now we've been doing like, you know, we've been rehearsing pretty hard. We had the whole band's been over in the country because two of the, the reason that we're doing those only doing four shows is because two of the band live over in Sydney. Right. With huge families over there and stuff. So they have to support and look after themselves. And so the window of opportunity to sort of have a non, you know, something that doesn't, not too much of an upheaval on their work days or our work days or whatever, and still do some shows.
How is Push Push preparing for four shows in four days and who’s involved?
We've really just got to bang out those four. Yeah, got to get them done. It might be the last time we ever play.
Wow.
But then, but it may not be, but it may be. And it could be, for the people that are coming or the people who are deciding whether they're going to come, it could be the last time you go out to a decent show.
Yeah.
Listen to your moaning about it already. There's a certain age group which I notice who, which I'm championing our age group actually at the moment because I've been out to about seven shows in a row in the last sort of couple of months that have just been so kick-ass, so good. And it's all been people like, I'm not really your age, Jeremy.
A little older.
A little older, oh. Or maybe you're, maybe between, maybe our bracket.
Well, okay. Well, thank you. I'm pleased. I feel like we're in a similar demo.
Yeah, yeah, but you'd be younger. But just, you know, solid munters that have been out there. I went to Suicidal Tendencies. I was at the power station the night before Metallica, which I also went to, and then tour on the weekend. But the Suicidal Tendencies show was like – I'm sure it was exactly the same – Like, just rocking hardcore Auckland Munters that were there, like, the last 20 times ago, you know? And everyone was doing this, and we'd see Viagra Boys the other week, and that was mental. It was crazy.
Yeah, well, I think, let's be clear, I think there's a lot of respect coming from the younger generation who say, look, you older people, You older people... You older caners. You pioneered it, and you've still got it when it comes down to it. You might not be doing it every weekend, but I tell you what, you've still got it up the sleeve when you need to.
Well, that's what I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to... Like, I've been bumping into people sort of on the travels. They go, oh, yeah, well, we're coming up to... We're coming to Tower Island. Seven or eight of us are coming up. It's like... I'll make a joke about it. Make sure you pace yourself up, which is really just to sort of cover myself up. But then, no, but everyone's into it, man. It's like, you know, it's a great... I just feel like it's a... What an opportunity to be able to do it, you know? And that people want to go to it.
Yeah.
That's so cool, man. And I really, so we are making, the show's going to be really good. I think the show's going to be really good.
And new music to play as well. That must be exciting.
And, you know, the golden hits of yesteryear. Yeah.
