Regurgitator Announce Australian Tour Performing ‘Unit’ in Full
Last month, Brisbane alt-rockers Regurgitator announced that they would be hosting a hometown mini-festival in celebration of their seminal 1997 album Unit turning 25. Now, the band have announced that they’re expanding the celebrations to the rest of the country, announcing a tour for May in which they will also perform Unit in full, along with an extended set of hits.

Unit was Regurgitator’s second album, following 1996’s Tu-Plang. Featuring hits like ‘Polyester Girl’, ‘! (The Song Formerly Known As)’, ‘Black Bugs’ and ‘Everyday Formula’, it peaked at number four on the ARIA Albums Chart and won three trophies at the 1998 ARIA Awards – including Album of the Year and Best Group.
