Australia’s favourite beer-fuelled legends Cosmic Psychos are back with their twelfth studio album I Really Like Beer on Friday November 7, and they’re hitting the road the very same day. No mucking around.
Recorded to tape with Paul Maybury at Secret Location Studios between Knighty’s vineyard duties and CFA callouts, the new record is classic Psychos. As raw, loud and gloriously dumb as ever – with the occasional life lesson hidden under a pile of riffs. If you’ve been paying attention since *checks notes*, 1982, you already know what you’re in for.
The first sip comes in the form of “I Like Beer“, a touching love letter from Ross to his true love. This one comes to life with an absolutely bonkers video (we’d expect nothing less).
To mark the album release, the band is heading off on their most ridiculous tour yet. 40 regional dates right across Australia, kicking off in early November and charging into 2026. RSLs, pubs, halls and hard-earned beers with the local townsfolk.
The band will be joined on drums by none other than Dan Peters (Mudhoney, Nirvana) for the first leg and that young whippersnapper BC from Dune Rats on the second stretch. One tour. Two drummers. No downtime. We dare you to find a more extensive tour in Aussie Rock history.
“We made a record about beer, so now we’re going to play it in as many pubs as possible. Simple.” says Knight.
And because idle hands make mischief, Knighty has also decided to launch a brand new weekly podcast, How Ya Goin? (with Dr Knighty). Equal parts mental health check-in and pub-style yarn, the show features honest conversations with some of his mates, who also happen to be some of the biggest names in music. Season 1 guests include Eamon Sandwith (The Chats), Donita Sparks (L7), Tim Rogers (You Am I), Scarlet McKahey (Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers) and many more. It’s warm, funny, loose, and totally unfiltered, just like the bloke hosting it.
