  • pat todd tour singleBrisbane's Swashbuckling Hobo Records is marking the looming Pat Todd and The Rankoutsiders Australian - well, Victorian - tour  by releasing a limited edition seven-inch single.

    The instantly collectable "9 Lives, Tall Tales & False Alarms" b/w "Bullshit World/Bullshit Man" will follow recent album releases on Hound Dawg Records and Melbourne's Dog Meat labels.

    The Victorian Tour will follow Pat's rapturously received solo East Coast Australian run of November 2023.

    For the unitiated, Pat Todd fronted the undisputed roots-punk kings of LA, The Lazy Cowgirls after blowing in from Midwest outpost Vincennes, Indiana in the early 1980s.

    The Cowgirls' live album “Radio Cowgirl” was the first release on scene prime mover Sympathy For The Record Industry and ultimately inspired a resurgence of classic 1976 Ramones/Saints/ Heartbreakers-style punk that stretched across the US into Europe, Japan and elsewhere, inspiring bands like The Muffs, New Bomb Turks, Oblivions, Teengenerate, Onyas and others.

  • patt todd ozThe good news: The much anticipated Australian tour by ex-Lazy Cowgirls frontman Pat Todd and his band The Rankoutsiders is on. The bad news: The tour is restricted to one state.

    Pat Todd’s Aussie solo dates with Mad Macka of the Cosmic Psychos were a stand-out of 2023 and he promised to be back. Unfortunately, limited time and economics mean Victoria will host all five dates of the run. 

    So if you’re anywhere else, book an air ticket. If can't, take consolation that you’ll be able to stream a live-to-air on 3PBS-FM before the live shows proper start.
