FRENZAL RHOMB'S Sans Souci turns 23
2026-10-22 19:30 - 23:30 (Australia/Perth)
Frenzal Rhomb’s Sans Souci turns 23 – and we’re celebrating!
Here at Frenzal Rhomb, the number 23 has always been important to us. 23 pairs of human chromosomes, William Burroughs’ 23 enigma, Psalm 23 in the bible, “the Lord is my shepherd”; we’ve always been big with shepherds.
Actually, that’s all nonsense, we just missed the 20th, and the world may not make it until the 25th, so this year we’re celebrating the 23rd anniversary of Sans Souci!
The difficult sixth album, Sans Souci saw us back with Camel producer Eddie Ashworth for sixteen sweet servings of shrewd social commentary slid inside some superb punk pop skins, including the green-tinged morality tale of “Bucket Bong”, the complicated relationship drama of “I Went Out With A Hippy And Now I Love Everyone Except For Her”, even trying our hand at sports metal with “Punisher”.
There was the Kernaghanesque “Looking Good”, the Gastro-rock of “Ballchef”, and that song about Russell Crowe’s band we’ve been advised by our lawyers not to talk about.
And heaps more! And we’re gonna play them all* on the Frenzal Rhomb Sans Souci 23rd Anniversary Tour. A marquee event! And it’s still French for “no worries”.
Get tickets now before Russell Crowe’s lawyers get back in touch!
*look we may not make it through the whole album, and we probably won’t play it in order. So don’t go getting all weird and complain like that one person did on the Camel tour. We’ll give it all a red hot go though.

JAGGED LITTLE PILL TRIBUTE by INFATUATION JUNKIES

Perth’s very own tribute supergroup INFATUATION JUNKIES are head over feet to announce they’re heading to THE PRINCE OF WALES in BUNBURY for very first time on SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER 2026 for their annual ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE of Alanis Morissette’s seminal 1995 album “JAGGED LITTLE PILL”, performing the 90s classic in full including the hit singles “You Oughta Know”, “Ironic”, “Hand In My Pocket” and “You Learn”, and a selection of Alanis Morissette fan faves!
‘Jagged Little Pill,’ the era-defining international debut album she thrust upon the world… on June 13, 1995, wasn’t some act of calculated alt-rock reinvention. Rather, it was a product of growing up. (Kenneth Partridge, Billboard 6 December 2015)
Jagged Little Pill seemingly appeared overnight. What was remarkable about its unimaginable success was its relaxed and humble genesis. Alanis Morissette, a 21-year-old Canadian dance-pop singer, hooked up with Glen Ballard, fresh from producing/writing with Michael Jackson and Paula Abdul, and 13 days later, a multimillion-selling, Grammy-grabbing album was written. (Tim Batcup, Loundersound.com – 2 October 2015)
Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill was pretty much a smash from the start: Though it debuted at no. 117 on the Billboard 200, it bounded into the top 10 within six weeks (largely on the back of its lead single “You Oughta Know,” already a smash at modern rock radio) and ascended to the top spot by the end of September. Jagged Little Pill ultimately stayed on the chart for a staggering 113 weeks, sold over 33 million units worldwide, and turned Morissette into a household name. (Lucy Jones, NME – 1 May 2024)
“Ironic,” the disc’s famously irony-free third single, reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, continuing a hot streak that had begun with the gutsy scorned-woman rager “You Oughta Know” (long rumoured to be about Dave “Uncle Joey” Coulier) and the more subdued, hopeful “Hand in My Pocket.” Two more smashes — “You Learn” and “Head Over Feet” — followed, making Jagged Little Pill one of those albums like Joshua Tree or Born In the U.S.A., where practically every track is a single, and they’re all pretty distinct. (Kenneth Partridge, Billboard 6 December 2015)
Come celebrate Alanis Morissette’s all-time classic 90s album with the INFATUATION JUNKIES at The Prince Of Wales Hotel on Saturday 21 November 2026, when they perform “JAGGED LITTLE PILL” live, and in full.
