Still Packing A Punch With BEN ELY From REGURGITATOR

Interview by Ali K
Brisbane’s Community radio station 4ZZZ is celebrating 50 years of
being on the airwaves. Known for being the springboard for most of
Brisbane’s best-known musicians and bands, the station has been an
integral part of their journeys. The day will be market day style,
reminiscent of the original market days 4ZZZ held at Roma Street
Parklands. 
Regurgitator have well and truly formed their position as one of
Brisbane’s most well-known artists who, like many before and after,
had their music on radio hosts' playlists at Zed Headquarters.
Joining The Gurg on the line-up for Saturday’s celebrations will be
The Saints, Butterfingers, Tropical Fuck Storm, Big Noter,
Screamfeeder, Party Dozen, Flangipanis, plus many more. 
The Gurg's Ben Ely shares with HEAVY some of that nostalgia, noting
that their reappearance on the stage at The Parklands will be the
first time they’ve played since their initial gig there back in
1994. With a whopping four songs they’d written and an old drum
sampler that played sounds of dogs barking and glass shattering,
Regurgitator took to the stage and gave it all they had, having to
play two songs twice in order to fill the time slot. The Gurg also
announced their JUKEBOXXIN Tour, which kicks off in November. These
guys have locked in for the long haul, taking their tour literally
everywhere through until around August 2026, including New Zealand
and Japan. 
They will be playing all 58 of their singles over an extended show
that’ll be in two sets. Joining them as support will be South
Australia’s Dem Mob. Tickets and event details for Zed 50 can be
found at Oztix or via https://4zzz.org.au. Tickets and event
