"TISM will be appearing exclusively at Good Things festival in early December," the band said in a statement this morning. If you've been longing for the chance to sing 'I rooted a girl who rooted a guy who rooted a girl who rooted a guy rooted a girl who rooted Shane Crawford', or 'Defecate on my face' at the top of your lungs and not be thrown into a divvy van, your time has come. Legendary Australian agitators TISM are getting back together for the first time in almost 20 years, with three shows locked in as part of the Good Things festival this December.

Nineteen years after their last live appearance, the satirical Melbourne band TISM have announced their comeback, with the masked and anonymous collective ...

She has a marvellous poem about the skull of a cockatoo that she finds on the beach, where she just reflects upon mortality and the nature of corporeality. And I think you will have noticed, being from the Guardian, that it was right after the demise of the last Liberal cabinet that we re-emerged, and that’s because we noticed there was a gap in the market for grotesque clowns. For the Good Things festival, that’s about a song and a half. Ron H-B: Look Andrew, we’re not talking to Bongo and the Monkey on FM radio here, we’re talking to someone from the Guardian. We’re not talking top-notch – we’re not talking Katharine and we’re not talking Lenore here – but we are talking to a man of your acuity, and I think you’ll have picked up that the last 19 years of silence has actually been an art piece. Oh shit, I think it was just the deposit. What’s next, you going to ask us about the costumes, the balaclavas? People have been waiting for 19 years, and I think what Humphrey just said has made the wait worth it. I know nothing about the Good Things festival, except that they’re paying me $4.7m, but I think the audience might enjoy an hour of bird-like murmurations. Humphrey B-F: Oh, you know, Andrew, how long is a piece of string? Guardian Australia conducted this interview (of sorts) with singers Humphrey B Flaubert and Ron Hitler-Barassi via Zoom – with the video link turned off. The band quickly gained a cult following, with a reputation for wild live shows, trademark balaclavas and increasingly elaborate costumes. This was followed by a rare self-published book, The TISM Guide to Little Aesthetics, which was eventually released with sections heavily blacked out on legal advice.

'Nineteen years of silence is our finest work': Beloved satirists TISM ... (The Sydney Morning Herald)

TISM bounces back on stage for the Good Things festival in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

“For the old fans, they’ll appreciate the liturgical dance reinterpretations of the classic numbers,” he said. “If you’re on your third investment property, like we are, then music and costumes, it’s trivial compared to interest rates, mortgages. “We’re introducing a new genre, KDRB,” he said. Catering mostly to fans of rock, metal and punk music, Good Things was first held in 2018. “This 19 years of silence on our behalf, has actually been an art event,” he said. However, it’s the past 19 years, according to singer Ron Hitler-Barassi, that he’s most proud of so far.
