Always masked and using provocative pseudonyms, TISM features seven members on stage and has a legendary cult following grown from the mid-1980s, when they started to play live. Martin Boulton reports
Almost two decades since their last performance, satirical Melbourne group TISM are making a surprise return for this year’s Good Things music festival.
Good Things will take place in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in December and feature international acts Bring Me The Horizon, Deftones, Lacuna Coil and Soulfly alongside Australian bands Regurgitator, Cosmic Psychos, Kisschasy and more. Catering mostly to fans of rock, metal and punk music, Good Things was first held in 2018.
“It’s important … particularly in the difficult times everyone has been enduring, to break our art event silence [and] point out that things weren’t actually that good, all those years ago. And we’re here as proof.” “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 exploring new art forms and with Knock Down Re-Build, our new genre … there’ll be no new music.”TISM’s traditionally high-energy show, complete with matching costumes, dancers and a mix of electronic and alternative rock, is also set for a shake-up, according to Hitler-Barassi.
