Murphy's Law @ The Tote

The Tote, Friday, May 15 at 08:00 PM GMT+10

TOURING AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

Murphy’s Law is set to blaze their way through 7 stops across Australia & New Zealand in May 2026 with their cheeky & quick witted never say no to a good time blend of New York Hardcore.

Formed in 1982 against a backdrop of the gritty underbelly of New York City and the emergence of what we now know as NYHC, and fronted by the legendary Jimmy G, Murphy’s Law is a band that carries an energy so infectious they make you wanna stomp, skank, smile & take another swig all at the same time – make sure you don’t miss this string of shows!

Tickets selling now…

Jimmy G is the world’s greatest ever frontman” (Scott Mac, Toe To Toe, Nov 2017)

Negative Approach (USA) & supports TBA

The Tote, Friday, October 23 at 07:00 PM GMT+11

At long last, one of the most vital bands to ever help start the movement are finally bringing their legacy-level, household hardcore anthems to Aus & NZ!

Negative Approach. Yep, that one. Formed back in 81 and thought to be gone soon after, NA left us a short but permanent set of songs that still stand strong above the majority to this day. 

Reformed again only in 06, they pummelled their way right back through with even more fury than round 1. No cash grab reunion, no bullshit, just vital hardcore for the ages here in full force. Be there or remain irrelevant.

As an old timer, I'm not sure that many kids these days are into dark loud stinky sticky late-night venues!?

But my own personal #ToteStory involves being asked to play there for a band called 'The Priates' on international speak like a pirate day (Sep 19) after having about 4 hours to learn their songs when their guitarist got sick ...arrhh!
