2025 is an election year, and for too long the major political parties have ignored the regions of this vast brown land.
That’s why the FRPP (Frenzal Rhomb Political Party) has today announced, on its 25th-ish anniversary, a pledge to bring the songs of ‘A Man’s Not A Camel’ into regional centres across Australia.
It is a failure of the major political parties and stain on the very history of this great nation, that simply because you live outside of the major city centres, for the last two and a half decades you have been deprived of sweet guitar riffs, 90s slap bass, sick drum beats, and harmonised rhymes about beer. The FRPP’s A Man’s Not A Camelpaign pledges to end that drought, and bring the songs of Frenzal Rhomb’s majestic, iconic, exalted album ‘A Man’s Not A Camel’ BACK to regional Australia.
We will make sure no town* will ever again go without seeing songs like Never Had So Much Fun, We’re Going Out Tonight and You Are Not My Friend as they were truly intended. Live, loud, and played by people 25-ish years older than when they were recorded.
No, Frenzal Rhomb cannot balance the budget. Nor can we solve Australia’s housing crisis. We can’t even produce green carbon to get us to net zero (but then again no one can). But we CAN bring ‘A Man’s Not A Camel’ to the beer-soaked stages of regional Australia. And you CAN trust us, we’re the ones who told you that interesting historical fact about dinosaurs in song. Also it can’t be pork-barrelling; none of us eat meat.
Vote 1: the FRPP and the A Man’s Not A Camelpaign. VITRUVIAN DROMEDARIES FOREVER!
*as long as the town is on the list of gigs.
