Custard to Reform for Queen's Birthday

Over a decade after their split in 1999, Brisbane alt kings Custard are set to reform for one show only over the Queen’s Birthday weekend.

The foursome will play at Sydney’s Vic On The Park Hotel on Saturday 8th June in their only confirmed appearance for 2013, as The Music reports.

The one-off gig will see the return of bandmates David McCormack, Paul Medew, James Straker, and drummer Glenn Thompson (who joined the recently reformed Go-Betweens) and hopefully bring out vintage tracks, such as ‘Music Is Crap’ and ‘Girls Like That’.

Custard’s stronghold over the Aussie alternative rock scene since their 1990 formation through to their amicable split nine years later spawned a series of popular hits off iconic albums We Have The Technology in 1997 and Loverama in 1999.

The band’s popularity was cemented when the Brisbane outfit were voted in at #7 on Triple J’s Hottest 100 of 1995 for their lead single ‘Apartment’. More success followed in 1998 when ‘Girls Like That (Don’t Go For Guys Like Us)’ came in at #3 on the music poll, being beaten out by fellow Aussie Ben Lee and American pranksters The Offspring.
