Biography
Weddings Parties Anything is an Australian folk rock band formed in 1984 in Melbourne. The group was founded by Mick Thomas, who grew up in Geelong and played in bush bands during his youth before moving to Melbourne. The band's name was inspired by the song "Revolution Rock" by The Clash. Their first release was a self-titled EP on their own Suffering Tram label in 1985. The band's debut album, Scorn of the Women, was released independently and later picked up by Warners due to their growing live following. In 1988, they won their first ARIA Award for Best New Talent. The band's lineup evolved over time, with notable members including Mark Wallace on accordion and Dave Steel on guitar. Their second album, Roaring Days, was released in 1988 and won the ARIA Award for Best Indigenous Release. In 1993, the single "Father's Day" reached number 29 on the ARIA charts and won Song of the Year at the ARIA Awards. The band continued to release albums, including King Tide in October 1993, which charted at number 45. Weddings Parties Anything disbanded in 1998 but reunited for live performances on several occasions, most recently in March 2021.
