Adrian Edmondson’s celebrated folk-punk outfit The Bad Shepherds return to Australia to celebrate the release of their third album, “Mud, Blood & Beer”. with support by Brillig.

After the rapturously received 2013 tour, Adrian (Vyv from the Young Ones/Bottom/Bad News), along with old comrade Troy Donockley (Nightwish) and new recruit Terl Bryant (percussionist for John Paul Jones and Peter Murphy), hits the road nationally for 12 dates in April, bringing them to The Gov, April 22.

Mud, Blood and Beer is another beautifully crafted album of classic punk and alternative songs loving reimagined by The Bad Shepherds in their distinctive folk style. Featuring re-workings of classics such as Madness' Our House, The Jam's Going Underground and a fabulous rendition of No More Heroes by The Stranglers, this is by far the most accomplished and diverse Bad Shepherds album to date.

This is also the first album to feature original Bad Shepherds material. The lyrics to title track, Mud Blood & Beer were penned by Ade as a homage to all the festivals the band have performed at. The closing track, Off To The Beer Tent, is a furious jig written by the band, which showcases (All-Ireland Fiddle Champion) Andy Dinan and Troy Donockley's world-class musical talents.
