Nineteen years after their last live appearance, the satirical Melbourne band TISM have announced their comeback, with the masked and anonymous collective set to play a series of shows at the Good Things festival in early December.
TISM – an acronym for This Is Serious Mum – emerged from suburban Melbourne in the early 1980s, releasing their first full-length album Great Trucking Songs of the Renaissance in 1988. This was followed by a rare self-published book, The TISM Guide to Little Aesthetics, which was eventually released with sections heavily blacked out on legal advice.
