News: US DIY folk-punks, The Taxpayers, announce debut Australian tour dates along with HOBOFOPO appearance

After an eight year hiatus, The Taxpayers have made a dream comeback in 2024, selling out shows all across the USA and Canada, and seeing their Spotify numbers jump from 500k monthly listeners to 1 million. They will top off this stellar year with their first ever international tour, to Australia.

Their acclaimed 2012 concept album about the rise and fall of a fictional baseball player, “God, Forgive These Bastards” was widely considered one of the best albums of the year. It featured the song “I Love You Like An Alcoholic” which was also turned into a musical stage production.

The Taxpayers will be playing their way across Australia throughout November and December.
