This also includes a brand new track, ‘It’s Rugby’, which was recorded specifically for this release. Front man Jordan Luck can’t wait to get on the road and visit some of his favourite haunts with the band (Brian Jones, Michael “Harry” Harallambi, & Dave Gent): "A 30th Anniversary Tour? I never saw that coming. From happy adversity to sublime celebration, I'm just pleased we're alive. We have always been in touch. Me, David & Brian just celebrated our 50th birthdays together so being 30 years old seems like being a Pup. The songs however seem like they were written today or at least in the last week. That is the way I imagine we will play them too.“ “Touring?” he continues, “Me, as most will know, I am match fit. Dave and Harry are in impressive health. Harry is still a skateboarding genius & David musters his llamas every morning. Brian has been dedicating his time to The School Of Gretsch where he tutors. If we play well (we will) & behave well (we may not) I prognosticate a tour in 2021." The Exponents 30 Year Anniversary Concert Tour will see the band perform in Timaru, Dunedin, Gore, Invercargill, Queenstown, Oamaru, Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington, Lower Hutt, Wanganui, Palmerston North, New Plymouth, Rotorua, Napier, Hastings, Gisborne, Opotiki, Coroglen, Tauranga, Papamoa, Whakatane, Hamilton, North Shore City (Auckland), Mangawhai & Whangarei, commencing in Timaru on Friday 9th March and concluding in Whangarei on Tuesday 10 April.
