The Love Junkies’ Party Survival Guide

Perth band The Love Junkies have had a cracker of a year so far. After setting SXSW alight with their rocking tunes, they’ve now come home with a new song and a new tour to show everyone here what they learnt across the pond. Titled I Had A Party Once, it’s a tune about a “shitty romance and all the repercussions,” says lead singer Mitch McDonald. “Bad decisions made under the influence always make for good song writing.”

Already a few dates into their national tour, The Love Junkies head to Brisbane tonight before wrapping up in Sydney and Melbourne over the weekend. Set to be one hell of a party at each show, we asked the band to give us the low down on their must-have items for their ultimate party survival guide. Check out their answers below, and keep these in mind for your next party (especially the dog).

1. Always bring a puppy – the ultimate wingman. Especially if it can skateboard

2. King size rollie papers – to roll massive durries for all your friends.

3. Swag (both kinds) – for looking cool AND sleeping.

4. Aux chord – because no one ever has one and then you get to control the music and play all your favourite power ballads from the 80s.

5. Manners – so you can ask politely for another export craft beer when yours have run out.

6. 10 bucks worth of goldies – so you can buy 1 can of overpriced export at the closest sickest dive bar after all the beers have run out, and the cops have come to bust up the party.
