THE Whitlams’ classic album Eternal Nightcap has turned 25, and the band is marking the anniversary by hitting the road and playing the album in its entirety, followed by a greatest hits set.
Eternal Nightcap single-handedly brought the piano back onto the youth airwaves in 1997, and captured the hearts of a generation by describing a whole decade of its life – the mad, emotional, love-hungry contagion of one’s late teens and 20s.
The lead song from the album, ‘No Aphrodisiac’ went on to win that year’s Triple J Hottest 100.
In the ABC’s ‘My Favourite Album’ poll of 2006, Eternal Nightcap was the fourth-highest Australian entry at no. 27. The album’s reputation as a cultural touchstone has firmed even further over the years, with Rolling Stone magazine last year placing it no. 24 in their 200 Best Australian Albums of All Time list.
In the last week of their national concert tour, The Whitlams will visit Sale for the very first time.
The band will be appearing at The Wedge on February 16, 2023.
