Australia’s favourite sons, Benny Reed and Johnny Lani, will return to Laneway Festival to a hero’s welcome. With their new album Pacific Highway Music out October 13, Skegss are set to reintroduce themselves with their most masterful and fully realised work to date. The Byron Bay-bred band’s third full-length – the follow-up to their acclaimed sophomore album Rehearsal, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart and led to their first-ever Coachella appearance and a sold-out US tour – brings a newly heightened energy to every aspect of their explosive garage rock. Centred on Reed’s frenetic and playful lyricism, Pacific Highway Music ultimately finds Skegss exploring the more complicated elements of the human experience with sincerity and unabashed joie de vivre. That’s French for enjoyment of life, mates.
