After 12 years off the tools, Aussie rock icons Grinspoon are back with a new album and a 46-date tour around almost every town in Australia (except Betoota). Lead singer Phil Jamieson stopped by the Desert Rock FM studio to regale us with tales from the band's 30-year history, as well as the ambitious amount of booze on their tour rider. Their new album Whatever, Whatever is out now and their tour kicks off on the 17th of September.
