Photo Gallery: Bleeding Knees Club take us behind their EU tour

All in-article photos by Alex Wall. Header photo by Raw Journey Paris.

Aussie garage-punk icons Bleeding Knees Club are somewhat notorious for their lively and raucous live shows, which sees them really bring out the raw energy of their recorded work - like their latest album Fade The Hammer - and elevate it to a whole other level. It's something they're bringing to Australia across basically the whole of December, touring the country with Sydney garage-psyche upstarts Crocodylus and a bunch of special guests that vary from Teen Angst and Concrete Lawn - more info HERE.

It's set to be a bloody huge tour and to get you in the mood, we've got Bleeding Knees frontman Alex Wall to give us a bit of a behind-the-scenes look into their touring with a photo gallery of their recent European tour - dive into it below, with the full list of tour deets at the end.

1. One-eyed man - I saw this guy with one eye at Brighton Palace Pier in the UK.

2. Ducks - These grown women are dressed as ducks for a hens' night, in Brighton.

3. Phone booth - Gio does ET in Bristol. We had a great breakfast at Door & Rivet down the street.

4. Ice cream - Cool little kids eating ice cream in Brighton.
