The Whitlams’ classic album Eternal Nightcap has turned 25, and the band is marking the anniversary by playing the album in its entirety, followed by a greatest hits set. In the last week of its national concert tour the band will visit Sale for the first time.

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 the late teens and 20s.

In ABC Radio’s My Favourite Album poll of 2006, Eternal Nightcap was the fourth highest Australian entry at no. 27, and the album’s reputation as a cultural touchstone has firmed over the years, with Rolling Stone last year placing it no. 24 in their 200 Best Australian Albums of All Time list.

Riley Catherall will be kicking off the evening, supporting The Whitlams.
