Who would have predicted this? A mere 24 hours after going on sale The Vengaboys have sold out their Melbourne show at The Corner on 12th January 2012 and have announced a second show due to popular demand on 18th January 2012.

A throwback to the 90s, The Vengaboys have come up well on “so bad it’s good” scale as scores of Australians buy tickets to relive their trashier and less fashionable youth. No doubt the crowd will go off to classics such as “Boom Boom Boom Boom”, and “We Like To Party”, but we can’t help wonder how well their more contemporary material, such as newish single “Rocket To Uranus”, will go down with a crowd bent on nostalgia.

Just how bad is their new material? Watch the video below and we’ll let you be the judge.
