Are you a clone? Mi-Sex returns to the road in 2026, this time to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the band’s second, timeless classic LP Space Race. Featuring the hit singles ‘People’ and ‘It Only Hurts When I’m Laughing’, Space Race posited Mi-Sex light years ahead of its time. Promising a catastrophic, electromagnetic collision of post-punk, the avant-garde, and new wave, get set for a sonic spectacular that’s as passionate as it is powerful.

In 1979, ABC’s Double J embraced the emergence of new wave and Mi-Sex became regular guests on Countdown, which saw the group shoot to #1 with ‘Computer Games’. Rounding-out the decade with its landmark performance at the Sydney Opera House, known as the ‘Concert of the Decade’ – Mi-Sex are revered by their peers as the band of its era.

Early the following year, Mi-Sex Graffiti Crimes scooped the 1979 TV WEEK / COUNTDOWN MUSIC AWARDS with 4 gongs, including: Best New Single (Computer Games), Most Popular Single/Album (Computer Games/Graffiti Crimes), Best New Talent (Mi-Sex), and Best Production (Peter Dawkins/Graffiti Crimes).

Mi-Sex plays all the hits from Graffiti Crimes (1979) – ‘Computer Games’, ‘But You Don’t Care’, ‘Not Such A Bad Boy’, and ‘Stills’ – all your favourites from Space Race (1980) - ‘People’, ‘It Only Hurts When I’m Laughing’ and infamous title track – and many more, including ‘Falling In And Out’, ‘Blue Day’, ‘Down The Line’ and ‘Castaway’, alongside a few newbies just for fun… So let’s party like it’s 1980!
