Alex Lahey is hitting the road to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her debut EP, B-Grade University.

Not only is she taking the EP on the road, performing it in full, but Lahey has dropped the Reunion Edition, which features the original EP's tracks along with re-recordings of  'You Don’t Think You Like People Like Me' with Tegan & Sara and 'Let’s Go Out' with Slowly Slowly and alternate versions of 'Wes Anderson' and 'Let’s Go Out'.

Discussing the impact the EP had on her career, Lahey said, "I vividly remember writing this collection of songs in my childhood bedroom at my mum’s house next to a small window where I could catch glimpses of the ever-expanding edges of the Melbourne city landscape in the years I lived there.

"I sold my trusty blue Toyota Corolla (aka the Corolls Royce) and gathered every single dollar I could from random day jobs to pay for studio time and will the project into existence.

"I am not exaggerating when I say this EP completely changed my life. These songs found their place in the world in a way I could have never fathomed and have forged a life of their own over the last decade.

"They’ve taken me to corners of the world I could only have dreamed of seeing, let alone playing music in, given me the privilege of meeting so many people who have found their own stories in the songs, and they have enabled me to keep making the next thing. I feel indebted to all of these songs and treat them with extra care and love whenever I play them live."
