Trophy Night : The Best of Weddings Parties Anything is a compilation album released by Australian rock band Weddings Parties Anything. It comprises songs from the band's seven studio albums together with two new tracks: "Anthem" and "Traffic Goes By", together with a cover of The Triffids' "Wide Open Road". Trophy Night was also released for a limited time with a bonus disc Benched, a collection of unreleased demos and assorted B-sides.
In early August 1998, Weddings, Parties, Anything announced that they were calling it a day, one month before this long-planned retrospective was to be released. The material for this best-of was compiled by allowing fans to pick heir favorite songs through the band's website. All the band's original songs on the album are written by Mick Thomas. Dave Steel wrote 5 songs on the first albums but none are included here.
The bonus disc, Benched is quintessential Weddings, Parties, Anything being great stories of football (Swans Return & Tough Time) and life with a couple of ripping covers thrown in .
"Anthem" was the only song released as a single from the album. It is a cover of a Tiddas song written by Dan Warner and Sally Dastey, which appears on their 1996 self-titled album, produced by Joe Camilleri.
All songs written by Mick Thomas, except where noted.
