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.[2]
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.[3] The material for this best-of was compiled by allowing fans to pick heir favorite songs through the band's website.[4] Although it is not known how the songs were chosen for the bonus disc, Benched and it is notable that there are no songs written or sung by former member Dave Steel, who co-wrote the band's first two albums.[4]
"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.
