Tumbleweed were a Wollongong-based stoner rock group in Australia popular during the heady grunge years of the 1990s. As an opening band for Nirvana on their 1992 tour of Australia[1], Tumbleweed was able to reach out into the mainstream with their crunchy-psychedelica.

The original lineup included Bassist Jay Curley, Guitarists Lenny Curley and Paul Hausmeister, Drummer Steve O'Brien and Lead Singer Richard "Richie" Lewis. Members came from groups the Proton Energy Pills and The Unheard. Other bands which include members are: Richie and the Creeps, The Pink Fits, Monstrous Blues, and Leadfinger.
