Favourite bands past and present

Osees have been playing around 25 years.

Both tours should be fun eh? It’s been 30 odd years since I saw Mudhoney play, they were pretty wild back in the day.

Went to the Brisbane gig to see the Roadtrippers & stayed for Boing Boing.

Epic live show & started listening to the album. Very underrated.

The leadsinger of Boing Boing played drums in The Roadtrippers (his old man is the lead singer - Gav Dear).

I’ve been a massive Roadtrippers fan for years & they were awesome.

I don’t know who put up a song by these guys a year or so ago but it got me. I reckon they’re great. I’m disappointed to hear they released this in Brisbane in December. Wish I had of been there.
Bit of Queensland history too if you care to Google

I posted 'Go The Mongrel' a while ago. A mate supported them a few times though I've never seen them live.

If you get a wriggle on, some of youse can still catch these dudes live.

Chomp a cookie with your cuppa of shroom-infused Horlicks, lay back and enjoy the ride, man.

kexp got a bit of everything…

Blackers. Hi mate. In 2010, family and i were at a bit of a hippy type festival south of Cooktown, The Roadtrippers were one of the bands to furnish the stage. Later on i spoke to the lead singer, nice guy. He told me they often go under another name,the pseudonym, The Toadrippers, as they loved flattening cane toads (Bufo marinus) on their journeys to hundreds of different regional towns where they performed. Good stuff. AW.

They sound like fun Alfred. Glad you got to enjoy them, they can clearly play up a storm.

That would be the Black Mountain Festival is that right?
I’d like to go to it. Looking at his old man sing and lyrics of the Roadtrippers I can see where the Boing Boing singer gets his sense of humour from.

Seeds. How’s things ? Correct, that was it, heaps of people over a few days, no aggro, loads of kids, great food and weather. Highlight was when we left late in the evening, we fortunately stopped the car as a massive python some 6-7m in length and with a 150mm dia.girth slowly crossed the dirt track, it had a head the size of a bulldog, very slow moving, was blown away by its enormity. Ended up staying there for near an hour so as to stop any departing cars from crushing it. My then 9 year old was gobsmacked. AW.

OGees, Oz style.

Another for the (un)interested. Totally agree with the sentiments. Guys and girls look like they’re having a lot of fun.

Jeez, that was pretty good, I'll file under Yob Rock, and that's no insult.
Great vid too.
And check this one.

Does anyone remember if the Meanies played at the Seacliff or the Holdy?

- what was the first song you liked?
Tough one.. It was probably something like Blink 182 'Dammit' I remember getting a copy of Dude Ranch on tape, around the same time I got one of the Vans Warped tour 98 CD, I was hooked on skate punk from that moment on.

- what bands were you into up to the age of 18.
Tool, Deftones, Pennywise, Korn, Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura, Millencolin, Frenzal Rhomb, Grinspoon, Nirvana, Lagwagon stuff like that. Lots of music from bodyboarding and skate videos in the 90's early 2000's.

- did your parents hate it? What did they listen to?
My old man loved Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin etc. so appreciated some of it. He got me tickets to Tool in Wollongong back in 2002 and we have gone and seen them every time they have come out since.

- when you started going out did your musical tastes change?
I got pretty deep into House & Techno when I started going out. I bought turntables and have a bit of a record collection of sort of left field House and electronic music. It's a rabbit hole of record labels and artists that never ends.

- what do you listen to now? Changed tastes? Still a diehard? Do you revisit your teen years?
Still love a lot of the bands I listened to in my teens and with streaming I have been able to listen to some of the bands and albums I didn't pick up when I was a teenager and CD's cost 30 bucks. I have been going down a Dinosaur Jnr rabbit hole at the moment and have been loving it. Listening to music and finding stuff is as much of a passion as being in the ocean for me.

Still listen to it all.

Sick topic Seeds. Once you start typing the shit just flows..Shaka and a hoot mate.

"The ones who want the power that bad
Are missing something in their lives
Being scared of my friends
In a junta, scene or business world
Is the most miserable existence
I could think of on earth"

One track off a soundtrack of Bourne identity...the book trilogy and movie series was based on uplifts life.

Epic!luv the Brains,seen em in early 90's.punk reggae,gotta be good if your'e banned in D.C.

seeds, dazz, stu.. holy shit. thank you for introducing me to these awesome lads!

Obsessed with Sleaford Mods new album at the moment. Not my preferred genre by any means, but they're the most politically aggressive band I've listened to since RATM so naturally I'm a huge fan. The film clip for UK Grim is equally golden.

Agree, loving it. The lyrical rhythm of the accent rolls into some very strong lyrics describing a time and area and people abandoned and forgotten after a terrible deindustrialisation - and the anger is real. The music is sparse, packs emotion and at times even funny and frisky. No wonder it's a hit. Great list of guest artists/collaborations. Not my genre either, thanks to Wilhelm for posting it up.
