yeh, it is @seeds. Speaking of worms, and to @blackers' post, I kinda feel sorry for overseas banshee punk.. don't amyl and the sniffers have that genre kinda dominated, even as they veer oddly into bedroom new metal riffs.. dunno..? what do people think of them? Seem authentically suburb mullet to me, but a local guy called Rus who coaches my kid's basketball and who I trust in music taste (I met him at the New Century in Adelaide in 1990, he had a mohawk and a kind disposition) finds Amy's voice immensely annoying..?

My random bi monthly check on this thread brings me joy!
Fk me, man!
Gazoonga Attack!
Loved seeing these ladies!
Moved to Bris in 2000.
Dunno how many times i've caught them live [the best way]
Best memory, aside from kick arse live shows for me...
They were playing Ric's, i was out the back playing pinnies before they kicked off.
Pinball was my thing as a kid.
They were all walking past and stopped to watch me as i murdered the Star Wars machine.
I was wearing a home made Eastern Dark tee.
Dunno what impressed them most...the shirt or my pin ball skills.
The incestuous nature of Bris bands at the time, meant that there were/are so many great associated bands from everyone, all pretty bloody good, in my opinion!

Cheers Blackers...tbb will wrap up his set...(Might revisit if tbb can get deeper back in time...)
Ok...tbb is Surfing like a Hot Dog...let's flip this back to the raw Wild Ride.
Only fair to let the crew surf their own wild Party Wave to Shore
tbb saved a collection of early Proto surf Kooks to blow yer tiny minds...
Many of these Twisted Sounds scream Surf Guitar but also Psych Punk or even new wave.
This Hot Wax mix will wipe out the crew on a Sound Party Wave of the Day.
This First track is a bit of a mystery...Well mostly for the date it was recorded.
1958 El Tecolote by Calvin Cool & The Surf Knobs (Song is Light Years ahead of it's time)
Verify the Date on this Flip Single...tbb swears he read 1957 > 1958 recorded as a flip
Reckon it was just too way out to consider a full A/B investment...be lucky they scooped this!
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/the-kingsmen-calvin-cool/weekend-el-tecolote/
Has impossible uber cool cred & ticks off Psych / Surf / Swamp / Punk...
WOTD Get onto this sweet ride...once ya hear this ya can relate to none in the day getting on board.
Wonder if even just one knew that us 2025 Ai Robots would fucking flip over it!
You'll swear yer surfing a time machine that hyperloops from 1958 to 1967 Freaks on Acid Beach

Plenty of fab trax from the crew...
tbb just took a wrong turn and the crew just earned some ultra rare 70's Skateboard Chords.
Do not ask how this happened...got no idea & never ever heard any of these gems...
These Clips weren't even supposed to load...not officially a thing...worth a laugh though!
Pretty sure tbb broke YouTube again...gonna get busted big time!
So don't go picking on tbb for mucking this up...just get yer groove on & roll with the gang!
Like be honest...has any of the crew ever heard these skater trax...
It's like some ai parallel universe...are we getting a Trump fisty pump '70's do-over or something.
Trump : "Skateboarding...I started that craze and the YoYo...that was me too...right! Ok then!"
Sounds pretty fucked up either way...doin' me head in...
Coz these '70's Trax would've been banned under our Skater curfew in Qld Police State.

@johnny Angeloz
Sorry the Russell two, there was no Film clip.... but the whole session was done in one day, the Band Fat Bubbles, only heard the song at 10.00 am on Sunday morning, and co wrote the B side on the go with the songwriters of Skate Board Queen. The whole recording session finished at 3.00 AM on Monday morning, and by Tuesday/Wednesday, the record was going out to the Radio Station... Interesting and fascinating times ...!!!!
@rbrucemusic7702
And yes, I can confirm that the recording session ended at 3am on Monday morning -- although for somebody that had to get up for work at 5:30am to go to work, it seemed like it went on much longer than that!
B. B.
Remember this only too well. Was recorded (mostly) and then mixed right next door to where we lived at the time -- Mike Loxton's studio on High Street Armadale.
@smrqc
I had the idea on Thursday driving to work at Astor Records. Steve Groves and I wrote in on Friday. Recorded both sides Sat & Sun. Mr Madafferi’s memory of just Sunday is just short of correct. It was finished as stated at 3.00am Monday morning and taken to Astor Records at 8.00 am. It was pressed that morning, sent interstate and was on air in Sydney Monday eve. This must be the only copy in existence. I have the label but not the record. It was all a bit of madness, especially the outdoor recording at Midnight Sat eve of a car screeching to a stop on High Street Armidale. Did three takes then ran inside Michael Loxton’s studio and turned the lights off before the cops came. Also, we rang a female friend of Michaels at one am and got her to come in an do the mad laugh that is on the track. The band were from down the lane near the studio. Steve Groves sang all the vocals (not part of the band). Probably the fastest created single every made in Oz. Hilarious fun. Think it got to number 5 on 7HO Hobarts charts. Hope this helps.

The original version only went for 2 minutes something. Someone on the internet has put this longer mix together.

There was a film clip shown when the song was first played on Countdown, however the ABC obviously just threw some stock footage together so that they had some visuals when they played the song. Was there a Perth connection to this band?

I'm sure I saw a clip on Count Down of the band performing this. Been looking for it ever since. I'm rapt to find this audio version.

Just in from seeing Ed Kuepper playing at the Frankganestan Arts Centre. He's not as grumpy these days, but not a bundle of larfs either. Astounding musical talent, just him, 4 different guitars in various weird tunings and some effects pedals. Old fella still has it. Played to a room of equally old fucks, something from every iteration along the way. Loved it.

Weird Songs that do yer head in...should not even exist...truly mental Trax!
Lincolnshire Anthem (Poaching Song)
Tune is as least 250 years old & has more covers than that...
Sounds rather innocent & is a quality little singalong ditty.
But it gets a little weirder when weird arse people trip out the tune.
Possibly coz it's mostly sung when pissed > Then they come up with these craziest covers.
If yer into Twilight Zone Trax then try yer luck with this Folk / DrWho / Pub-Punk Track

A bit of royalty passed today, the frontman of the Clowns.
@thermalben, pretty sure whenever i bumped into you in the city we were both either coming or going form a Clowns gig.
Absolutely legendary band and i know most South ozzies would have some fond memories of this band and it's phenomenal frontman. Rest in peace Mark Fenech, AKA Ocker Bozo. Voice of a generation really.

The Residents Commercial Album has 40 songs (Stands up well in time)
The Residents founded in the late '60's
Started recording during early '70's
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Residents
tbb is a typical fan that latches onto a period of works...from Mid '70's > mid '80's LPs
1974 Meet the Residents 1976 The Third Reich'n'Roll (Were back tracked)
As above...tbb and many fans were hooked via 1980 Commercial Album...well durr!
But first to intro the Companion UK Bluegrass Snuff Punker that backdoors these weird jingles.
Snakefinger likewise flies under the pre New Wave / Punk Radar as an Alt underground hog Artist
Pretty sure..."Man in the Dark Sedan" was too weird for ABC / MTV
You'd more likely see this on Wonder World as one of Johnno's Flip discs... Hey Kids > check the Freak!
Pretty much all these recordings are still considered alt Goth / Punk / new wave & that won't change.
Rare treat for the crew...just when ya thought ya worn out new wave...gotta go 'round again...proper!
That's why ya need Ben's Tunesmiths to lend an ear to wot ya need to hear...this was & still is the sound!

Great stuff, TBB. Hard to picture The Residents playing the Gold Coast. What a clash of style and culture.
Checking their tour dates, The Residents did 17 Australian gigs in August '86, including just two nights off from the 4th to the 21st.

Geez what to make of this. AI Kurt. So it's his voice. Indisputably. Bent twisted and manipulated into place by A.I. And....it's a masterpiece. One of my favourites. But its also not.....cos it's fake. So confused. Is this something to embrace or reject? I mean it brings him back from the dead right and opens up a whole new avenue of his brilliance. But it lacks....soul. Or does it?

Incredible show at the Croxton last night.
Mod Con opened with some smart snappy tunes, The Nation Blue then kicked it out of the grounds with an incredible set (featuring Paul Dempsey on keys for most of it).
Paul and Dan Kelly were spectacular. Actually realized that I haven't seen Paul play live before.. wow, he's even better on stage than I imagined. Felt like a choir with the whole room singing along.
And then the Drones. Gosh how I have missed them. A fantastic set that - apart from tonight - will likely never be repeated.
What a privilege to stand in the room and watch it all.
Props to the sound engineers too, they did a killer job (what a great room too!).

Ben. Sounds like a great night, well worth flying down.
We used to have a flat two streets away from the Croxton when my son had to go to school in Melbourne a few years ago.
It was always rocking.
I attended the Sunny Boys gig a few years back, a true favourite from the early eighties when we were travelling around on the Bob Hawke Surf Team.
I love the security set up on the front of the premises, construction grade 12mm diameter deformed bar, nobody is getting in or out or breaking in overnight.
Rock solid, like its enduring existence and commitment to live music, may it never die. AW

A lil' while back tbb promised to track down an early gnarly pioneering Skate Punk Track...
Just give up tbb...it's all Micky Mouse Doo Wap ...or so we're led to believe...
Well let's just say tbb found wot he was looking for but in the strangest of places...
Would never have thought to look here...kinda like a bitter pill to kill the golden goose anomaly.
Not a one off novelty act but a signature F.U. Punk sign off from a raucous Beach Club Surf Band....Huh!
How does one set out to look for a contrived breeding ground for an impossibly shit hot Skate Punk track.
Quite simply...one can't or doesn't but if ya sniff around long enough the foul odour will waft your way...Yes!
tbb hovered long enough to scoop a swag of early 1960's skate trax...Like 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5...
Guessing it was part AI auto fashioning sickly daggy searches from same era...
tbb feels he lucked searches off the tail of a default dopey doe-eyed AI.
Fooled Google that tbb's aim was true...Computa had no option but to cough up the goods!
Kinda like a Weak Spot that pays out...Computa coughs up...
'Hey that's not fair...you cheap punk...You tricked me!'...Mine now!
Oh Yes please...come to Poppa Hodad Punk...can smell this sound...it's so pungent...lock it in tbb...Winner!
1963 The Crossfires were a high school Band picked up by local Boomer Redondo Beach Club
High School Hop Band signed with the Devil to join the Fibreglass Jungle...
So yer saying this Beach Club manager spikes the Kidz Hop Soda & turns them into Psycho kooks...Yep!

Got up to see the show last night. Missed Mod Con, but I'm sure you appreciated Raquel's left-of-center drumming, Ben. TNB played a more midpaced set than in days of yore, and sadly nothing from their first L.P, but I highly enjoyed it. Didn't see much of Don Walker due to... reasons, but at one stage I was thinking about how good the slide guitar was, then realised that the player was, of course, Charlie Owen.
I've definitely seen better Drones shows (seen them heaps), but that was to be expected. They were still mostly ripping, and it was fucken great to see those songs live again. Locust was particularly crushing. The whole show wasn't loud enough, though, and I was pretty close to and directly in front of the stage right P.A. Seems to be an issue at the Croxton. My tinnitus thanks the venue, but sometimes ya just wanna feel it, right?
thermalben, 1748647860
Had these guys on high rotation (again!) after Wednesday's show. Whilst their noisy geetar tunes are without peer, I reckon it's some of their most subtle moments that provide the most beauty.
Even more extraordinary is that this is a live recording.

Behold as Swellnet Drum Circle winds up Toy Drummers to grant them a third Life.
Drum machines copped a bad wrap in the New Wave Era (They're not the real deal Mate!)
Mission : Is it possible to fool the crew that Drum Machines make Cool Pets...No! No harm in trying!
Punk Drummer tbb is prepared to give it a bash.
First up...History of Drum Machines...Piano Companion > Pet Lap Dog Devices.
Shares the fact that many pianists long recorded with Drum Machines
https://www.thomholmes.com/post/drum-machines-a-recorded-history-part-1-analog-drum-machines
Wotz odd is that most Drum Machine Trax exploit real live drummers for live presentation...
That's cool huh...( Reverse ) Being Solo Stars Ditching Drummers for Robot Live Gigs
So...there ya go...A total Flip to what you'd expect...[ puta : Does not Compute! ]
Recording Studio's Toy Drummer sacked > Replaced by real drummer to lend cred to Fake Live Band Tour
Legendary Recording Drummer replaced by Fake Drum Machine on Pop Idol's Tour
No! Ya wouldn't read about it huh...Ben's Tunesmiths' Exclusive revolutionary revelation.
This is a wide open road that US funksters travel as well but it's UK where these Geeks defy logic.
So we can run a part 2 / US version later if it can come alive like this.
Nerdy internet claims when Robin was booted from the Bee Gees he immediately sort sweet revenge.
March 1969 both Poor Robin + Plush Bee Gees recorded rival Pop Chart trax.
Poor miserable Robin was forced to record 2 possibly 4 trax on his Piano's Pet Drum Machine...
Song : Saved by the Bell Video (Beat Club Video) Highlights his nifty Home recording studio.
It's actually a Great Tech Vid but it's all too obvious...there's much more to it than this....
But Yes! If yer into this then it is essential to pause Now...
By all means > Cue "Saved by The Bell" [I started a Joke] (Pisstake) & check out his 1969 Tech scene!

But...Robin swears his A-A Side Track is equally as good & could've been a #1
Ok...now yer talkin' that's a massive audacious pretentious King Of Pop Claim (Lets cue that A/A track...)
Guess wot...Nerd is 100% right..."Mother & Jack" is a much better shit hot pet Robot Track...very Cool!
Yes! Can hear the drum machine as an unashamed Driving Tech Force...very honest new wave sound.
Almost impossible for a King of Pop Nerd to claim that & deliver a faultless $2 Techno Track...Listeners agree!
Better than A side > Best Flip side ever...read for yerselves...sounds impossible huh! Yet all hear it! Winner!
Goes down in history as best New Wave '60's Track that none give a shit about...$2 New Wave Wizzard!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voice_(The_Moody_Blues_song)
Yes! It's a surprisingly underrated shit hot Surf Track that flies under the radar waves...
Drummer Graeme Edge created early '70's Electronic Drum Machines > said he was fine with the traitor.
The song was crafted with Click Track but recorded with Edge! (Lost in live translation Ok!)

Hoping for a Big Boom Tish Finish tbb...this better be good [ puta : Affirmative...bring it tbb...said Now! ]
No pressure then...Break the Internet or be banned from it...luv a challenge!
Ok! Would ya believe this Bee Gee Drum Machine Gig gets a 3rd Run at the Charts...(Impossible!)
We gotta Back Track to the very beginning to them Piano Pets...
UK Piano Company "Bentley" Generically branded Bee Gee Robin's Pet Rhythm Ace Robot!

fun tunes all, loved that 'overplayed' drum loop thing @seeds, like the wilhelm scream of drum loops, cool futurama used it, all news to me.
Great drum machine stuff 'Basher.. btw, as a drummer and online research brainbox you might dig this, I got lost...
The infectious Boost Up by Fisher x Flowdan (basically technotronic with baritone vox) has come on a couple times when I've been on the road..
(see clip at the bottom..)
It struck me that when 'we' (kids) say our times-tables every number starts on the downbeat.. even '25' .. perhaps surprisingly much the same as these black velvet groovers,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5Wt_sIfmA8
and these post-rock white boy swingers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiyczpeHZDc
but what makes the track below swing feels familiar.. kinda like a playful the Prodigy swingy spit.. that anticipation/anacrusis of the '25' .. robotic vibe but with that playful swing - infectious as I say.. (in a dark krautrock vs 80s house way) :

US cleverclogs vs. UK clevertrousers in the '60s:
these albums are touted as being genius by some, overblown by others.. try giving them both a good listen objectively. No doubt fans lapped up the effort and the clever.. (think Diorama by Silverchair in this regard)..
also, amazingly beatles-competitive studio techniques..
Any other love/hate classics out there you can think of..?
'let me go home':

'we'll surf like they do in the USA' (they hadn't realised the beachies at tiree, points in the uists, or nate's slab east of thurso back then. Or even fucking cornwall, really. Just that strangely enthusiastic Irish scene..):

oh, fuck it, Newy CS comp fresh in people's minds as being much better than a Trestles CT comp in a lot of ways..
..any boomers out there or early X-gens.. this is a millennial album by a band with free reign (sic) and all the cash and support they desired.. like Use Your Illusion I & II. This shit can go either way.
(I love that more music was made in the 60s than any other time - golden era music.. why I subscribe to Ugly Things Mag, the 60s was a thing! But how cool are these weird concept/passion projects in the modern [ish] era?
but jeez, there's been some good music since. The Juliet Letters by Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet is still my No. 1 collaboration).

Bringing back the covers theme, something that shouldn't work but just does.
Amazing what shows up in your Spotify steam.
From the bands bio:
"Bobby Ramone is just that, what resulted from a group of drunken friends who decided to record and produce an album playing Ramones while sampling Bob Marley."
