Tunes
Yes, funny how complete introverts are drawn to thrusting themselves into the spotlight as performers. Ron Pino of Died Pretty, Dave Faulkner, Stephen Cummings of the Sports spring to mind.
I met Dave Faulkner after a gig once. I had a Gurus t-shirt which he took into the a back room to get signed by the band. It was a spit the dummy shirt from way back in 1997. I still have it in pristine condition. Also got a poster and a pick from the same tour. I should get it framed. Didn't know he was introverted, he was very social and appreciative of our fan boy adulation. Don't know much about Ron Pino, but Stephen Cummings sure is left of centre.
Great story, they are good to their fans. Have never met Dave Fawkner, just got that impression from him when he was being interviewed. Ron used to hide behind the speaker stacks when singing in the early days. Still really shy in interviews but tansforms on stage.
New, old.
That was fun facto, great clip with Thee Oh Sees track. Some more old.
As featured on BB for real. Jeez, helluva gig the other night too.
2 drummers going hammer n tongs was quite the spectacle.
You catch them in freo?
A spiritual shift, many moons ago,....
"All cards played, soon to be revealed,
Demons that plagued, they too will yield,
Without fear or failure, i'll never back down
There'll be no looking back as i head out of this town
Like a flea, under my collar, bite got harder my resistance got stronger
I'll laugh longest, and i'll laugh last but it'll take me an eternity to get to that"
Yeah, Freo, Blackers. Quite a crowd. Last time I saw 'em was at Mojo's dive bar. Youngsters are tuning in, it seems.
Really liked the Sleaford Mods there, SL.
Found these guys, have no idea who they are but been enjoying listening:
Nice, VJ.
The Giving Tree! Shel Silverstein rides again. Now there was a Renaissance Man.
Here's a woman.

Went and saw Bad Religion and Social Distortion last night. Farken epic show! If can get to Sydney or Melbourne shows, do it!
Can someone point me to the part of the thread that has the Rockin' Teds, or whatever they were called. These guys in black leather jackets doing really weird street dancing as clip to their tune... need to see this again.

Seen them friday at riverstage too. BR were unreal - id have loved another hour though. I seen that BR's first show was supporting Social D in the early 80's. 2 bands who have aged incredibly well!
The Rolling Stones are currently recording a new album with Paul McCartney on Bass and Ringo Starr playing drums.

2023 Chix Resolution Revolution (Regurgitation Revival)
Ok! Whole crew knows of 1981 New Wave Cheer Hit "Hey Mickey... by Toni Basil"
Ever wonder where polished performance track originated?
Toni actually recorded quality Alt Rock tracks back in the '60's
1966 Breakaway (Gritty Northern Soul)
1966 I'm 28 (Alt Dark Avant Garde)
Toni was that Gogo dancer in all them '60's Teen Flix.
Downunder Flip Side...partner in crime!
Mike Chapman was born in Nambour on Sunny Coast (Writer / Singer / Guitarist)
UK Sept 1967 Downliners Sect > Dec 1967 Tangerine Peel >1969/70 Chapman/Chinn

1970's > Chapman / Chinn Wrote/Produced way too many hits!
1979 UK band Racey LP "Smash and Grab" B2 "Kitty" by Chapman / Chinn
This track was not a single or hit...but is annoyingly infectious!
Simply swap 'Kitty' with 'Mickey' for 1981 Toni Basil hit !
1980 Toni was dating one or two Devo dudes...& Fronted the band on 3 Devo covers!
Just saying that she simply changed some lyric & some music & recorded it as Toni Basil.
Devo fans prefer Toni's versions over New Traditionalists...Ok! Good Point!
1981 Toni simply traded Racey's 'Kitty' for 'Mickey' & kept the same tune in similar fashion.
Tom Breihan walks the crew thru this period...

Yes! Devo also again performed with Toni for film/s...1988 "Slaughterhouse Rock"

Traversing some ground there Rob; moving from Marvin Gaye to Sonic Youth is some kind of rupture in the space time continuum.

Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.
Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.
