Cross-thread inspiration.
Kinda timely too in light of Chancellor Scholz' war speech:
Which war speach was that Stu?
Late last month in response to Ukraine war. Germany's plans to, not only triple defence spending, but also manufacture and ship arms to other countries, including Ukraine, ending 75 years of German pacifism. Apparently met with bilateral support.
Yeewww fun times back then.

Something a little different.

Haha. Strange coincidences. In that other gigs thread, I was just thinking of when I've ever been to a gig that got stopped stone dead for whatever reasons. Closest I ever saw was DRI & COC at the Astoria in London, 1990. Pretty sizeable venue, and sold out crowd.
Stage diving was outta control. Shitloads of crew were launching off speakers, clambering up the walls, swinging from the rafters (guilty, m'lud). Mental. Security were overwhelmed and panicked. Some punter got belted by a mag lite, then the crowd went really ballistic. Security hammered. Shit getting torn up. Riot!
The lights were turned on. The cops were threatened to be on their way. Kurt of DRI appealed to the throng to chill out, and somehow things came together. Took a fair old while though. Lotta frenzied negotiation. Management finally let the gig go on fearing the place being torn apart, and a real riot out on the streets, I daresay. Good decision in hindsight.
Poll Tax riot happened later that year. Now that was wild!
put some dri up
The Clowns at the crown shit show almost came to a stinking halt filthy!!!
GG approved.
More gastro than screamo.
Before metal took its toll.
I guess you had to be there?
Neu. Go Seano go
few extra from the comments
1995 they brought out two EPs and still some of their best work in my opinion. Was still a side project for Quan and Ben at this stage. It was great live and somewhat a break from Seattle ‘grunge’ at the time
One of my favourite local live acts back in the day.
Great cover
Nice Fitz. Love that Chase the Dragon. Tex has been good in all his incarnations and bands over the years. Bought a BoB CD early nineties but didn’t give it enough cred. Young and stupid into the next big thing Seattle. Tastes change
Agree on Tex and the Beasts Seeds. His book is a good one if you havent read it.
thanks Robwilliams - I dig that Bikini Kill tune. My first exposure to them was the Summersault festival at Southport, I think '95. That was an epic lineup.
then just recently I came across the Julie Ruin, and have enjoyed some of that now and again
...And a good pet name for your todger (if you're that way inclined)
Heard this the other day. Sound alright.
Of the Australian music movements of today, I don't know much about the live scenes that have been hit hard of late. Any type. Last I saw Australian hip hop had become allot grittier. Psychedelica had made a come back with more guitars. etc. Indigenous music is getting more air play. Both radio and tv. Always interesting.
the lighthouse keepers.
some great gigs at the Harold Park hotel and various squats around Sydney in the early 80s. ..such a good band!
Out of step...
Have been going through the CD's, tapes and l.p's at home, converting all to digital files before things disintegrate. Came across a great live album by this band. More Lighthouse Keepers than Minor Threat, but fun to remember the past.

I feel like ive already told you this?...
But i went to this little overnight festival up the back of the Sunny Coast in the 94 called the Emundi band bash the Gurge played, I believe it was one of their first gigs, i think everyone was raving about them but i can't remember much of the bands, I never really got into them in the 90s, but over the last few years ive come to appreciate a lot of their stuff (and a lot of other bands i wrote off back then)
I listen to a lot of music podcast interviews and sometimes that makes you curious to revisit and re-listen to stuff in a new light, in the 90s i was a bit to cool for the stuff Triple J flogged :D

Someone mentioned these guys the other day, another band i never really got into but now dig a lot of their stuff, probably didn't get the recognition they should have.
Killer song.

It would have to close to first gig if 94
They came from some cool underground bands playing Brizzy. Ben was from Pangaea and Quan from Zoorastia.
How bad is Triple J these days. Barely a song with guitars drums and bass to be heard
Regurgitator's first EP was incredible. As a result of that record, my band ended up asking Magoo (their producer) to fly to Adelaide to produce our second EP (this was mid-'96). Didn't realise he'd turn out to be one of the most sought-after producers in the country. Really nice bloke - slept in my spare room for a week, and as he wasn't very well known at the time, charged us a fraction of the rates he'd soon be charging in the following years.

Yeah in the podcast i listened too they talk in depth about how they met and previous bands etc and the making of Tu-Plang which is interesting as made in Thailand and they talk about their adventures there.
Some of that Pangaea stuff is okay like this track but a bit generic the Gurge are more interesting overall.
Something a bit different, i thought it was going to more of a Frente style take on things, but not at all, once it builds up and gets going it's a pretty classy cover.
Here's some earlier stuff Indo. This was when we were seeing them live. I never really got into that album. Good live. Listening to this it doesn’t do it justice to the live sound. One thing it really reminded me how awesome Dave Atkins was on drums. He was later in Resin Dogs which were a different beast but great live

Id knows shit. There's a fucken rule of thumb.
Duh.

Sounds very Mothers Milk or earlier Chilli Peppers like, not exactly my thing but can still appreciate how someone might get into it especially live.
Found out last minute yesty evening that the Hoodoo Gurus were in town (Kingy Hotel), thought I'd try my luck and see if there were any tickets at the door, managed to get in though it was jam-packed. Didn't bother lining up for a drink, looked like it'd be a half-hour wait at least.
Haven't seen the HG since the late 90's, and they played just as good if not better this time 'round. Kinda staggering how many hit songs they've had over the decades too. Felt pretty old though - don't think I saw anyone in the audience under the age of forty.
Kinda odd to look back at the band's history too - first four albums were incredible, the last of which (Magnum Cum Louder) was released in 1989, about the time I started playing in a band at high school. So, I grew up with HG on the radio and TV, but by the time I was gigging I'd found different music channels and didn't have much interest in their new stuff. So by the mid 90's their appeal had lessened quite a bit, though their early albums remained on high rotation for a while.
And then they became one of my numerous forgotton bands as albums and tapes gave way to CDs, then iTunes and now Spotify etc. I reckon I may have played their tunes perhaps a couple of times in the last twenty years. Wouldn't know any of the names of the new songs or albums they have released since the mid-90's. But... they played a few songs of their brand new album last night and while they weren't in the same league as the old gear, they slotted into the set pretty well (and surprisingly, the audience were quite receptive).
Anyway, great gig, get out and see 'em if you can.
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.
