or the "watcha want"clip they just did for jjj like a version
Mac, my 8 year old son said to me a few months ago "Dad, can we go and see Coldplay?". He listens to my iPod and has taken to some of my music (not Mona by Craig Mcdickhead tho). I wish I had followed it through as they are in my top 5 all time.
Chrispy, my 1st live band was Billy Joel as well at the Ent Cent in march 91 - the uptown girl looked so hot. Saw the Rads twice at Maroubra Seals drinking Op it wasn't pretty.
Did you know it has been proved that it is impossible to keep your head still whilst listening to an ACDC song ?
Ok so I made that bit up bit it's true.

How did I forget tumbleweed????
My first ever live gig was the baby animals at the arts factory in the bay, anyone remember them?
Mix tumbleweed, front end loader, meanies, hard ons, cosmic psychos, super early grinspoon ( were at my Uni) early frenzal and mix it with some American punk and you have my radio show with another guy at Uni called Flatulence.
Im back in 1994 again!
^^^^rotfl i was just thinking of them guys. very relaxed. they have a new album coming ot soon,or it has just been released. mmmsticky
thanks for the clips sp will watch them all now
i miss newtown
that was the goods sp.cheers.
now could you pop up....billy thorpe...some people i know
and , the avalanches... frontier psychiatrist please
Pfff my first live band was at the Playroom and also The Oils met the wife there her first time there,someone had to to steer her away from the riff
I haven't posted just sitting back and viewing what you guys come up with,Scotty a great Oils classic mate
another classic band they didn't last long but the guitarist spencer p jones went onto beasts of bourbon and pops up playing for guys like paul kelly
the shows were pretty wild as people were getting pretty loose and the johnnys would invite the crowd onstage for the last song sometimes
i also remember quite a few people getting nude and streaking at the castanet club xmas concert at the newcastle workers (pre earthquake) and they held the record crowd attendance at the time
pleased to admit i was too young for the star hotel which in fact was 79http://www.maynard.com.au/maynards_malaise/the_sandman_remembers_the_c.html
Laceys ... bit of trivia...At E.Costello 's first Australian concert in Syd 1978 he only played for 40 mins and walked off stage much to the disgust of the crowd. i was there next night and he only played 1h 15m. IMO his music has aged well cause he has experimented/changed styles with class.
Sorry guys I don't get to check the forum often enough and I missed this topic earlier. So many good bands mentioned and so hard to chose but being an old digger I had to go for Redgum and 'I Was Only 19'. Have a listen and pause a minute and think of our boys still serving OS and dreaming of surf back home.
