cheers mate ^ we're used to missing stuff in SA. (long as WA and Tassie miss out, too, we're pretty philosophical about it).
@seeds, this Thursday Island episode from series 2 of Back Roads just popped on.. know you like a bit o' Back Roads, and I reckon you'd appreciate the music of Henry 'Seaman' Dan (RIP):

basesix, that left me with a big smile on my face.
2 weeks in & tbb is slipping...did back track some...
Good on the crew pushin' the new sites'n'sounds...
Did wanna give a shout out to a quality early 80's band
Another rare Oz unit from tbb's collection
Crew will know at least one of these trax...
Not because it got air play...but purely coz 80's Birdman collectors luv it...
Crew will know this track coz they would've hunted it down by word of mouth...

Oz punk bands were supposed to pack it in...forgot to tell this lot...
They just went next level with the Birdmen / Hitmen sound...
One of them trax that dusts off the Top shelf...
Like if ya gonna do this...ya wanna go all out & nail it...with Spades!
Not much history about this unit...so tbb will share what he's got...
Gonna have to wing it...
Starts with that shit hot keyboardist from Dave Warner...
Exactly...all know that keyboard bosses that song...steals the show...Huh!
Lad has got an ear for a tune...listen to early unheralded polished punchy hard Punk rock
Don't ever underestimate this single...it's a solid Punk kicker & all know it!
Of course tbb has this LP as well...
Warner's keyboardist John Denison formed The DA's (Sydney > re : MC 5 Sound)

9th Sept 2012 > Ultra Rare review...salute Wallaby Beat...good stuff...
http://wallabybeat.blogspot.com/2012/09/
From DA's grabbed brother on Bass...to form Howling Commandos
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122187473768019768&set=ecnf.6155059...
You will hear they keep this classic polished MC5...sound...but rebrand it as their own...
Their keyboard player is from Screaming Tribesmen...( Gurus Link )
swellnet drum circle tbb informs their crunchy drummer kick'd on with hard hitting Voodoo Lust.
Drummer Michael McCallum > clearly among the best of the day...insane intensity...luv that kit...man.

That wild Guitarist is Tony Gibson still plays in Sydney Band ~The Naked Lunch...
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122187473942019768&set=ecnf.6155059...
So ya got some shit hot hard hitting players...more than capable of ramping MC5 / Birdman...
tbb is a player of this era...can share more insight on this record...
Can personally vouch that 2nd track salutes Stiv Bators / Dead Boys - Lords of the New Church
No doubt about it...a quality tribute at that!
Enjoy Howling Commandos
Nice one TBB, hadn't heard those guys. Voodoo Lust are another matter.
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.
