Saw them together at a Big Day Out. Can't recall what year.

Here's one thing I'd never seen before.

While searching YouTube for music yesterday:

- I think it was '92 the BDO, another collab in article

Yep exactly same thing happened to me when searching for the same band.
Geez they were good a little while back on Sunny Coast!!

..speaking of Henry Garfield...
from around '81/'82 the DC two-piece below, Snakes, was doing tongue-in-cheek pisstake punk, surrounded by the emerging hardcore and straightedge dudes (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Fugazi, etc). Henry was in a band with them (SOA), and convinced 20-yr-old Ian MacKaye to record the Snakes duo for Dischord records, but they were eventually released on the Discard sub-label, cos they weren't seen as cool enough by Ian, et al. (though punk pathetique was an authentic part of the DC scene.. ):

"everyone did these serious bands but then we all made ridiculous tapes at the same time, which were always more fun than the real bands. I have this tape of a new romantic band called Show 'n' Tell, which was Ian (MacKaye), me (Michael Hampton, Snakes, SOA), Eddie Janney (Faith, Rites of Spring), Mark Sullivan (Kingface), Ivor Hanson (SOA, Faith) and those are actually really good songs. We were trying to do Flock of Seagulls"..

I can't find that, (unfortunately!), but for $8, here's the Snakes debut:
https://snakes.bandcamp.com/album/i-wont-love-you

or a free taste:

this stuff is very listenable for lovers of Meanies, Hard-ons, etc.. but if you like your punk like you like your wrestling, below is a gem of a clip from some of the above musos:

^^ Alec Mackaye, you-know-who's brudda, on vocals.

That Snakes song is great. DC hardcore encouraged monomania, short songs, stripped back, it was part of the monastic appeal - even shaved their heads like monks - but it also meant harmony and irreverence were in short supply.

That said, I enjoy the occasional Minor Threat live clip, especially the gigs in halls and rooms where there's no raised stage so the band and audience are level and bedlam ensues.

Like this. Minor Threat's greatest minute played live. Yeah it's a cover but whack it in the basket labelled 'covers that are better than the originals'.

that's epic; that guy throwing himself onto his own face halfway through sums up the scene's exquisite commitment.

These guys are good. Plini. (no singing lol ;)
Young bloke got me onto them he's a mad guitarist.
He saw them in Copenhagen last night.

Minor Threat/Ian Mackaye legendary stuff.
Grew up on that Minor Threat album.
Seemed like each song got faster than the one before it.
Original punk ethos. Respect.

+1 for Plini.
Cenny coast boy FWIW.

Had tickets to see him and Sungazer a couple of months ago, until the mrs pointed out that leaving her at home with a newborn and a toddler wouldn't be a wise move... mates said it was a great show.

Clowns are scary....

Happy Sunday Crew ~ Thanx for the Tunes...enjoy yer week...Keep The Fire Burning...

;);)

Speaking of Minor threat, right now im just listening to a great Podcast with Ian talking about recording Out of step. (the early EPs were much better though)

Great podcast, the pixies surfer rosa was a good listen and surprisingly the violent femmes ST was even better.

Yet to listen to any others a few good albums covered though like from Melvins, Mudhonry etc

Thanks for that ID.

From left field comes a visit from a band I hadn't paid attention to since they had their cocks in their socks and jumped up and down a lot.

Oddly the refresher came via my prodigious 14-year old nephew playing a song of theirs I hadn't really known, and upon lyrical inspection appears yet another ode to Hillel Slovak - released twenty-something years after his death and who-knows-how-many other musical odes later.

If Caravaggio can endure down through the ages for painting nude salad-dodgers then Anthony Kiedis can find his muse - and keep finding his muse - in the needle and damage done.

I think I’ve posted about these guys before but to be so young (16-17) and come out with a song like this is fucking epic.
Too bad two of them died of heroin overdoses at 30/31
Never get sick of this one.

Joel Silbesher is still kicking around. Plays in Headland, do live soundtracks to surf films, worth catching.

Hoss still play semi-regularly. Always worth checking them out...extremely underrated band.

This Track should be on Damned [Anything LP]...( Better than impossibly excellent ) Hooked 4 life!

Kinda weird theme of familiar hooks were sought for this School of Classic Rock Lesson.
Each song lends a hint to their maker but all just load it up & shoot for the moon...Skyrockets!

Yes...they do keep up the Quality...very good Collector set!

Be interested if ya check Cassette...There is an Anomaly on the You Tube [1] CD version...
On both track listings shown above...neither resemble the LP.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/203130866898
tbb's fav song is missing
Battledress by Brizzo Band '1313 Mockingbird Lane'
Ya just gotta get this Roo Art recording of this Track..
Can share the rough Alt version...but these guys polished it into real Powerhouse Gem.
You can listen & read the same...about the rough (Poison Girls Crass Like Edit) here...
Roo Art really kick this track as the standout tune but also a credit to Bris' Bands!
tbb thinks they were made to pull the Band as it clashed with US psych band.
Mainly coz it links to US Band on some reviews!

Makes the LP even more rare...just get the Young Blood edit of Battledress (It's that Good!)
Lifts this 'Crass Like' track into overdrive...if any can cue it...Yes! Please!

you're right, tbb, they really stepped it up a notch ; )

Here you go TBB. It appears to be on it.


Ignore B6, he is playing games again.

Ha funny fecker. I have a stereo from years back that keeps on giving. Vinyl, tapes, CD and radio even. Inputs for digital even. The cassette output quality is nearly CD level if the tape is in good condition. The young uns love this sort of stuff, its worth a bomb now - check ebay.

Ha. Bloody love it.
Made em to last back then!

Musical interlude III,

Sorry, wrong thread

A tune from the greatest tribute band ever - The Misfats.

Re: Young Blood LP. Seeing the Trilobites on there sent me down memory lane. I'm pretty sure the track (All hail the new right) was on a surf movie back in the day - which led me to buying Savage Mood Swing.....It was awesome to relisten after so many years.
On another topic, I've been listening to "Shake some Action" - an audio book by Stuart Coupe. While a lot of the bands he mentions don't ring a bell, many of the others do and it's also sent me down a Flaming Groovies rabbit hole. I mention the book, because this guy holed up in Adelaide in his early writing years and I know there are a couple of SA music fiends out there. B6 and Ben from memory amongst others. Probably worth checking out for you guys.
