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.

Gave Mr Bungle's first album a run yesterday, first time in twenty-odd years.

My god what an epic mix of erm, stuff. Can't even begin to imagine the process to create those tunes.

I saw they (Mr Bungle) are touring next year Ben, with the Melvins. Could be good, but check the ticket price...

One of the more memorable gigs in the 90’s for me was Mr Bungle at Narabeen Sands. They went off in their unique way. I hired a full body costume for the gig, a giant teddy bear. Stage diving and crowd surfing was in full flight at the time and every time I went up the crowd cheered, Mike was making the odd comment and seemed to enjoy my presence and it’s still to this day the only time I’ve had girls lining up to cuddle me. I miss the 90’s

Yeah this one goes deep JF...(I still regard Kaiowas off the Chaos A.D album as one of the most powerful songs around especially given the context of it).
"Previously unseen video footage of Brazilian metallers SEPULTURA staying and recording with the Xavante tribe, an indigenous people within the territory of eastern Mato Grosso state in Brazil, in November 1995 can be seen below.
SEPULTURA's 1996 album "Roots" included the song "Itsari" ("roots" in the Xavante language),which was recorded during the band's stay with the Xavante tribe and is said to be part of a healing ceremony chant. A small number of Xavante even travelled to São Paulo to partake in SEPULTURA's Barulho Contra Fome (Noise Against Hunger) concert in 1998 that marked the start of the band's tour for the follow-up album, "Against" (as documented in SEPULTURA's music video for the song "Choke").
Asked how SEPULTURA's collaboration with the Xavante tribe came about, the band's then-drummer Igor Cavalera said in a 1996 interview: "After we did 'Kaiowas' on [the] 'Chaos AD' [album], we thought that the only thing that could top something like that for us would be to actually record something we'd done, and something out of our control with them.
"We all have a heritage, you know — a Indian heritage from Brazil. Everyone in SEPULTURA except [guitarist] Andreas [Kisser], [who has] an all-European heritage [since his family] went to Brazil after the war. Me, [then-SEPULTURA guitarist/vocalist] Max [Cavalera] and [SEPULTURA bassist] Paulo [Xisto Pinto Jr.], half of our families are native from Brazil, so it's something really special for us to put on the album and to be part of it.
"The whole trip was something we never thought would be possible to achieve. Luckily enough, we spoke to the right person, and we didn’t have to go through the Brazilian government to get this done; it was straight from a person that represents the tribe outside, you know, so it was like amazing. It was just [about the] music; [that was] the main thing, it was music.
"Most of the white people that went there were studying them and doing research of what they were about, so they had no relation with them, ...so with us, they were really happy to have us there, because we were not there to treat them as freaks... it was like just music. The exchange, you know. [We had] no compromise with them, which, to us, was really important. Not kind of like Sting, going into the tribe and after that trying to do something for the tribe, to save the tribe — nothing like that. We go in and had no compromise with that shit; all we wanted to do was play music with them and that was it."
Regarding how SEPULTURA chose the Xavante tribe to collaborate with, Igor said: "I think the main thing was that we didn’t have to go through the government to speak to them. The fact that we picked the Xavante tribe was because it was our word and their word and that was it — no bullshit involved."

My mind drifts to mass whale strandings reflecting on this song...
We're all sentient beings...
"This song is inspired by a Brasilian Indian tribe
Called "Kaiowas", who live in the rain forest.
They committed mass suicide as a protest against
The government, who was trying to take away their land and beliefs."

southernraw punked tbb...
They would hate the way ya looked > Gonna Kill ya...knives to yer throat / ribs.
Sharpie / Ska Skins / Punks (vs) Neo Nazi Skins kickin' everyone & their walls in.
Cops pull ya over several times a day > Ban ya from Town
Confiscated Gear / Censor Song Sheets / Plant Drugs on ya. / Lock ya up.
Sleepin' on filthy floors with Pet Rats in Hovels / Squats.
Pre 1984 Chix were allowed to sing / play songs on Band's gear at end of set as party songs.
Cops would raid big gigs of 40 -100 or bust up Loud Shed Practice.
Can't recall a Gig outside a Venue that wasn't Raided.
Play Gigs at Venue's under 'Plain Name' then get banned...
Not allowed to make a record or unwrap a new cassette for band recording...
Unwritten Goldie Punk Cred back in the day... (Up yerselves - Sell Out > Posh Brizzo Punkz )

Unreal, as all that was in the Doco...wins Aussie Punks tick of Approval!

This may surprise...End o' World Cults split into 2 main Camps ( Respect Chix Equally Camp - Lefties )
Sharpies / Rockers / Ska / Mods / Punks / Goths / Gays / Protesters / Hippies / Folkies / Mob.

(vs) Sink Piss then Gang Bang Chix.
Thugs (Cops / Skinheads / Bikers) + Sat nite Rev Heads .
Jocks > Footy Boofs / Clubbies / Surfies / Yob Surf-Skate Punks that hate chix...(Self Righteous bigots)

[Factcheck] No such thing as Pre '84 Surf / Skate Punk (Choose which side yer on!) Can't be both!
Any sayin' other, were no Punkz...tbb & many Punkz had to mark the line in the sand by initiation/s.
That whole mate against mate shit...
tbb & none ever enforced initiation...one chooses their own blood sacrifice & passes or fails themself!
Punks instantly know who fails, as ya can smell the wannabe desperation.

Recall a few Surf Gromz near bleeding to death while makin' the cross!
Tip! Never hacksaw both Arms & ask tbb if yer Punk enough now! That's a pitiful Fail...All say Aye!
Tattoo or ear piercing won't buy ya access into Goldie Punk Crew either...

Need not even spill blood if yer punk enough! Impossible to live up to that...can try...that's the test!
You'd need to lead as head Punk...knock all others out at Demolition Dancin' or fuck off as a loser!
Back in the day...Lead Punks were Racer X ...most gave up State sports reps to live more wild!
Pretty sure most know how to go about makin' yer mark to become a punk! Step it Up & bring it!
You're either are one...or not...not exactly somethin' ya can fake..
eg: Tallest Tree into Shallowest rock pool > Top Speed on Bike No Helmet > Own the Mosh Pit!
You can do that...then you're the Lead Punk! Otherwise...stick to the rails!

When ya walk the street as proud as Punks do...ya press everyone's buttons & all want ya dead!
Gotta live while being hunted 24/7...Including Cops often breakin' in & fittin' ya up for crimes...
A lead Punk is a dead man walking...tbb still feels every Killer's blade to each vital organ...
Yes! Killers...not just normal madmen but Gang Leaders & Killers wanna Kill You & Cops will frame you!
Soon as yer up...you'll know it & clock is countin' down yer time on Earth...
tbb's reckoning is 3-6 months tops...you'll know when yer time is up...each knock gets louder then they crash on in!
Cart ya outta bed in Cuffs & set ya up...You are now being tested...is being a Punk worth a life in Jail & for what?
tbb pushed on...held ground...just like those in the doco...have every right to walk freely.
Until each time ya leave the house the cops drive off the road to block yer path!
Banned from town they say...Can't eat! So wot brought this on...
1st Goldie 6 inch high Multi Coloured Mohawk
String Vest / Leather Studded Jacket with Outer Sleeves Ripped Off (Tartan Lining)
Tartan Kilt / Bum Flap / Garters -Tartan Socks / GP Boots / Studded Belt / Bands..
(Folk either crossed the Road or Wanted a Photo!)

That's exactly what pushes an ex commando to hold a Knife to yer ribs...
+ declare my head will be rolling separate in that gutter on next town visit!
Or Rugby Team demand tbb remove the Kilt...or not leave until so...not happening!
Never backed down on own pride...gang were sick of the unwanted Police attention..back down or live on yer own!
Extremely lucky to live & tell...lost plenty of Punk mates in those years.

Surf Punks came after 1984 & were no longer initiated! Not real Blood Brothers...just sayin...
Crew can hear that post '84 Dorky US Jock Punkz sound is fun, but lacks cred...no core punk element!
That's the genuine reason...they're not a family cult...just rag tag balladeers with no reason or rhyme!

Even more so knowing you lived it. That had me on the edge of my seat.
Glad i shared that doco just for your deep dive.
Thankyou TBB. Pure gold.
Sounds like a terrifying time..although i kinda lived through a later stage of that too. Yeo, some sketchy times. There are killers out there.
You're as punk as they come TBB and you'll probably take that as an insult and thats why you are.

southernraw shares in the doco...Punk 4 Life...
No punk plans to be...you just wear the badge like a cheap suit.

Initiations : Arm Slashings / Safety Pin in Cheek...careful not to pierce yer lip...Bleeds like crazy.
Rippin' each other's shirt collars off..in the mosh...chix 'd mount yer back to rip yer shirt off.
Claiming Large Oz Flags...Taggin' Street Signs...
Unlawful rad / destructive driving...(Not Hooning) But fucked up shit...
Think driving with hands on Pedals & Passenger steering or thru Park on Bike Paths at night...
Drag Racing / Crash UP Derbies > Canal Launch > Brick wall smashes > Non helmet bike stuff.
Quite a few Punk Band Mates died young from Car Smashes from a rogue set of wheels...
Quite a few committed suicide...Goldie Punks were hit hard on each level.

Fail : Cutting off yer own shirt collar / sleeves with scissors...never do that...Punkz will ban you!
Recall the '80's Gays designer pre slashed Jeans now with Knee Holes & Threadbare tears!

Sleeves were ripped off by brothers...
These initiations were common with Chix as well...
Suckin' Lighter Fluid from a plastic bag would get ya in...scoring more bags & yer the Boss!
Most have slashed wrists > tbb has a deep gashed Arm by Punk Chick + Anarchy carving (Light)
None were planned...nor accidental ... it's the step it up ethos that drives punks...too late...it's done!
Flipside being Psychotic episodes...the whole group stand strong as one, to ride out the bad trip!
Always back each other up...coz no Mobile support / No Lifeline on call back then...
True! If a Punk Chick was freakin' out...all us guys would sit out a gig...happened a few times.

Ultimate Punk Sacrifice ....
Punk Chick would lead her man by Dog collar but the safety pin chain - mouth to ear was next level.
Kinda like a Punk Chix Bondage initiation...right of passage to lead her man awards her protection.
It represents equal power to chix within the group...very rare in youth gangs but normal within punkz.
Goldie Punkz had well the highest % of Chix in gang & livin' with male flatmates.
Not unusual to rock up at PC's with 25 Punk Blokes & 40 Punk Chix + 5 Gays + A Few Mob...
This was Alien to all life around us...(Recall avg Oz age was much more youthful but more Blokey)
Footy Boofs / Clubbies / Bikers / Surfies all Gang Bang & piss the Chix off...not welcome in Lad Gangs.

However! Goldie Punk chix were expected to back up all crazy Punk shit.
Southern crews know Aussie equal formula was 100% derived from Sharpies.
Say wot yer like... Sharpie / Punk Chix were first to gain equal rights within' toughest Male bastions.
Sharpies/Punkz allowed Chix to step up and lead in Fights & Gigs if they so choose.

Us Punk Blokes greatest legacy...Sharpie / Punk chix are now highly respected by whole society.
Less said is these Chix made their / our own outfits...zero Corp Fashion.

Includes Punk chix often holdin' their own...cornered by 10-20 gang banging surfies.
Bloke Punks often shielded their Chix at Toilets as they were targeted & trapped otherwise...
See it often...5-10 cowards hangin' outside toilets ready to jump a punk chick.

This is what societal Dad's feared the most...seeing Oz Punk daughters shiftin' gears...goin' next level!
Compare that to Chiko Chix minding yer towels...(100-200 yrs Chix progression in a few short years!)
Punk's new world ground up ethic smashed all cemented barriers at once...livin' it!

tbb's punk ethic only grows stronger...
Comp Boardridin' > Bodybashin' affords radical power surfing of whole wave not just the cake icing.
Ever get told off & banned for manhandling Waves in WSR or now bare handling the town's Rubbish!
People react violently..say ya can't do it...tbb has no idea wotz so wrong with hands on direct approach.
Govt's / Corps / Hodads all say it's too risky & Punk tbb must get on board & stick to the rails...
tbb says ya can fuck that lame Corp shit right off...

Nothin' ever changes...just remain punk by ethic...swore to do Goldie Punkzines in 1983 -2013
Frightening to recall mates reeling off dates of Deaths as tributes in Zines...be a tough read.
Recall Brizzo Mate Terry had all his printed Zines Confiscated & Burned on Joh's bonfires!
As said, our bands Lyric Sheets were confiscated just like them Books in the Punk Doco

Southernraw seems to think Goldie Punkzine/s is well overdue...yer right! Gotta be more punk!
Thanx for sharing the Oz Punk Show...breathe new life into old Punk...go round again'...bloody hell!

hey southernraw - I did see that doco, and also thought it was epic. A great timeline of the whole scene. I was pleased to see the infamous '96 ZZZ Market Day was covered.

and loved reading your responses TBB - also epic!

and the week before that punk doco was one about the Triffids lead Dave McComb - 'Love in Bright Landscapes'. Dont have a link to it but search for it if interested (also on SBS on demand). It is very good. I'm sure some on here will enjoy it.

Anyone going to the Sydney/WoyWoy/Vic gigs, just a heads up, Mad Macka was delightfully woeful, haha. 3 of the crew I was with left to go play pool. Their loss but, being in a room of 30-40 kindred crusties, up close to a solo Psycho.. he could have just stood there and farted and I would have enjoyed it (I think he did at one point). Pat Todd was glorious, what a voice and songwriter. Authentic as they come. Stories are getting around of his Geelong River Rocks gig: the whole crowd spellbound, many tattooed punks getting teary.. I can see why. Cheers again, @GreenJam

@basesix can vouch for the River Rocks gig. It was incredible and very emotional. Had hoped to make it over to Ballarat on the Sunday for his arvo gig but things didn't pan out so couldn't make it.

Pat Todd is without a doubt one of the most underrated songwriters of our time. Everything the Lazy Cowgirls did was amazing and he continues churn out great records to this day.

He has promised to return this year with the Rank Outsiders...definitely not one to be missed.

yes Kook-Man, I agree with your sentiment, and we can expect a Patt Todd and the Rank Outsiders gig later this year. And a brief chat with him after the Maroochydore gig had him suggesting there'll be plenty of regional gigs in that tour, so good chances to see them outside of the big city centres. Looking forward to it.

Cosmics gig last night. Pretty damn good. Far out, ZEKE were intense, a ferocious onslaught from start to finish, as was to be expected. If you dig a bit of Motorhead, Supersuckers, Dwarves, New Bomb Turks...., then I hope you'll get to see ZEKE. The sound was literally penetrating my body.

and very well done Ross, after a snake bite very recently, he's kicked on with the tour, seemingly unaffected. The Cosmics set was damn good, as also to be expected. A great night.

did you get to is Seeds?

The cheese and kisses was there. I had to work. Bummer but I did see them a few years ago. Have they still got that big Scotsman on bass?

Did they have the screen up for Falco's ears?

Yep, AND he was wearing ear muffs over his in-ear monitors too. He didn't explain why though.

Looked weird at first (I thought it was to keep 'em from falling out?), but then it strangely just seemed to be normal, relative to the on stage antics.

Deafcult opened for 'em, they were great too.

that's a shame Seeds. Re the bass player - well, he is a big man, Jason Freeman, but not sure on the Scottish heritage.

and that's also possibly a shame Rooney - but maybe you could still get to see them. They're playing a heap of Vicco gigs over the coming weeks. Make the effort man, it's a guaranteed memorable one
