Brick Brick host a somewhat impromptu house show at Thrill Hill, which is where the band <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/2018/03/thrill-hill-houseshow-24-march-2018.html" target="_blank">began</a>. This was also the last time we'll play there as certain bricks move overseas, so you could say this was the final set in our little natural environment. There was even an unplanned <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/search/label/BENT" target="_blank">BENT</a> reunion who played through a catalogue of some of their greatest hits. <br />

A surprisingly effective solution to any venue woes is to hire a rehearsal room for a couple of hours, charge $5 at the door and cram everyone in there. Get on board the brrrrrrrrrrrr* Bowen Hills train cause we're going to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/viastudios/" target="_blank">Via Studios</a>. A couple of weeks ago I <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/2018/04/brick-brick-goon-sax-bloody-hell-soot.html" target="_blank">posted</a> about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JegeFNLfD8o" target="_blank">Soot</a> but the footage was really dark and like most of the stuff on this blog, basically unwatchable. Not this time damnit, the lights stayed on and Soot were awesome.<br />

A free Saturday night show at the quite popular Netherworld Arcade Bar (formerly <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/search/label/THE%20STEP%20INN" target="_blank">The Step Inn</a> and <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/search/label/THE%20UNDERDOG" target="_blank">The Underdog</a>). This was an <a href="https://timandtheboys.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">album</a> launch for Sydney's Tim & The Boys with Brick Brick and Binlicker supporting. The venue was packed to capacity which made navigating around a bit of a mission and it was also practically impossible to get a turn at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo56w08dI4Q" target="_blank">Daytona</a>. The complimentary <a href="https://www.netherworldarcade.com/food/" target="_blank">food</a> and drinks were excellent however and generally it was pretty darn fun.<br />

Another fine example of new Brisbane music, Binlicker were great. Half the band gimped it up and Shan dressed as his favourite Street Fighter character.<br />

Real nice set from <a href="https://chaptermusic.bandcamp.com/album/up-to-anything" target="_blank">The Goon Sax</a>. While putting this blog post together I discovered they have their own darn Wikipedia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goon_Sax" target="_blank">page</a>. I tried to make one for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen" target="_blank">Kitchen's Floor</a> awhile back and it got rejected because they said we weren't important enough or something so uh, well done Goon Sax.<br />
<br />
<br />

New band up from Melbz, <b><i>Bloody Hell</i></b> features Michael of <a href="https://evernever-records.bandcamp.com/album/emotion-is-cringey" target="_blank">Centre Negative</a> fame and Joel of <a href="https://homelessrecords.bandcamp.com/album/attention-spent" target="_blank">Men With Chips</a>/<a href="https://dedicationloop.bandcamp.com/album/body-horror-odd-filth-ep" target="_blank">Body Horror</a> fame. Brisbane's own <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/search/label/GLEN%20SCHENAU" target="_blank">Glen Schenau</a> filled in on bass duties at the last minute. He learnt all their <a href="https://spiknspan.bandcamp.com/album/my-boss-ross" target="_blank">songs</a> while on the train to the show.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>

<br />

The night before was a show at <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/search/label/RIC%27S" target="_blank">Ric's</a> with Pious Faults/Dez Thretz/Eyes Ninety/Centre Negative & Collapsicon. Centre Negative from the mystical land of <a href="https://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/search/label/CENTRE%20NEGATIVE" target="_blank">New Zealand</a> played a great set, I spotted a few general randoms who wandered in looking a bit confused and annoyed by it all which was a laugh. The crowd still demanded an encore though, and this footage is of that which is also a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R1aXd1KayU" target="_blank">Chris Knox</a> cover. If only there were more shows at Ric's like this instead of the generic suburban rock stuff they've mostly been peddling the last few years. Get back on the radar Ric's, like ya used to be.<br />

The last surviving vestiges of an interesting local RnR community decide to get outta the cringe-fuck heckhole that is Brisbane and drive the western highway to the desolate hellhole that is Ipswich. This show was an experiment to see if Ipswich can mentally handle anything more than hardcore and the answer is no they can't but it was fun anyway. The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheCoroHotel" target="_blank">Coronation Hotel</a> in West Ipswich is a fine establishment with reasonable drink prices and a classic no bullshit wake in fright pub vibe that I can't speak more highly of. </div>

<a href="https://cannonbrisbane.bandcamp.com/album/cannon" target="_blank">Cannon</a> is THE band that keeps the party alive in Brisbane.

<b><i>Bent</i></b>'s last state show before heading south on tour. Good luck <a href="https://bentbent.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bent</a>! The week before I drunkenly took home this really nice green corduroy hat from Heidi's kitchen table and I was wearing it all week round town feeling fuckin' awesome but I felt guilty because it wasn't my hat and finally the guilt became too much so I couldn't wear the hat anymore so I returned the hat at this show and it wasn't even Heidi's hat it was Pam's hat. Don't let me near hats or alcohol or rock shows or humans anymore. If you read all of that instead of watching the video you're either more lost than I am or you are Pam finally learning where your hat went for a week. BENT best Brisbane band 2016.</div>

If any of our silly big city Brisbane rock bands are gonna hit a <i>chord</i> with the people of Ipswich it's gonna be <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cleverbrisbane/" target="_blank">CLEVER</a> right? fkn right, and I reckon they hit that <i>chord</i> wholeheartedly. Most of what's happening in Brisbane sucks at the moment. I hold a boring theory that with every medium-large city like Brisbane the quality and integrity of bands will always go up and down over time but lately I gotta say Brisbane has been lame <a href="https://www.bigsound.org.au/" target="_blank">lame</a> fucking lame. That sentiment excludes the bands/people I'll support to the death - I hope you know who you are otherwise ask me to find out but really if you have to ask I probably think you are mediocre and only adding to the mediocrity of this town. Clever is fighting the good fight and fighting it with integrity, passion, and wasted abandon and it is awesome to witness as just another drunken idiot in the crowd. As a whole though the war is lost when it comes to this music of minds shit and I feel Clever know it too. Prove me wrong kids. Create something new and great above the cute tropical nightmare university rich kid pop that pollutes the front pages of this place I dare you.</div>

While on tour with Kitchen's Floor recently I had the opportunity to play with and film some amazing New Zealand bands. Here is some of the footage. The majority of our shows were with Auckland's <a href="https://girlspissingongirlspissing.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Girls Pissing On Girls Pissing</a> who I would vouch for as the greatest band in the world right now. Watching them live every night was like taking part in an apocalyptic death cult ceremony, and I was binge drinking that kool aid son. This video is the final song from their set at Auckland's Wine Cellar on August 13. An as yet unreleased 15 minute journey titled <i>The Icon Of Sin</i>.</div>

Opening that same show was Auckland's <a href="https://centrenegative.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Centre Negative</a>, solo project of resident doer Michael McClelland. Michael was also our tour manager so it was great to finally see his own band after the guilt of knowing he probably died a little inside from having to watch Kitchen's Floor every night for 2 weeks straight. His band on the night consisted of friends <a href="http://kraus.co.nz/" target="_blank">Pat Kraus</a> on guitar, Wilkie Thornton on keys, Perry Mahoney on bass, and our very own Glen Schenau on drums. The song is <i>The Bureaucrats Are Dying Off</i> from 2015 album <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJHX_GhMris" target="_blank">Emotion Is Cringey</a>.</div>

The Sunday previous (August 7) we played a house show in Oamaru, a small southern coastal town on the south island. Oamaru is known for its creepy abandoned hospital, Janet Frame's house, docile-but-deadly sea lions, and world steam punk HQ. It was organised by <a href="https://thetrendees.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">The Trendees</a>, Oamaru locals who I would declare the ultimate definition of outsider punk. No venue in Oamaru will let The Trendees play so this was a big deal for all involved. The show was held in a small lounge room to an intimate crowd of what was mostly extended family and friends of the band, and us touring degenerates. It was one of the most uniquely awesome shows I've ever witnessed. This track is <i>Powerwaves</i> from their EP <a href="https://thetrendees.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-sonic-art" target="_blank">We Are Sonic Art</a>.</div>

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Elli And Bev </i>are Natalie K (<i><b>Secret Valley, The Enclosures</b></i>) and Karl von B (<b><i>Hammering The Cramps, A Band Called Life</i></b>). 2 piece loner electronic minimalism with a dark heaviness in their delivery even when they're a little unsure of themselves. The <a href="http://albertsbasement.bandcamp.com/album/might-not-look-like-it-to-you" target="_blank">EP</a> that <b><i>Albert's Basement</i></b> put out last year is a damn fine and underrated release.</div>

Besides a nice variety of bands this show stands out for being one of the last held at <i>The Underdog</i> (formerly <a href="http://eternalsoundcheck.blogspot.com.au/search/label/THE%20STEP%20INN" style="color: #999999; font-style: italic;" target="_blank">The Step Inn</a><span style="color: #999999; font-style: italic;"> </span>, formerly<i> The Shamrock</i>) and will probably be the last time I go there until it opens up again under a new name in 3 years time. It was also the last Brisbane performance by <b><i>Workshop</i></b> for quite awhile. It was also my birthday but you don't give a shit about that. The sound quality on these videos isn't great due to my close proximity to the PA but they're still almost listenable.</div>

It's been 3 years since my last post on this blog and the Brisbane music landscape has changed considerably. New bands, new venues and new weird lookin' young people, but the ol' DIY fundamentals are still kicking around in this strange future called 2015. Case in point was this Sunday afternoon house show in Petrie Tce. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">BENT</span></b><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z19Ku3IntnU" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
Bent are a band that really found their footing in 2014 with the release of debut full length <a href="https://virtualcool.bandcamp.com/album/non-soon" target="_blank">Non Soon</a> on Virtual Cool late last year. This song is called Squares and Spheres and I think it might be a new one. I liked it.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">100%</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b_KEixRbBX8" width="400"></iframe><br />
<br />
This was 100%'s second ever show, after releasing an excellent <a href="https://onehundredpercentau.bandcamp.com/releases" target="_blank">4 track demo</a> in December. This song is called Sour and is not on the demo so I'm guessing it is new. It has been a joy to watch new bands like 100% along with other electronic synth influenced bands like <a href="https://nopatiencerecords.bandcamp.com/album/persuasion-12" target="_blank">Multiple Man</a> and <a href="https://tenthcourt.bandcamp.com/album/luxury-ep" target="_blank">Workshop</a> come to the forefront of Brisbane music in-between blog posts.<b><br /></b>

<br />
<br />This is a rough video collection of Meat Thump performances. The band was solely the work of Brendon but as you can see from the constantly changing line up, he had the support of many friends around him who helped to flesh MT out into a full band. These shows were all played to an audience of 20 people or less and, although Meat Thump did make it down to Sydney and Melbourne during it's brief slog, these are all from Brisbane.

We laughed at all the stupid shit that happened but Brendon told me that White Cop was the best 6 months of his life. It was his idea of freedom I guess. The band consisted of Brendon on guitar, Bill on vox, Noob on bass and myself on drums. I don't think we played more than 5 shows but we managed to record a 4 song cassette in December 2009. We also (strangely enough) made a music video. <br /><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uUWWRppQmgs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />The video was mostly shot around a vacant lot in Woolloongabba, across the road from The Gabba stadium. January 2010 I think. Afterwards we walked to the Red Brick Hotel and filmed some other stuff (Bill ordering a beer, Brendon playing Keno) before getting kicked out so we walked down the road to the Clarence Corner and shot the bit where Noob takes a piss. It was filmed by <a href="http://www.blanketcanvassing.blogspot.com.au/">Glen Schenau</a> and then edited together by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/cxpxrx">Andrew McLellan</a>. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Clubhouse - November 12, 2009</span><br /><br />This is probably the best live footage of White Cop you're going to get (There isn't much). It was an awful venue in Fortitude Valley which I think we were banned from afterwards. The show was insane and awesome with Bill offending everybody in the room then breaking the microphone within the first few minutes. Things just kind of went in a natural direction from there.<br /><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KLtkAVGQDXI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qiNCGacqDYk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nvhX8f2jVRg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />The cassette will be re-released soon on a one sided 12" through Leather Bar Records.

The following is an article written by my landlord Frank about growing up in Brisbane during the 1980s. It's a uniquely personal look into the era and a worthwhile read if you have an interest in the history of Brisbane music.</span> <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Part 1</span><br /><br />A view of the past …..Brisbane independent music in the 80s<br /><br />At the risk of sounding like an old fart I’d like to say something perfectly stereotypical, and that is, “I don’t feel like an old fart”. Sure I have a wife, kids and a mortgage. Sure I don’t get pissed as much anymore, or see as many bands as I did, but I still don’t feel that old. And believe me this is not a novel position.<br /><br />By way of example:<br /><br />It was 1986 and I was in my late teens and I saw The Flamin Groovies, who started in the 60s, live at the Love Inn in Ann Street, the Valley. They were supported by the then, “next big thing” from Brisbane, The Headstones, who had their own large following, and who co-incidentally had been a few years above me at high school. The venue was notoriously small and accordingly packed. I was forced into a corner and started talking to two “old” guys. They were a hoot as they told me about the 60s in Brisbane and seeing the Beatles and the Kinks and all that and I was standing there in awe and I said something like “wow, it’s great that you old guys get out”. One of them laughed and said “steady on, we aren’t that old, and don’t feel old”. They were in their early 40s, the same age as I am now. I now know what they meant, felt. Time is subjective. As Orson Welles once warbled on an ill advised 45 …. “I Know What It Is To Be Young (But You Don't Know What It Is To Be Old)”. That night both bands put on great shows. The Groovies on stage that night are still one of the best live gigs I have seen, and the “young crowd” loved them and the old crowd loved “The Headstones”. Everyone was in sync and age had no bearing on anything.<br /><br />Music, I believe, to anyone who is genuinely interested in it is not so much about what is new. Sure, in rock and pop there is an overabundance of emphasis on the “here and now” but I suspect that largely this has to do with record companies forever having to create new music to sell to people who are too lazy to find music for themselves. After all, unless you are Elvis, The Beatles or a couple of others where is the money in back catalogue sales?<br /><br />I believe though that non mainstream music is the most fertile ground for music and for future musicians. Within that arena both “old” music and “new music” including new emerging sounds all co-exist with each other on a more or less equal footing. It is that accessibility to all music which, hopefully, gives the music listener, satisfaction and gives the musician, original inspiration.<br /><br />Music should transcend time, all the time. Again, the labels don’t want that but that is exactly what jazz and classical music enthusiasts do. You don’t see the Deutsche Grammophon classical label trying to find the next great composer. Sure, they put out new works but they are also forever repackaging Beethoven conducted by Karajan, because that was one of the high water marks in that music. It’s the same with jazz in that you can get as much Miles Davis and John Coltrane back catalogue as you can contemporary jazz. Rock and pop however have been poorly done by despite quite a few enthusiast independent labels (Norton, Sundazed, Bear).<br /><br />I say here what I have always maintained and that is that I listen to new music all the time though some of that new music was recorded before I was born. If I find a 45 from 1957 by some little known singer from Tennessee banging loudly on his guitar and which I haven’t heard before, that’s still new music to me, isn’t it? If that music satisfies me or inspires me to pick up a guitar does it matter that it’s 50 years old?<br /><br />“New” doesn’t have to be something on the charts now or even something “forward thinking”. After all if rock history shows anything it is that every time there is a “revolution” in rock music, the sounds that are being referenced are always variations on the basics set down by Elvis and others in the 50s. It is about stripping back and going back to the roots or the essentials …<br /><br />Similarly, if you are looking for new music you cannot avoid live music. Going to a dance bar where there is a DJ is never going to be enough, no matter how hip the DJ is. That may be a good start but sooner or later you will have to see live music. It may not be “new” or great always but it does open your mind and expose you to music that you may not have come across before. I’m not talking about seeing Pearl Jam at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre here, because there is nothing to be learnt there but I am talking about seeing local bands, interstate acts and small to midsize overseas acts. You will be exposed to music and it will be delivered to you like a punch to the forehead – it will be loud and personal as you would expect from a sweaty, “intimate” Brisbane venue.<br /><br />Back in the 80s, which were my after school and University years I spent a lot of time seeing bands, discovering new music, listening to music and hanging out with like minded individuals. Roughly, 1983 – 1993, were my most intensive band going years but I never ceased liking or discovering the music that I loved. Unlike my peers I never had a great desire to join a band but also unlike some of my peers I was enthusiastic about the music itself rather than some of the benefits it delivers.<br /><br />The 70s may have been my formative years as a kid, but the 80s expanded my tastes and established my attitude and world view. Do not get me wrong, I am not defending this era as I’m of the view that nothing good came out of mainstream pop/rock music in the 80s (OK, I generalise). The 80s to me though had the best indie/alternative/underground scene of any era (another generalisation).<br /><br />Maybe it was because the 80s was that time when the mainstream and underground collided in an organic way without the benefit of the internet or digital downloads and because people listened to music in a different way, a way which was to be replaced by something more immediate.<br /><br />I do not begrudge technology …for an anal OCD type like me it makes storing, cataloguing, and listening to music easier but the discovery of music should perhaps always be organic …. through friends, zines, books, op shop finds or live music. Sure technology can supply just the same information, and quicker, but perhaps it supplies to much information, so you don’t know where to direct your atttention and you not surprisingly are overwhelmed and give up.<br /><br />I remember in the 80s thinking there were some records I would never get to hear because they were so obscure. Well now, via ebay, on-line shopping, file sharing I have all that “old’ music. Unless people are lemmings or just not that interested I do not understand why there hasn’t been more people searching the past. The reality is some of the kids have become enamoured with that same music but despite the universal accessibility to that music the percentage of people getting turned on to that music is about the same as it was in the 80s.<br /><br />I think there are a number of reasons for this which will become apparent … but I have digressed.<br /><br />This article came about because I was asked by a 20 something year old to write something and the original question had something to do with what was it like in Brisbane in the 80s and the “punk” scene. I wrote what follows then added all of the above as a sort of introduction …….<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Part 2</span><br /><br />At the outset I should say that the definition of "punk" has probably changed over the years and maybe it isn’t what I call punk or what you guys call punk. Punk in the 80s at various times was California hardcore (Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, Germs, Black Flag etc), East Coast or elsewhere (Fugazi, Husker Du etc) or English ( Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, The Damned, Sham 69, Subhumans etc). <br /> <br />I never would have ever referred to myself as a punk and the punks of the time certainly would not have referred to me as the same.....I only ever had a high quiff or long hair which were not part of the “punk” uniform then and all the indie musical genres had a identifiable “uniform” that distinguished you from the mainstream. Accordingly, to be a "punk" in the early 80s you normally dressed strictly according to the English definition - high spiked hair, safety pins, torn clothes etc. By the mid 80s the more casual, less regimented dress of California hardcore and New York punk meant you didn’t have to try that hard to fit in. But, “fitting in” wasn’t a big deal since the “scene” was pretty much open to anyone who wanted to listen, or see, non mainstream acts. I saw a lot of international punk acts.....The Dead Kennedys, The Damned, The Cramps, The Stranglers, The Saints, Iggy Pop, The Ramones (who were not always referred to as punk at the time from what I recall) and I listened to a lot of California hardcore. A little later in the early to mid 90s I saw Rollins, Fugazi, Jesus Lizard and Shellac (are they punk?) as well as Sonic Youth, Pavement, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr, Mudhoney and others who blur the lines. There was never a large problem if you did not have the full uniform and anyway my tastes were not exclusively punk.<br /><br />Generally, the scene was quite small (probably no more than 1000 people at any given time), and clubs (inevitably live venues) would play host to all sorts of different people into a wide variety of non mainstream music coming together. On any given night, depending on the year, if was not unusual to see rockabillies, goths, punks, mods, swampies, rude boys, Detroit rockers and everything in between all converging on the same place. <br /><br />Because the scene was small there was also a slight “us and them” mentality and that was reasonable in the circumstances. Brisbane in the 80s was light years away from what it is now. The stereotype of the big country town was, in part true, and in some ways endearing. But there was another side, a dark side, where even slight deviations away from the norm were not tolerated. Indie dress codes, styles and haircuts which nowadays would not even raise an eyebrow in the most puritan person where then the subject of abuse, ridicule, laughter and the occasional thumping. And that is both from the public (mainly) and the police (more than occasionally). Maybe, even that moderate attire was too much of a shock to the status quo. I will let the cultural anthropologists do more research on the same if they are interested.<br /> <br />Also and again, because the scene was small, there were only a limited amount of bands playing. You were lucky if there was 100 indie bands at any given time, probably closer to 50. A lot maybe, but not in a town of 1.5 million. Venues (and even then there never seemed to be enough around) normally would try to get bands with similar sounds together on the same bill but generally you had bands of all the indie genres lumped together. Local proper punk acts like Crucified Truth, La Fettes, The Cursed, Death of a Nun, Post No Bills, Mutant Shitbags, Insurrection all ended up on bills with other "indie" bands who weren’t necessarily “punk” like Hotel Breslin, Dirt and the Rebels, The Five Hanks, Rubber Bug, The Girlies, Who’s Gerald, Aloha Pussycats, The Convertibles or Dementia 13. So, you may have had quite a schizophrenic night, but you were also exposed to other forms of music. <br /><br />Likewise there was a cross-pollination of styles as well as blurred genre lines. My peers and I acknowledged that The Stooges, MC5, Radio Birdman etc were proto punks but they were generally referred to as "Detroit" which is what I was into. I was also into retro old school rock, rockabilly, 60s garage, California hardcore, new wave, power pop, swamp (silly name), early grunge (silly name again) and a couple of things which I was right into, which sounded cool then but now maybe sound stupid, namely, "cowpunk" and "the paisley underground". Both were largely California musical movements. Cowpunk was mainly ex California punks who started to mix punk with country and / or rockabilly. (stuff like Rank and File ( ex Dils and Nuns), The Blasters, The Knitters (post X), True West, Mojo Nixon, Green on Red) whilst "The Paisley Underground" were Californian bands playing 60s US psychedelia, electric folk etc (The Long Ryders, The Three O Clock). I was also into what at the time didn't have a separate name but what came to be known as punk blues ( The Gun Club etc). These last 3 "genres" all blurred the line with each other though (eg: The Flesheaters, Divine Horsemen, X, Wall of Voodoo). <br /><br />It sounds like I was into a lot of things but I really wasn’t. Most of those styles and genres are inter-related. At around the same time you had all sorts of other music sub genres active in the indie/alternative scene: 60s mod, new wave, goth, synth, ska, oi, electric blues, retro hippie psychedelica, art rock, pop, English soul, folk, jingle jangle and even a bit of poodle metal. <br /><br />The only thing I’m certain of is that I was into music that was American (or Australian) and not all of it. With a few exceptions I have never cared for English music. Still don't.<br /><br />It's easy for me to now rattle off the "genres" I was into but at the time you didn't make as many distinctions or even know the name of the genre or sub genre generally. None of the genres above were called "punk" at the time, I don’t think, but I suppose a lot were "punk" or quasi punk. I don't recollect what I “called” myself at the time but I do recall that if anyone asked I would just say I was into "alternative music" or occasionally I would say "indie music" ….I think. I use “indie” in this article as “independent” as it seems to cover all the various non-mainstream genres.<br /> <br />I’ve referred to a number of overseas bands in an article supposedly devoted to Brisbane in the 80s. Like it or not this is unavoidable as most of the Brisbane bands from the 80s directly mirrored what was happening in the USA or in England. That’s not to say there weren’t any number of bands putting their own Australian twist on the music but ultimately they were twists on trends happening overseas.<br /><br />And, discovering what was happening overseas, as I referred to earlier, was not necessarily an easy process, but one that involved some effort. <br /> <br />In the days before the internet you learnt about music from magazines or friends. You would read a zine and if a band you liked referred to another band or gave credit to their inspirations you would go out and buy that. This was risky business because you were buying a lot of things without having heard them. LPs I think cost about $10 and I was working at Woolworths (whilst I was at Uni) as a Thursday/Saturday casual earning $25. So, accordingly you had to put a lot of faith in the zine you were reading (Forced Exposure, Maximum Rock n Roll, Bucketful of Brains, Kicks and Byron Coley's column in Spin being my favourites), the label the record was on (I still buy anything old I find on IRS, Slash or SST ...or in Australia- Waterfront, Citadel, Red Eye) or your friends (though some of them with hindsight had quite mediocre taste).<br /> <br />There was 4ZZZ public radio but in about 1986 they had a cultural shift and refused to play most of the music I was into. For instance they banned the Hard Ons and The Johnnys. Haven't listened to them since .....<br /><br />Also, this was in the days before JJJ – some people have said, and I would not disagree that the potency of musical categories were diluted when 2JJJ went national. Perhaps, that was the worst thing for local music because it only predated the internet by 5 or so years, but it did change, perhaps negatively, "the local scene".<br /> <br />Also there was the street press (Rave and Time Off) which were handy and at the time champions of local music even though they concentrated largely on acts touring and not on back catalogue or on the sounds that inspired the emerging music.<br /><br />Live music was certainly a way of getting exposure to the new. And some of the musicians were old dudes in their mid 20s! The trouble was that their access to older and newer music had the same limitations we had. And of course, then as now, there never seemed to be enough venues for all the bands to play. Accordingly there were many DIY back yard gigs, some where hundreds of people attended. <br /> <br />The op shops were a treasure chest if you were looking for old back catalogue, which I was. There were records from the 50s and 60s in abundance from all sorts of “exotic” acts which I had never heard of but then subsequently found out the bands were well known ….. The Youngbloods, The Hombres, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Grin and a hundred others were op shop finds. Amongst my group of friends (largely) and the scene generally there was no distinguishing music by its age. So, a op shop find of a band from the 60s, if good, was going to get as many spins as something recent.<br /> <br />Basically you were looking for anything that was different and wasn't in the mainstream ...it doesn't matter if that band had been in the top 10 in 1965 because they weren't in the mainstream in 1985. <br /><br />A friend of mine maintains that it was also a time when songs were listened to the whole way through. Albums even. Many a hidden gem was found because "the record kept spinning" or "the tape kept playing", instead of the ADD approach today of lining up the "hits" on mp3. Simply, it wasn't like now, an mp3 curiosity, it was an investment of time and thought. I can’t disagree with that though I will say there still seems to be that small percentage of people who do take the time to search out and listen.<br /><br />The 80s were a great time to kick against the (mainstream) pricks. That spirit is alive today every time someone buys a record from an op shop, puts on music which is 20 or 40 years old, joins a band that plays something left of centre, puts on a show in their backyard, or otherwise releases a record, CD or tape of music which has “limited commercial appeal”.<br /><br />I’m not really sure if I have discussed punk or even music in the 80s in Brisbane but I have tried to give you some insight to what I think was the mindset at the time.<br /><br />Cheers<br />Franko<br /><br /><a href="http://franklycollectible.com/">http://franklycollectible.com/</a>Matt Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07981270474857145868noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051264840130973514.post-22987038368704763942011-10-13T12:37:00.007+10:002011-10-13T13:28:22.147+10:00RAW PRAWN - SOUND SUMMIT 1/10/2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OsSdnTkVMOU/TpZRAuNXHPI/AAAAAAAAAO0/i1kQEU-GKq0/s1600/DSCF1251.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OsSdnTkVMOU/TpZRAuNXHPI/AAAAAAAAAO0/i1kQEU-GKq0/s400/DSCF1251.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662802654310898930" /></a><br /><br />Raw Prawn are a great new band hailing from Sydney. Consists of members from Holy Balm, Whores, Circle Pit etc. This was the last song of their set at the Croatian Club in Newcastle for Sound Summit 2011. Some of the best stuff I've heard all year. <br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5L78Qi0cHDE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Matt Kennedyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07981270474857145868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051264840130973514.post-86371262872915825272011-05-31T21:37:00.006+10:002011-06-01T23:25:00.812+10:00BlahIt's been dead quiet around here the last 2 months. I guess I've been on a break or I'm just lazy or poor or something. Here's some recent music videos from some of the best bands Australia has to offer right now (in my fucked opinion). All are worth my time and maybe yours too. <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">NAKED ON THE VAGUE - Clock of 12's</span><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pLkf_yUc4oI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />From "Twelve Dark Noons" EP on <a href="http://www.sacredbonesrecords.com/">Sacred Bones Records</a>.<br />Directed by <a href="http://aprimitivefuture.com/">Jacqueline Castel</a>.<br />Shot by Jacqueline Castel, Caleb Braaten, & Matthew Hopkins.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">WOOLLEN KITS - Maths</span><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eYWEe8yd40I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Official video for the A-side of the upcoming <a href="ripsocietyrecords.tumblr.com/">RIP Society</a> 7", Maths/Out Of Town.

It was originally shown in Brisbane in September last year, followed by Melbourne and Sydney screenings in January, and in New Zealand at Camp A Low Hum in February. Now you can watch it on your laptop while drunk in bed. I've divided it up into 7 parts.
