JeanetteвЂ™s in Italy now, and I think StephenвЂ™s in Japan. Richard had a tapeloop-heavy project called Wank Engine and did a curious radio show on 4zzz in the 90s called Winky Wanky Woo. Rodney was the drummer in the Sump when Jeffrey Wegener or a drum machine wasnвЂ™t or weren't keeping a beat.

The now surnamed line-up from their debut album is:Дeborah played in the Sump, the Fair Muses and Dragster (to quickly name three) вЂ“ sheвЂ™s currently in the Golden Circles. As the notes in the 7вЂќ sleeve suggest, they were recorded live. Some of their songs were played by Dragster after the band and beforehand by Tangled Shoelaces. The story of Tangled Shoelaces and the rest of what I call the Class of 1982 is to be continued for the readers of SSS. Members of the band were formerly of Tangled Shoelaces, Gobble Gobble and Clag to name three. They appeared on all three SPILL label compilations (1 on cassette, and 2 and 3 on CD) as well as the 1986 4ZZZ compilation LP вЂState of EmergenceвЂ™. They also self-released a CD in 1994 called вЂCosmological ClockвЂ™. In nine or so years they chalked up the following releases: the cassettes вЂWondrous FairвЂ™ (C60), вЂTidy TownвЂ™ (C90) and вЂ Live All Over the ShopвЂ™ (C60). Д«risbaneвЂ™s Wondrous Fair began around 1986 and had lasted up until 1995. Harold and Maude is the opening track from disc 2 of 4ZZZ's 25th anniversary CD, Behind the Banana Curtain. The band's original singer Anne Dellar was in Die Neuen. No one went on to do anything else, except Michelle Bowden who played in another all-girl band in the early 90s - Gravelrash. It was produced by Ian Wadley who was at that time playing in the Holy Ghosts and Small World Experience and who by this time was already a veteran in Brisbane indie music terms.Дrummer Sue Holman also played in Cut, a band featuring guitarist Eugene Carchesio of the Holy Ghosts and Steven Grainger of Closest Thing (a trio with Eugene).

This came out sometime in early 1989 or maybe even late 1988, almost three years after they formed. A little less post-punk, but making up for it with a lot more twee.Д«atswing Saloon were probably (okay, certainly) the first all-girl Brisbane band to put out a single, though Zero undoubtedly hold the mantle of being the first all-girl post-punk band at some early point. Sydney might've had Matrimony, but Brisbane had Batswing Saloon. So among the piles of terrible releases (and let's face it folks, there were a lot of them!), here's a good one, and Batswing Saloon's sole release Harold and Maude/Split Level World displays the treble-laden Brisbane of the 1980s at its primitive best. Note how I didn't include any 4IP or FM 104 compilation LPs a paragraph or so back. Yes, there was Bent Records who released bands like the Lemon Fabs on wax but I'm speaking of quality independent music here. So when you look at singles released between 19 and speaking of bands outside of the punk-stroke-hardcore realm, there's only a handful of truly listenable titles that came out locally. There were more than two, but less than three dozen or so independently-released 45s between 19 and then the momentum suddenly went pffft!!! Some dove in and did 12' EPs (Ironing Music spring to mind) but when you look at a discography of Brisbane independent music from 1978 to 1990, there wasn't a lot of vinyl commitment going on and reasonably-priced CD pressing was still a way's away. Small runs for an audience and one for 4ZZZ's music library.ДЄnd so a awful lot of boring bands dominated Brisbane music during the mid to late 1980s and many of them released 45s to remind us of how dire it all was. The iconic 4zzz compilation LP State of Emergence appeared four years later and the He Dark Age album, The Dog's Breakfast was four years after that! What you have in the middle of that are cassette albums. I'm speaking about the ones who stayed here, stuck it out (as in the fact they didn't move to Sydney) and did the odd tour of the southern capitals. You have to remember that in the post-punk landscape of Brisbane that aside from Xero, no one put out a 12' record Go-Betweens and Saints not included in this argument. Those who stuck around made some brilliant cassettes and fewer made (cassette) albums. Clusters of bands featuring musicians from the early 80s and before soldiered on, or left defeated by the mid part of the decade. Brisbane in the late 80s in a musical sense didn't have a terrible lot going for it.
