Robert Trimbole's Hat - Suntan 7''

Very obscure 7'' from Oz. Released in 1987, there is very little information I can tell you about this band. Extremely secretive. One thing I know is that they were previously called Brain Spasms and hailed from Maryborough (the Victorian town, not Queensland). They named themselves after a notorious (alleged) criminal supposedly involved in the murder of Donald Mackay (anti-drugs campaigner). Trimbole wore distinctive hats as you can see from the included images.

All the best if ever you can find a copy of this - my call is 'impossible'. Have a listen. It sounds great.

    Hi MrW&W,
    Just letting you know that your documenting of seminal and obscure Australian bands has been fantastic and I've lurked your blog for a while. That you posted the Minuteman single blew me away. Please continue your blog. These bands need to be remembered. If I can help with sourcing any material, just let me know.
