The Aampirellas - Snatching Defeat From The Jaws Of Victory

After Strutter, Evil Dick moved onto this band.  Really like this album but it's what followed that presses the buttons: The Hits.  Kapow.  Two brilliant albums that you MUST get:  'Living With You Is Killing Me' and 'Hikikomori'.  Both these albums are readily available so no download is provided.  You'll only be able to get a download of this featured album.  Not all that bad.

Dorian Gray - The Emperor's New Clothes 7''

In 1984, AuGoGo records released this little gem.  The label was a beacon in Melbourne (Australia) and released bucketloads of great alternative bands.  Dorian Gray was one of them - but they never did anything after this single.

James Baker Experience! (Oh No! It's The ...) - I Can't Control Myself! 7''

In  1985 James released this classic single.  He drummed with the Victims, Scientists, Le Hoodoo Gurus, Dubrovniks etc etc.  His style is unmistakable, timeless and a part of my life.  Pure brilliance.

The Dubrovniks - 4 Albums!

Life after the Scientists exists.  This band is essentially the Scientists minus Kim Salmon (Roddy Radalj (aka Ray'Da), Boris Sujdovic and James Baker).  That's my kind of super-band.  Every one of their albums (only 4) kicked.  Can't imagine a music collection without their stuff - consider yourself complete.

The Ears - Singles

More Aussie punk.  An album of their early stuff never eventuated so you'll have to make do with their first two singles.  They sell for silly $$ on eBay and such.  Don't bother - it's all about the music which you will (of course) find here.  The Ears (and particularly Sam Sejavka) featured on the Dogs In Space movie - an absolute classic.

Xero (Zero & Xiro) - Collected

Now, what do I remember about this band?  Well, they featured Irena Luckus, Lindy Morrison and Robert Forster (Go-Betweens) and John Willsteed (Go-Betweens and Halfway).  They supported The Cure when they played at The Festival Hall in Brisbane.  I thought they were very cool (and quirky) so I went out and got their Xiro cassettes ('Half The Profits' & 'Religious Wars') plus the 'Lust In The Dust' EP (as Xero).  Do you think you can find any of their stuff now?  No way.  No re-ish on ceedee or anything ('Lost in the Dust'!!!).  Criminal.  This will have to do then.

BTW: There is another release : 'Live At The Cement Box Theatre' - that's also included.

The Nauts - Self Titled

From the ashes of Supernaut this outfit emerged in 1978.  Inventively dropping 'Super' to come up with their band name but no one knew about it (nor cared).  That wasn't the case with their former band - everyone wanted a piece of them (especially the young teenybopper girls).  Realising they were in a musical rut the band members ventured forth with this incarnation.  It must be downright frustrating 'cos this superior release fell on deaf ears.

BTW - must also upload all the Supernaut stuff.  Remind me please teamsters!
