Orchestra Of Skin & Bone - Self Titled

More of the same from Ollie Olson & Co.  More listenable - perhaps.  Either way, it's a shame the output of No & OOSAB has not been collected and re-issued.

Interstellar Villains - Collected

After the Scientists, Tony Thewlis formed the Interstellar Villains, going off in a musical direction much more rooted in '60s rock, psychedelia and surf music.  This is the sum total of all their recordings.  The first release was a single 'Like Flies on Sherbet', closely followed by the mini LP 'Right Out Of The Lobster Quadrille'.  After the LP 'RevLover' in 1980, Tony teamed up with Diggory Kenrick and Robert Coyne to form Venus Ray.  Unfortunately, I do not have anything by this band.  There's another thing to chase down.  Not a bad thing!

The Effigies - Haunted Town EP

Crunch.  Bang.  Zowee.  This EP kicks butt - and then some.  Based in Chicago, the Effigies put out a number of releases but this (their first) is the one that really counts.  Saw them live one night with the memorable moments being in the 'mosh pit' and the fact that the band members were so intrigued with my knowledge of Aussie punk.  They all rated the Scientists, Radio Birdman and The Saints!  That makes sense.

The Frowning Clouds - Listen Closlier

One of my favourite albums from the past few years.  Bring back the sixties!  This band hails from Geelong (Australia) and have considerable output since this, their first album.  Both covers included here.  You REALLY will like this and probably venture forth to get all their singles/albums.  Don't fight the urge.

Electric Frankenstein - The Time Is Now

Can't resist posting an album (any album) by Electric Frankenstein.  They're just so darn solid.  Garage band heaven.  Everything to like.  I won't hear a bad word uttered by anyone about these guys.  First album (contains their first EP) - just go with the flow.  Don't get me started on all their album covers.  Gold.

Bring Philip - Endoscopy (Mini LP)

Hard to describe this form of music - probably a bit wired and somewhat wasted.  Disjointed.  Jagged.  Obscure.  Experimental.  Funk-punk.  Uhmmm ... I dunno.

Strutter - Motherfuckers From The Bowels Of Hell

Nice cover huh?  Strutter were a highly regarded raw rawk n' roll band in Brisbane during the 90's.  Dick Richards supplied the lungs and also worked in Rocking Horse Records - the mainstay alternative music shop in Brissy.  This album punches in all the right places and is totally wired and wasted.
