back 1990s: Oops, another water damaged pic, but it does kinda look like fireworks above Ali, Cam and Reubs. For some reason I think we were out at Artrage or something. Credit: Adam.

back 1990s: A cover photo shoot for an edition of Grok against nuclear testing, probably heavy on covering the Bosco incident circa 1994-95. Cohort Mr Lynch doing the green thing. The cover was cropped just below the eyes and an ocean put in so it was sorta like an island, like. Oh, I’ve got to … Continue reading “pics | back 1990s :: 5”

back 1990s: Water damaged, and otherwise damaged. In the Pines some year or so, with MC Genge. RTRFM archives here. What you can’t see is that I’m wearing a freakin’ kilt with that lunatic yellow shirt and the cut-off Op Shop dress underneath. And a goatee… MAKE IT STOP! Credit: someone else.

back 1990s: Oh my. Murdoch social club, circa 1991 or so. Evil drink called the Goat of Joy, or as they were called when they came in jugs, for $7, a Jug of Joy, in front of us. Four parts port, 1 part coke. I feel sick thinking about it. Grant’s head hits the table … Continue reading “pics | back 1990s :: 3”

Spiderbait; Screamfeeder; Snout; The Fauves; Verona, UWA Refectory, November 30, 1996
Energised with a huge young fan base, their energy and machismo overflowing, the upper echelons of the Australian scene finally deserve a clap. Case in point: Spiderbait nestled amongst the Xmas ‘Best Of’ pap in the charts. Truly a reason to be thankful.
The NAD Campus Band WA State Final, Planet, August 7, 1996
A dash of guitar grunt, a sprinkle of exquisite harmony, a few deft lines of lolling bass, all topped with some hit-squad homey humour … this year’s campus band competition ran the full gauntlet. And after experiencing simply a smidgin of the WA contingient, I’ll wager a barrel of pickled fish on each and all … Continue reading “The NAD Campus Band WA State Final, Planet, August 7, 1996”
