The Stems ~ Under Your Mushroom (Australian T.V. 1985)

Rare clip of The Stems miming on Perth television show Appealathon.. Just found this in my archives and happy to share it with you. Bad camera work as the drummer is scarcely shown. Wonderful GUILD guitar played by Dom.. I bet he wishes he still had that baby. COOL STEMS BOOK AVAILABLE: highvoltagepublishing.bigcartel.com

I was lucky enough to know Richard for 4 years. Heart of gold, do anything for anybody and was one of my best mates. You’ll never be forgotten and you can watch me on stage will all your friends playing your favourite songs you wrote. We’ll have a jam again one day mate. Rest In Peace my dear friend. Love you mate 💖👍🎸

Vale Richard Lane...

This is one of my favorite Australian bands -and it’s recorded loud on original vinyl. This song is perfectly kickass.

[@addy18hale]

thanks for posting. All time fave perth band

[@lindal654]

Thanks for sharing, love this song!! One of my favourite Oz bands and disappointing that they weren't around for long. It made my year when I discovered the remastered CD of the At First Sight album!

[@ELCHANTA66]

80's rock scene was really sad, here in Europe. I really loved these guys from Australia

[@mariozorzi6886]

Bellissima!!

[@drummerto]

addicted to the sound..so very well omg

[@jessemahsel1641]

I saw The Stems several times in Sydney in '87. Bought the LP and had lots of their EP's and singles about (including this one) due to my benevolent house mate, who also introduced me to them. Thanks big Dick!

[@toniwells6950]

becoming immediately addicted...

[@bjornem4687]

As I recall, it was wee small hours when they put the Perth bands on Appealathon. Thank God you were up to record it.

[@mattbarbarich3295]

Funny how The Stems and ( Le) Hoodoo Gurus were both Perth bands pioneering the mid 60s rock revival look and sound. Never saw either of them at the time , too busy catching Perths amazing hard rock and blues , blues/ rock bands of the time.

[@dailybackup8372]

Le Hoodoo Gurus were formed in Sydney. Yes 3 of the 4 members are from Perth but they were living in Sydney at the time.

[@mattbarbarich3295]

@@dailybackup8372 Hmm maybe not technically started in Perth but the soul and heart and commeraderie was Perth.

[@JoeLawless]

Suddenly addicted to these guys. Great tune!

[@lucydeal]

Thanks ;)

[@gerryhill3863]

Great group, great music......not recognised my the mainstream. But then again did they ever look for that type of approval? I do not think so.......

[@spdennett]

give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Give a man an axe and he'll rock all night \m/
