    Never even knew there was a track zero on the Yeast cd!
    Wonder if it is on yootoob?
    Found Yeast for $1 in a record store bin back in '96 in america
    Was stoked!!

      Yeah I have a feeling there are other track zeros on albums I own that I can't remember. I just searched and couldn't find it. It's about 6.13 or so long and is a dance remix (of course)

    I first heard them years ago in the 1990's, on a monthly New Zealand radio programme about Death Metal, we lived in a remote location so it was very difficult to keep up with the underground music scene at the time. I used to record the programme on cassette tape, and so the first song I ever heard from Blood Duster was 'Vulgar Taste of Rotten C**t', but I could never work out what sample they used at the beginning of the song was. Hopefully someone reading this will have a bit more knowledge on that one. I did get to see them when I moved up to Auckland in the late 2010's, there weren't a lot of people at the gig, but I knew it was one of those bands that was going to have plenty of output, so I went along and had a good time. Cheers for the rock history doc.

    • @mendicantmedia
      @mendicantmedia  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching! The Vulgar Taste sample is from probably the greatest NZ movie ever - Braindead! It's from the uncut version of the movie which isn't easy to source and is from the scene in the graveyard where poor Nigel gets hassled by some thugs and the priest saves him in truely awesome fashion

    • @djwt20
      @djwt20 Рік тому

      Thanks very much Geoff, that was my bad, I should have realized by the NZ accents. I was actually under the illusory impression that it was from some Australian source, but for some reason I just couldn't place it. I watch a lot of movies too, anyway thanks for your help, I'll make sure I check that film out - lesson learnt.🎥👍

    Blood Duster was difficult to find in the States back in 2003 , I managed to find a CD copies of C### in a used section at an extinct chain called Media Play, and a copy of Yeest at a college radio station selling off all their CDs. Internet made things easier, but I kept C### in my car five CD changer for months, I dont play albums to death like that anymore.

    • @mendicantmedia
      @mendicantmedia  Рік тому

      yeah it certainly helps being in Australia and I'm glad I saw them live so many times but I can't imagine how many more gigs I would have gone to if I lived in the States!!

    UA-cam algorithm is hammering me with your videos, but that’s a good thing hehe.
    FYI I think some copies of SixSixSixteen single had a ‘reversible’ sleeve. Have you opened yours up to check inside? You may have the “rude” version and not even know it! ;)
    Also, you forgot to mention the horrendous track minus-one on the S/T 😅
    I have almost all of the items you have, except the one thing I missed is the Fisting/Yeest LP, which I had more than one opportunity to buy at their gigs, so I am absolutely kicking myself.

    • @mendicantmedia
      @mendicantmedia  7 місяців тому

      I'll check my SixSixSixteen but pretty sure it's the tame one as I think I got it from a normal record shop - shame about the Fisting/Yeest LP as it's rare as shit - now that I think about it I think I got it at Missing Link ages ago

      @@mendicantmedia I had at least two opportunities to buy it at their shows, but I was not keen on carrying an LP around with me in a drunken state. Foolish me! I did get the C*NT white vinyl though, and they all wrote silly shit all over it in gold sharpie :)
      Jason was playing that clear bass at one of those shows, and he showed me that it still had gross piss residue in a lot of the nooks and crannies. Wild stuff 😂 Tone also came to my house and did guest vocals on Debloused in the Cumatorium by Maxi P. That was a HUGE honour. He was such a cool guy to hang out with and recording him was a breeze - I can see how he took vocal directions from Jason so easily and latched onto vocal rhythms etc. instantly.

    Great stuff mate, always loved Duster. For some reason I don't have my Dr. Jims Nortcote and Cnt anymore, need to get them back. Saw the band a dozen times myself including four M4TB I went to.
    The most memorable was the old Club 77 where the entire band played naked and from memory there was no actual stage, so everyone got an eyeful. A couple of times I remember Tony not showing up until the third song at least lol. That DFF EP had a nifty trick that, on some CD players, you could rewind before 0:00 and get a bonus track in the negatives called The Spirit Of Sore Throat Has Long Since Died.
    Oh shit I forgot that Blood Duster Reflex ad! I recorded both versions off TV and had them on my hard drive for ages, but they are long gone (the second version had the boardroom headbanging). And I was at that Haunted gig for the very same reason.
    I always felt that King Parrot's first album was a spiritual successor to Duster. Don't have anything by that band, but I love the clip fot Shit on the Liver with Rizzo and everyone dressed up like they're in Mad Max haha.

    • @mendicantmedia
      @mendicantmedia  Рік тому

      cheers mate. Haha I seem to recall Damaged had a problem with a singer not showing up much.

    I remember that gig at The Asylum. One of the best gigs that I've ever been, and it was absolutely packed. There was those two dudes in corpse-paint, which was a very rrare occurrence in Canberra. I remember he corpse-paint dudes wearing Burzum shirts, whilst their two girlfriends, who also had corpse-paint, were wearing 90's era fashion clothes, and really didn't look like they wanted to be there. 😅

    Greetings from the United States! I just discovered Blood Duster this year and I wish I heard them sooner. I also checked out lead singer Tony's other bands and they're great, too. Still impressed that the vocalist in The Day Everything Became Nothing and King are both also him - he has a lot more range than he's given credit for. You can't really go wrong with any of the band's affiliated projects, though.
