Being a legendary Australian pub band is a thankless job ... you deserve world wide fame and recognition and seldom get it. Aussie bands are a collective Poet Maudit and that's one of the things that makes them so great.
that was a really great show,so lucky to be part of a rare performance,i love the way their music melts the years away and when you try to lift your head and feet to dance ,you realise how long it has been that they have been stuck to the floor.the annandale really should do something about its carpet.
@FugalQuease Those bands also visited Australia in the early 80's. May be they got it from the Oz scene, as 'swampie' was a way of breathing in Oz. And....loving it.
@74allnite I love The Saints & Cosmic Psychos & Radio Birdman !!! ( I have a Cosmic Psychos poster framed on my wall above the computer I'm typing this on) Australia had great bands! USA had great bands too...real R&R was all over our planet..just have to dig a little deep to find them sometimes!
cowboystitching . Man, yea those guys where influence but Kim Salmon and scientist were well before those guys. Most of those bands you mention all site The scientists and other great Ozzie punk rock bands as main influence. Try Radio Birdman, Cosmic Psycho's, Celibrate Rifles and many many more...heck even the Saints
in the 80s I never realized that the rest of the world had no word for " swampie" - I just assumed it was an american thing spanning the space between The Cramps and Gun Club - but no
Nirvana were full of shit ,... we had bands like the Saint, Scientists, Birthday Party, Lubricated Goat, Beasts of Bourbon and on and on and on years before ... all hail great Aussie pub rock.

Yeah! Proper pop music!
Ye, the real RocknRolla!
I'd say this is probably the first grunge song.
Mudhoney even covered it.
Mark loved the scientists.
I got to see the Scientists open for Mudhoney, Iggy & the Stooges, and Sleep at ATP in New York. It was smokin'!
Awesome...the Mudhoney version is great, too!
@Zinya13 have you got them yet please send them to me if you have thanks.
rock n rolla
