From 1978 to 1984, many people
across the world were inflamed by the do it yourself attitudes of punk
rock but who also wanted to create something that was different to the
adrenalin three chord thrash so prevalent at the time.
Sydney, Australia's largest
city, was not immune to this slightly indulgent rallying cry and somehow
I managed to be involved in this little scene which was not only intense
and claustrophobic but also immensely satisfying and creative.
These pages mainly outline the
bands that I played some small part in during this time. They're mostly
forgotten now, except by friends and a few dedicated fans but that's not
to say they were anything less than interesting. At times they were very
special indeed, at least to me.
I've also included some small
info and commentary on the majority of the other experimental post-punk bands playing in
Sydney during this time because there just doesn't seem to be any other
pages about them anywhere - which is a real shame.
As always, all of these comments
are my personal recollections and feelings. I'm sure that other people
would have something different to say if given the chance...
