Bands You've Never Heard Of

Ice Bullets

Bauhaus Cover band, more or less. had one original CD-single, 'Briareos Has No Dick', released by the same people that do those melbourne 3-RRR 'best of' compilations, then vanished, never to be seen again.

Wooden Girl

sort of like a suicidally depressed cross between hawkwind and jethro tull during a power outage. ie all acoustic, but spooky nonetheless. lead singer Laetitia Gwynne has a laugh that the Pinhead Cenobite would be proud of.

Kerri's Grubbery

this band is interesting due to the obvious inter-band politicking that goes on. the founder, Vivienne West, started it as a sort of grass-roots Green consciousness hippy thing; members left, and were replaced by Goths bent on subverting the band's original directions. they kept breaking up and re-forming over a four-year period, only to completely dissolve shortly after the recent NSW bushfires.

Plutonium Vibrator

more concerned with their virtual image than anything else; they never appear in public, and release all of their songs via Fidonet, in the form of UUEncoded .MOD files. could possibly be another Andrew Clayton net.joke.

Frantic Dogpaddle

make 'Happy Mondays' sound like Peewee Herman on valium. so depressing that four of the six tracks on their debut CD were banned by mental health authorities. lead singer Kingsley has a chip on his shoulder the size of one of the larger asteroids.
