You don't see a lot of bands like that anymore. Brisbane around that time had an amazing scene. You could walk into some bohemian cafe in the city and some band would be set up in the corner and then you would go to ZZZ market day or Big Day Out (before it got "Big") and see the same band on the main stage. It was a good time for artists and musicians. Then the council decided to push the alternative scene out for the normie club scene because they could make more money and all the good stuff went to Melbourne and died from heroin.

RHCP came on and we hated every second of it because they were shitty they couldn't wear the socks on their junk in BRisbane so they did a bad show. Nirvana came out and was booo'd off stage within two songs. We wanted the hardons back. Nirvana just sucked at nearly every show.

Welcome to manhood!

Got to watch these guys in 1996. The act that came on stage right after them... The Ramones. What a night.

As an old coot growing up on the great '60's and '70's rock classics, I had a hard time adjusting to '80's New Wave. Now I miss that music terribly. So inventive and creative..

This album was sheer perfection. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 It’s fun to see videos of songs that were the soundtrack of my youth. I’ve never had tv, but I waste time on KZread when I’m sick or injured. 😂

They provided me my very own "I saw them when..." moment in 1982 at a small Greek festival downtown Omaha right across the street from UNO. At first I thought they had to be some local high school wedding band on a lark. Well, they basically weren't far from that I guess. But it was a small pavilion and they were this high energy acoustic trio. I stood there alone marvelling at how much I loved genuine music in such small intimate settings. Their name stuck in my head. In a few years they really took off and had gifted me with my own I-saw-them-when memory.

Oh my God, I had not heard this song since the 80's!!
