SOULSCRAPER - Heard it all before 1992

Soulscraper combined samplers and audio loops played live with acoustic drums and aggressive punk influenced guitars. The sound was influenced by alternative,industrial, goth, punk, and dance music, combined with an Australian Pub Rock live music sensibility.

The band released two EP’s, “Heard it all before” (1992) and “Neo-Anarcho” (1993) and both received considerable national airplay on radio station Triple J.

The band split in 1993 and members went on to form and play in many bands including bands such as Insurge.

THE MOCKERS - Culprit and the King 1985

The Mockers were hugely successful in an early-mid 80s New Zealand, obsessed with then-current crop of British pop. The band initially formed in 1979 as The Ambitious Vegetables, with line-up of Gordon Costello, Andrew Fagan, Gary Curtis and Charlie Mannell who were all at Rongotai College together. Their original songs were written by Gordon Costello when he was aged approximately 10. Gary Curtis wrote many of their songs as well and continued on to write most of the music for The Mockers. Sadly it's one of the best, but sadly ignored records that came out of NZ.

GRAHAM KENNEDY'S - Blankety Blanks 1977

Born on 15 February 1934, the only child of Cyril and Mary Kennedy, Graham Cyril Kennedy was raised in the working class Melbourne suburb of Balaclava.
Kennedy left school aged 15 to work for Radio Australia but soon made live television his domain during a 12-year stint as the host of In Melbourne Tonight. Kennedy's sharp wit and spontaneous nature won him 14 Logies - including the "Star of the Year" award at the first ceremony in 1959 - and made him the most popular person on Australian television.In 1998 he was inducted into the Logies hall of fame.
But his irreverence also resulted in a number of controversial moments.
In 1975 he was banned from live TV for his infamous crow call of a four-letter word (Farrrk). Kennedy returned to the small screen two years later with the game show Blankety Blanks broadcasingt 5 times a week Graham Kennedy quickly proved his TV legend status with a nightly 30 minute of fun and lunacy, turning Blankety Blanks into Australia's favourite show.

He died in the New South Wales Southern Highlands in the early hours of 25 May, 2005 , aged 71 after being cared for in the last years of his life by friends Tony Sattler and Noelene Browne

Girl Monstar - Monstereo Delicio 1992

Girl Monstar should of been bigger than they were as each member of the group were more than proficient on her chosen instrument, could sing, and each had their own endearing personality. They outgrew the novelty all-girl tag which is bestowed upon girl groups and truly proved their worth as one hell of a rock n roll outfit. Releasing their debut album in 1992 titled Monstereo Delicio. before disbanding in early 1993. During their short career, the band acquired some prestigious support slots including The Ramones, Buzzcocks, D.A.D and Skid Row

ALMOST HUMAN - Hold On 7"EP 1987

First forming in 1979, playing a lot of covers in the pubs around Adelaide before folding in '84, and then getting back together in '86. The pub rock scene was quite healthy back then, and they were very popular. Almost Human actually hold the record for attracting the biggest crowd to the Bridgeway Hotel squeezing in 1800 people in for one gig! Unfortunately, the scene started to die out towards the end of the 80's, and they only put out this release - the EP 'Hold On'.
The band have managed to get most of their original line-up back together and you can download a new mp3 over at http://www.almosthuman.com.au/

01 Hold on
02 Shadows of fear
03 Death warmed up

192 kbps
Hold On
