Seminal Aussie Pub Rock. MC5 & The Stooges influenced with some guitar wanker Prog Rock leanings as well. I gather Lobby Loyde was thee local "Guitar God" of the time. 2006 Aztec CD remaster lovingly executed with bonus tracks and a fat booklet loaded with info. Tracks range in length and style fairly wildly for music made in 1973. Band somehow involved/identified with the Melbourne "Sharpies" movement which is responsible for some of the worst haircuts ever worn. The music is worth a listen though. The fashion/anti-fashion aspect is a laugh....i.e. "proto-Punk" defined.

One of my favourite records of the period. Highly influential down here on punk - bands in the 80s/90s were still covering Human Being. You still see older blokes sporting sharpie haircuts which is essentially the proto mullet. I got to see them just before Lobby died. Still heavy as hell.

Cool. My Aussie audio buddy has been turning me on to loads of vintage Oz bands lately. When i think about the British Isles/Oz connection, it makes perfect sense for me to dig these bands.

Yep. Nice one! Hawkwind-esque even!
