Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

@mattlock, yep, I was standing between AP Street and Nazz (GGA) if you remember your 90s street press critics, and I think they both spontaneously jizzed their daks when 50ft queenie started up. PJs voice was awesome btw - she definitely still gives her all vocally..

Qld Health mandated a shocking Psychlonic Irrigation upon cyclone ravaged tbb without consent...
Still not sure what it is or does but it requires an equally powerful old school Ben's Tunesmith remedy...
For those thinking tbb has lost the plot...Yeah Right...tbb's the crazy one...Huh! None here buy that...

Ben's Tunesmiths think tank : Prescribe { Psychlona }
Gonna recommend the entire back catalogue to cure tbb...
Trax defy belief...just the tonic for damaged Old School Police State Punkz flying under the radar...

Yer not thinkin' of hivin' away yer PBS stash...C'mon tbb!
So the crew be sniffing about for some obscure under the counter stoner skeg brew...
Well not supposed to...U Know...mention that... even if Medicare were puttin' out...
However! This new Mussolini Head Kick Police State is bustin' tbb's arse...
Ya didn't get this shot of { Resin } from Public Enemy #1 Hodad Punk Basher
...never popped into Ben's Trippy Sound Lounge for a cuppa!
Time to slip back under the Qld Police State Banana Curtain...in 54321...Ya didn't see tbb...Ok!
Never spiked yer cuppa with any Stoner Skeg Resin...no idea wot yer talkin' bout!

Fantastic w/e Party Crew + Love Love & [0:40] a brief pricey bash...yew!
Fantastic Plastic Machine Double Up...hold onto the rails & no one gets hurt...

1987 tbb bought this 1984 Plasticland LP in LA...(Way Way Underrated Psych pop Classic LP)
Load the whole LP for the crew...just set & forget...it's that good...real rare treat promise!
This is track 1 just click on more > then click [plasticland] > should load Whole LP.
+ Load companion 1986 Premier Oz Psych Band of the day.
Tyrnaround / Colour your Mind (Record Sleeve appears at end of Vid...all 3 gems from tbb's Psych stash!)

Oz Premium Psych Bands Request :
Trying to find Church offshoot 1992 Bhagavad Guitars [ Romeo Error ]...Ultra rare split offset schizo Vocal/s
Apparently is a play on this poem. (Possible Copyright!)
https://victorianweb.org/authors/crossetti/song.html

Hypnotised LP has the cornflake Huey Collectable on the Cover...tbb has this gem also but wants to share!
No idea why the band/label bury this classic...reckon it's their best Psych LP by far!
Track also oddly appears on 1993 Juice Comp
https://shadowcabi.net/side-projects/bhagavad-guitars.html
[Romeo Error] is like 2 insane clean Addictive Stems tracks in one...freaks ya out & works a treat.

Stoked to finally find Hypnotise Me ...certified Psych treat that companions this quality sound.
You'll hear how these 3 Bands lock in high quality accessible Psych...(re: XTC / Dukes of Stratosphere!)
(Bhagavad Guitars is The Church's > side Psychedelic Project)

blackers Sunday, 23 Mar 2025 at 03:35 pm new

Saw the Bhagavad Guitars play once, long times ago. Thanks for reminding me TBB.
Not too disimilar of bands from the same era, without the fancy "metal core" moniker.
