The Johnnys - live photos
A few photos I took of The Johnnys in about 1985 at Easts Leagues Club in Brisbane.
The Johnnys were one of the most enjoyable bands I have seen, I always made sure I saw them every time they toured.
Their gigs started with a roadie wheeling out a bar fridge full of VB and when they got on stage their main priority seemed to be to polish the lot off before they finished.
You were always guaranteed a great night out.

NME 1980.
A no show for Deborah Harry
Here's a great post from mr.K about the perils of eating too many cherries before going on stage to perform a live show.
It made the front page of The Brisbane Telegraph in December 1977.
Yeah Hup!
The Plasmatics
The Glen Hotel Ska-B-Que
An ad and a bit of a writeup for one of the Ska-B-Ques (or is it a Sca-B-Que??) at Brisbane's Glen Hotel, they held two of these as far as I can recall. They were great fun and the best I'd ever seen The Strange Tenants and The Furious Turtles. It was 1983 I think.
This is a precursor to some up and coming posts of photos I took of both the bands and they will appear in coming weeks.
If you did go to these gigs leave some feedback.

Summer fun with The Barracudas
The Barracudas started in London in the late 70s but could just have well as come from America's west coast. Surf guitars and great tunes, a big contrast to all the punk bands coming out of the UK at the time. Taken from an article in the UK mag "The Record Mirror" in 1980.
Read more about The Barracudas on this page I found at Steve Gardner's site www.nkvdrecords.com, and make sure you have a browse through the rest of his site.

Dave Warner
Here's an article about Dave Warner from Australian music magazine RAM magazine (Rock Australia Magazine). RAM started in 1975 and was over sometime in the late 80s.
Dave Warner formed his band "From the Suburbs" in the late 70s and produced some classic Australian music, he has also written a couple of movie screenplays and a number of novels . Visit his site at www.davewarner.com.au to listen to some of his music, learn more about the man and purchase his music and books.

The Insane Hombres
Brisbane 1986-1989 (or there abouts).
Here's a photo shoot I did for them in about 1987. The Insane Hombres were a good old skate punk band who played frequently around the traps in Brisbane during the mid to late Eighties. They released one 12" ep titled "To the Core" in 1989.
Members included John Bryant (aka Johnny Kwala), Sid Roberts, Terry McDougall and Ian Cranfield.
Both Sid and Terry went on to join The Dream Killers.
I took these photos in an old house they rented as a practice room somewhere in the western suburbs of Brisbane.

The Birthday Party, International Exiles and Equal Local
Just who are The Black Assassins?
Were they Brisbane's Ugliest Band?
Formed in Brisbane in 1981, never released any recordings and had one of the most mysterious reputations of all the Brizzie bands. They played sporadically throughout the 80s and constantly gave the local constabulary a good run for their money. Find out more at their website www.blackassassins.net.
Not too sure where this article came from - maybe a fanzine of some sort from the era.

An evening with Ignatius, Joylene and the lads
One of the more (dare we say) outrageous Australian bands of the early 80s with live shows consisting of simulated sex acts, baby burning, pigs heads and more gracing the stage.
As far as I can recall this article was cut out of the Brisbane Courier Mail in 1981.
Enjoy.
