FOUR!!!!

Staying in Australia one last time (for now)...

The Aussie punk band X put out an album entitled "Aspirations" in 1979 after a couple years playing around Sydney. It took me about two decades to hear this record, probably due in no small part to existence of the band X that most people know from Los Angeles. Don't get me wrong here, but X (L.A.) are a fantastic band that may get their own post here someday but the album from the aussie X is much more compelling to me than anything their L.A. counterparts ever did. The album is spastic, anthemic, catchy and it rocks with a raw energy that X (L.A.) only achieved live.



I had a hard time picking which song to put up here, so many of them are worthy. So decided to put up "I Don't Wanna Go Out" because it was the first song i ever heard by them.




The album has been reissued but still hard to locate try here.

You will not be disappointed.

Second post, Same as the first...

Sort of....

The Victims were Dave Flick (Dave Faulkner) on guitar and vocals, James Baker (drums) and Rudolph V (Dave Cardwell) on bass.
Flick and Baker went on to form The Hoodoo Gurus (hence the name of post)

This song is the title track from their first 7" record, and it is an incredible one at that...the sound is classic early punk...even Stooge-esque to me.




It would take a lot of cash to own this record now so hop on over to Digital Meltdown or Killed By Death Records blogs.

For whatever reason I am in Australia again with this post...I'll stay there tomorrow as well.

Debut for Radio Lied To Me...

Daily posts for me to share anything and everything possible with you..mostly music for now...

A lost gem from the 80's... a good pop song.

Hoodoo Gurus "I Want You Back"





Hoodoo Gurus were an Australian rock band that had only minimal success here in the U.S.
