Edit history

Fluoxetine is an antidepressant drug, most commonly found in Prozac and its generic version, Lovan. In some cases, within the first 14 days of taking the medication, some people experience intense feelings of depression and suicidal tendencies. Fluoxetine the drug and Fluoxetine the band have something in common: like the drug their music takes you from one extreme to another. In 1998 Paul Handel (geetar) and Morgan Lawless (bass) created On All Fours, with drummer Paul Robertson. But there wasnt room for more than one Paul in the band, one of them had to go and it certainly wouldnt be geetar genius Paul Handel. So in 2003, Nick Parkinson (drums obviously) joined the band and it was renamed Fluoxetine. For a year the boys played funk, punk, metal, jazz as an instrumental three piece. Then, one night at a packed show in their hometown of Katoomba, while playing their fourth encore (true!), Jesse Sudich (vocals) could take it no more. He heard the band begin a cover of Tommy the Cat
