I've been playing gigs in Brisbane since 1985 This was a comment on songs that typify Brisbane from a opinion piece by John Birmingham the writer. “Here's a quick 10-track compilation that reminds me of JizzVegas: Escape From Toytown - Fish & Chip Bitch From Ipswich Warped - Small Town Disease Purple Avengers - Another World Pineapples from the Dawn of Time - Too Much Acid The Parameters - Pig City The Saints - I'm Stranded Pangea - Collosus Regurgitator - ! (Song formerly known as) Go-Betweens - Streets Of Your Town (not the Courier Mail sanitised version which has scrubbed the 'watch the butcher shine his knife/and the town is full of battered wives' couplet) Alien Virus - Napalm Sticks To Kids Six Ft Hick - Beat Myself “ My bands are Escape From Toytown and Alien Virus in that list… John Birmingham’s answer “I think Mr Rockdust is the winner. A free copy of the Courier Mail for him. But without the battered wives.” Songs of now and then.
