Perthection
To continue the celebration of returning to Perth and posting music from my home town, here's a repost.
Sadly my old buddy from The Hoovers didn't turn up to the party, so there were no Hoovers tracks, no Boss Hoss. But John from The Volcanics did get up for a few songs, including Teenage Kicks, which was fun.
This mix is of Perth bands from the 1970's through to the end of the millenia, when I had already left Perth and moved to Sydney. This mix moves from punk to pub rock, surf instros to post-punk, guitar pop and more. This is only the surface of some of the great music that has come from, and continues to be created in, Perth - the world's most isolated city.
Most of these bands I saw live, many I saw numerous times, some I just liked, others I played in, or played gigs with. But it will give you an idea of how vibrant the Perth music scene was. Check out the links if you want to find out more about any of these bands.

Whatever happened to the Bamboos? I remember seeing them a couple of times mid-80s. Also had 1st 2 singles and a cassette only release. I go overseas for a few years, return, and they no longer exist. I would love to hear the Born Killer EP (hint, hint). Sadly, when I made some enquiries/requests at 'they called it good at the time' blog, the feedback was......who?! It's good to see someone else remembers them.
Sadly The Bamboos are another of those great Perth bands lost to time. I know that the Kryptonics have recently released a compilation CD, which i will be posting tracks from at some stage in the future, so we may be lucky and see a similar release from The Bamboos? But i wouldn't be holding my breathe.
I'm sorry Voodoo Guru, but this track from the Take Everything, Leave Nothing compilation is the only Bamboos song i have.
can any of my voyeurs out there help us out with more information of music?
cheers
Michael
Hi. the link for the Perfection doesn't work.
I'm chasing tracks from Rhythm Method and one was listed on that link.
They released a live cassette and I'm desperate for that also
