So in my last post I mentioned the household ePrints repository. I was joking, kids. But it sort of got me thinking. I bet the Les Carr household has one. Maybe I should do something for the family heritage.

Anyway, here’s a bit of ephemera I found in a plastic sleeve in my song-lyrics folder. A poster for a band I was in in 1987 which won (I think we tied for first, or did we come second?) the Sydney Uni Band comp. We were originally called something else but when we found out we were in a heat up against a band called ‘The Fuckers of the Dead’ we changed the name and revised the repertoire. As far as I recall that did the trick and they didn’t show up. We didn’t have a drummer so we made a backdrop out of orange plastic with a black silhouette of a drum kit and a spiky haired drummer and insisted that the sound guy mic it up just like it was a real one.

Can you spot which one is me and which is Ken Maeda* and which is Maxine Whelan**? (Hint, I have the bass guitar and Max looks alarmingly like her mic is plugged into a powerpoint.) She made this picture.
