Hoss - A Nice Quiet Chat b/w Where Have All the Good Times Gone? (Bang!, 2004)

After God disbanded —a key band of Aussie rock—, their members didn't stay standing, waitin' for somethig. Tim Hemensley joined Powder Monkeys and the magnificent Bored!, Sean Greenway founded the terrific the Yes-Men and Joel Silbersher, the guy of the day, came along with the Seminal Rat Michael Webber to found Hoss. They released several LPs and singles and had stable line-up since the mid-nineties: Silbersher (vox, guitar), Scott Bailey (bass), Jimmy Sfetsos (guitar) and Dean Muller (drums) —I'm still looking for any record of this band; if you had one, please, share! The band is actually inactive, like fallow land, just joining several times by year to play exclusive shows at Tote Hotel. In 2004 they recorded these two songs that Bang! Records released in exclusive as a 7": "A Nice Quiet Chat" b/w "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?" —this last one a nice Kinks cover.

Psychosurgeons - Horizontal Action b/w Wild Weekend (1978) (Crypt Records reissue, 2012)

Let's start this Club well. The Psycho-Surgeons or just Psychosurgeons were a seminal band of the Australian punk'n'roll scene. They were Radio Birmand's partners in crime, and as a lot of legendary bands their musical legacy were quite little, as little as one 7". "Horizontal Action" b/w "Wild Weekend" was released by the local label Wallaby Beat. Two punk rock kicks influenced by Stooges, of course, but also by the weird punk of NY. I can even taste a subtle flavor of power pop. The mates of Crypt Records reissued this fuckin' milestone last year, with an entirely new artwork and meaty liner notes. Now you have no excuse to not know them.
