Thanks Niall. Some stuff I didn’t know about The Triffids. Great band but there were a lot of great bands around then.
Thanks @Junior-Wells 🙏 I started from the point of absolutely zero knowledge of the band when I began researching. It was the simple line I read that they used to drive from Perth to Sydney to fulfill gigs, and then drive back again. That hooked me and I wanted to find out more about them. As has happened many times writing my blog, I then fell in love with the band and their story, more so than with their music.
By coincidence I was looking for something to hear the other day – saw Born Sandy Devotional on the shelf and thought “That’s the one” and played it for the first time in years.
I thought it sounded better than ever.
@Carl I’d never heard it but played it a lot while writing this. It’s a terrific album.
Marvellous, as per.
A pedant writes: Psychic Life came out in 2011, credited to Jah Wobble and Julie Campbell. Slightly confusingly, the debut Lonelady album, Nerve Up, came out the year before.
👍 ta.
