FICTION - RAMONA (Aussie punk/powerpop)-Label:OFF THE HIP 1978 Aussie punk/powerpop, pre Little Murders. 1978. 41 years ago Rob Griffiths and Rob Wellington formed a band. The Fiction were one of the first punk bands in Melbourne and played the small but exciting scene that included legendary bands like the Boys Next Door, La Femme and the Negatives. They played the Ballroom as it was beginning to become the focus of the St. Kilda alternative set. They ventured out to Croydon and Daylesford.
Then they broke up leaving behind demo cassettes, tapes and a single ‘Things Will be Different/Take Me I’m Yours’ which was released under the name Little Murders. 41 years after the fact Off the Hip released a live rehearsal tape. Rough and ready and full of energy. The band started playing again joined by Adam Learner from Blue Ruin and firstly Mick Baty on drums and then Al Murphy. They enjoyed it so much that they wrote a bunch of new songs and went into the studio and recorded a brand new album. This time with bass guitar.
RAMONA takes over where we left them in 1978. Short, energised pop punk songs that go straight to the heart and feet. The album just bounces from one mini classic to another. Plus, they record two songs from 1978. I Know and Boytown (with completely different verses). Then they lead the way to the future with the powerhouse Sweetness Brings The Light or the post punk guitars of My Ramona.
41 years after the fact the two Robs have lost none of their feel for pop edged punk music. Listen to it. It’s a joy! CD $14 SKU:22479

LITTLE MURDERS- DROMANA RAMA (Legendary Australian Power Pop)Label:OFF THE HIP Legendary Australian Power Pop band who've been releasing classic guitar songs since 1979. Named after the 1971 Alan Arkin-directed film, Rob Griffiths formed Little Murders in 1979 and they soon became the most influential mod band during the late '70s and early '80s in Melbourne, Australia.
The band's debut single, "Things will Be Different"/"Take Me I'm Yours," (December 1979), quickly sold its initial 1000 copies and remains a classic Australian pop record of the time. They would move into the power-pop scene as the years progressed and release classics like ‘She Lets Me Know’ and ‘100 drugs’.40 years later to almost the day Little Murders have released their eighth album Dromana-Rama on Off The Hip records. And 40 years have not diluted their energy one bit.As the title suggests the album was initiated by Rob Griffiths (singer/writer) recollections of travelling and gigging around the Mornington Peninsula back in the early eighties. It starts before then as Rob’s introduction to rock and roll was seeing the legendary sixties band Zoot rock out on Dromana beach for 3AK radio. Later Little Murders would play along the coast. Frankston, Sorrento, Hastings and more where their sixties beat captured the surfing crowd.There is also a nod in the energy of the tracks to Little Murders tour of Japan in 2018 where they witnessed and took part in the full-scale garage rock revival going on there. So what we have here is guitar pop complete with harmonies, melodies and minor chords. Rod Hayward remains on lead guitar playing scintillating solos. This time he is joined by Andrew Royal who takes on some of the lead guitar duties. Danny McDonald adds guitar. Bruce Minty plays bass (switching from the guitar in previous line-ups) On drums Shaun Lohoar.The whole package is wrapped with the production of Craig Pilkington who also plays various instruments. And to complete the circle the artwork was done by Stuart Beatty who produced that first record 40 years ago (and did the artwork) Already touted as their best album maybe it’s time you took a trip to Dromana-Rama.

PINK FAIRIES- Do It WAREHOUSE FIND 1999 release Label:Total Energy ONE ONLY! Place any of the first tracks from this compilation next to anything of the White Panther MC5's Kick Out the Jams and you find the material uniquely mated for message and visceral rock energy. This compendium of live recordings from 1969-1971 includes two versions of "Do It!," covered by Henry Rollins on his first solo album. While these '60s superstars played as part of huge, outdoor festivals, the Pink Fairies denied all pretense and jammed outside, entertaining for free.

This quartet bends your mind with their sonic boom rythms.Thunder and lightning bring out heavy tunes of doom, insanity into psychedelia and stoner.The production has got a retro feeling, '70s rock had a revival during the latest twenty years, but what is it that makes a band stand out in today's great variety of this kind of rock? Is it the uncompromising rawness of the psychedelia-based Sabbath riffs that once was written?Is it the vintage speakers, combined with pure analogue recording that the commercial scene lacks? Or is it just spelled MAMONT? CD $12 SKU:22343

CHARLATANS (USA) -LIVE AT THE STRAIGHT THEATRE 1967-Label:1960s Rolling Stone magazine described their music as as "a jaunty, ragtime rhythm that was of a piece with their style.

The Charlatans never enjoyed the popularity or commercial success that their innovative musical and visual approach so richly deserved.
