Midnight Thunder Express

Born in May 2001, Midnight Thunder Express were formed after the demise of Seattle punk rock n' rollers, the Valentine Killers. Stu Miller, Brian Coloff, and Scott Myrene decided to forge on with their mission. However, this time it was layering the sexual swagger of T Rex and the Stones on top of pure rock n' roll learned on record from the masters such as AC/DC, MC5, and the New York Dolls. Recruiting Willie from the sinking vessel known as the Backstabbers and Jimmy Flame (Jimmy Flame and the Sexy Boys) on drums, Midnight Thunder Express was complete. Their only release was the self-titled album on 2002.

Exploding White Mice part I

Exploding White Mice part I

Exploding White Mice were formed in Adelaide, South Australia in early 1984, for the sole purpose of playing a set of covers at a friend’s party. The first line-up consisted of Gerry Barrett (guitar), Giles Barrow (guitar), Paul Gilchrist (vocals), Andy MacQueen (bass) and Craig Rodda (drums). The band wore its influences proudly on its sleeve, those being: 60’s garage punk (Sonics, 13th Floor Elevators etc.), 70’s American punk rock (Stooges, MC5, New York Dolls, Ramones etc.), and 70’s Australian rock and roll (the Saints & Radio Birdman). After playing a couple of parties, the band (to its surprise) was offerred a show at an inner-city pub, which began a rapid growth in popularity. Shows were characterised by high energy, masses of dyed black hair, brutal volume and relentless posing, all of which went down a storm in the already healthy Adelaide scene. Other bands playing around town at the time included the Spikes, Mad Turks, Screaming Believers, Primevils and the Plague, all of whom would, along with the Mice, soon release records on the Greasy Pop label. In late 1984 Gerry Barrett left the band, to be replaced by guitarist Jeff Stephens, who remained a member until the band’s last gig in May 2000.

Hound God With a Tumour

Hound God With a Tumour was Harry Stafford's project after the Inca Babies split up, and their sound followed a similar style.

Blacktop

Blacktop was the first post-Gories project for Mick Collins. While similar to the legendary garage punk three-piece, Blacktop is a clear progression, in terms of musicianship and songwriting skill, for Collins and is also the beginning of his movement towards noisier material. The band's sound was fuller and more sophisticated, due in no small part to the addition of a bass line and the songwriting input of Darin Lin Wood (Fireworks, '68 Comeback) and Alex Cuervo. While still drawing from a wealth of blues, soul, and mod influences, Blacktop crossed into seemingly new territory, even going so far as to cover Captain Beefheart's "Here I Am, I Always Am." I Got a Baaad Feeling About This, their first album, was recorded on an eight track at a friend's house in Dallas and was released in 1995. Half of the album's tracks, and several other unreleased ones, were assembled and released in Australia as Up All Night. As with all of Collins' other projects, Blacktop released several 7" singles throughout it's brief career. The band never made it back into the studio, although Collins and Cuervo went on to form King Sound Quartet with Tim Kerr.
