#70 - bit of an Aussie fest

Tangled Shoelaces were a 5-piece from Brisbane, this 4 track Ep as far as I know their only release. The Champagne Edge were from Melbourne ( and begat another band Dorian Gray ) and released a 4 tracker on Au Go Go Recs. A few other reps from Melbourne - of course The Hunnas ( with Conny Plank's help ), The Birthday Party ( though long gone to the UK by the time of Release The Bats ) and The Ears. And Sydney gets a guernsey via The Fester Brothers and Laughing Clowns.

Otherwise we have a ragtag OS crew in the shape of Josef K, Gentle Despite and The Higsons ( the latter turning up in the last 2 mixes bizzarely )

Enjoy :)
