Easter and Not Drowning Waving

Two fantastic vinyl rips of some fine and rare music
from Richard are up at his most excellently named
"Bowie is a Cranky Cat" blog.
Good to his word Richard promised to get himself a
turntable and rip both of these as well as the vinyl
version of "Cold and Crackle" which will come soon.
Thanks Richard this should fill all the holes
in the Not Drowning Waving and associated
projects we had.
So don't wait a moment longer and get over
to Richards blog.

Easter - Cheesecloth. 7" single

Pre Not Drowning, Waving single although it
is the same line up Tim Cole does the
singing. The lyrics are a tad odd but the
music is good.B-side was on the re-release CD
of 'Another Pond',
the A-side is unavailable on CD.

Also an excellent soundboard recording of Easter has
surfaced via a mysterious anonymous reader who
has shared this gem with us, thanks and do let
yourself be known, we don't bite.
If anyone has anymore info on this that would
be brilliant, I'm assuming the gig took place
in Melbourne.

Easter existed briefly in 1984
and featured this line-up:

Tim Cole - lead vocals/lyrics
John Phillips - guitars
Jamie Southall - percussions
Russel Bradley - drums
David Bridie - keyboards/vocals
Rowan McKinnon - basses
