The End - 7"single - My Confession / White World

Chuck has pulled out this rare and historic single
from Brisbane band The End, a band which was
the forerunner to Died Pretty. It is said Ron Peno
was a fan and was constantly telling them what
they needed was a great singer and that would
be him.
Thanks Chuck for making this available to the
masses.

Also playing around the Brisbane traps at the same time
was a young band called The End. Guitarist / singer
Brett Myers was a Velvet Underground devotee who had
formed The End during February 1979 specifically to
fulfil his desire to play a heavily VU-influenced
brand of music. Alongside Myers, the original End
line-up comprised Andrew Massey (bass), Murray Davis
(keyboards) and Colin Barwick (drums).
Massey was soon replaced by Jonathan Lickliter.
Myers tastes were broad and as well as the Velvet
Underground, The End covered songs by Wire,
New York Dolls, The Stooges, Destroy All Monsters,
Eno, The Feelies, Pere Ubu and The Ronettes.
Myers also contributed a small but steadily
increasing number of original songs that eventually
included 'Birthday Boy', 'Just Skin', 'Lost',
'Through My Heart', 'White World' and 'My Confession'.
Although gigs around Brisbane were few and far between,
The End built up a cult following playing alongside the
likes of The Go-Betweens, The Riptides, Razar,
The 31st, The Apartments and Fun Things.
In September 1981, The End issued the single
'My Confession' b/w 'White World' (EMI Custom 13199)
in a pressing of only 300 copies. The single was a
moody evocation of the future Died Pretty sound with Myers'
resonant guitar lines and Davis' spooky keyboard fills.
