The He Dark Age - The Frame
A post-punk experimental (partially) Brisbane band from
1986 to 1990 taken from their VHS As Far As Legs Will Carry.

The video features clips from each track on their sole LP
The Dog's Breakfast, a live show from 19/7/90 with the
band supporting Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at the
UQ Refectory, and various short videos.

THE HE DARK AGE is a collaboration between
Paul Newsome and Tony Milner, who've come from a
long line of Brisbane groups dating back to the late
1970s ie: the Swell Guys, No-V-Bleet, Pork, the Sump,
2 Stroke Poke, Smoothage, the Plug Uglies, In My Skin,
Machines That Walk, Xero and countless more.

Thanks Donat for the video and information

Chuck's really coming across with the goods. I'll spare the anecdotes, and plug my video post for THDA which I've kindly placed on the 'tube. Feel free to post this onto your site.

nice bit of video Donat , thanks for the post.

I was at the nick cave gig 1990 mentioned so i guess i saw the he dark age support although i have no memory of them... :/
I do remember nick being a little less than expectations sadly and put me off seeing him again live until last years fantastic ATP set.

Ive sent Bob an after party handbill for nick gig for shits n giggles.. sadly no concert handbill.. no mention THDA but may be of interest to you Donat.

Hey man, spotted this a while ago and I loved "gentlemen" but sadly all links are down (zshare doesn`t open for some reason).
So, if you could re-upload this, that would be totally awesome.

Cheers from another planet :)

i bought the vinyl album from the He Dark Age bandcamp site and am playing it right now. It sounds great! They're selling it for only $18 which is a real bargain but they do forewarn you that the record could be warped (as near as I can tell my copy isn't). There's an added $10 delivery fee (which I happily paid) but I got my $10 back when Tony Milner personally dropped the album off to my house yesterday. Gotta go now and flip the record over
