wahhooooo !
big thanks to steve for this one. Sadly i never purchased any of the distant violin mags / cassettes at the time so im well chuffed to get this download. I hope one day David will pdf the old mags and post em on his blog or do a reprint book (ala sniffing glue) of this amazing time in australian music.

note: track 6 should read "Pictish Blood" - obscured by crease marks on the cover art.

Triple Zed Brisbane
R.I.P Terry Mcdougall awesome bass player (Pictish Blood - Reality Damage - Psycho Circus - Insane Hombres - Dreamkillers )

The Brisbane punk scene has recently lost one of it's most colourful characters. The last time I saw Terry was at Steve Ignorant [Crass lead singer] last June and he told me he had come to see the man who changed his life. Crass and Steve Ignorant changed his life but Terry changed a many a life here in Brisbane. His frantic upstroke bass playing and low lean back stance on stage were an inspiration for many of today's bass players around Brisbane. The Insane Hombres catch cry was Louder, Harder, Faster and it was the way Terry loved his music and life. Cheers Terry from 4ZZZ for many great memories and many a great gig (Chris Converse). Tune in to The Brown Couch from 3pm this afternoon for a tribute to Terry
