what year is this please?
Just put some complete information from Bazzil's website which has loads of info for all sorts of Australian underground music.
You have just sent me into a time warp! Thank you for actually taking the time to upload our old demo cassette. I can just remember the first time it got played on 4zzz in Brisbane it was about 12midnight on a Tuesday night and was probably heard by two people (Luke the drummer and myself).
Cheers and thanks for doing that!
Chris (Guitar).
Luke is pissed the band members stole his band.
You mean the band members of the re-named Water Rats Picnic, The Voodahas... Jaimie Carter (Lead Guitar) & myself were gone when Luke was still drumming for The Voodahas. So I'm guessing he's pissed at Anthony & Andrew (Bass Guitar) perhaps... They seemed to have taken over.
Water Rats Picnic were formed in high school by Luke Mallon & Chris Donnelly. In the very early Demo Tape days, another school friend Peter Wolffe joined to play bass. The band was Luke's & Chris' as founders in 1983-84.
What band members? Anthony (Vocals)& Andrew (Bass)after they changed their name to The Voodahas and Luke was still the drummer? The band Water Rats Picnic were formed by both Luke and Chris while they were in high school back in 1983/84. They had another school friend Peter Wolffe play bass for a short while. Water Rats Picnic were co-foundered by Luke Mallon & Chris Donnelly.
Luke Mallon, the drummer from WaterRats Picnic would like to get back in contact with his old band members. Please contact his sister Judith on 0755372646.
Luke and I would like to know why he was kicked out of his own band 'The Voodaha's', at the peak of it's success, only for it to fizzle into oblivion shortly after. I think Andrew McInally, Anthony Taaffe, Timothy Stanfield, and Christian Pyle, owe him an explanation and an apology, as he has suffered dreadfully since then. He has been completely alone for 30 yrs. he is destroyed and his life is sad and empty. Please reply or call Judith.

Sad to hear Luke has been doing it tough. Hope he is getting all the professional help he seems to need so he can move on with his life. Seems that Anthony and Andrew took over and decided to run the show which is a pity because there was some talent there.
Maybe Anne Dellar (Batswing Saloon &One Straw) could shed some light on the situation as Luke made her aware at the time of Andrew and Anthony disregarding him. Brisbane is choc a block full of people who could help or could help. For example,Jevan Cole, (Baton Rouge with Ian Walker)was playing in The Malarkey Sisters with Andrew whilst it was happening.

None of these people have even apologized let alone explained themselves.when theyre patronizing us, we know,when they're treating us like shit we're giving them the benefit of the doubt.I blame bystanders and manipulators (half-truthers)as bullied.Did I mention I'm not a pacifist anymore?
