Return To The White Chairs, The Triffid 14-10-18

Return To White Chairs Vol 2 is the second instalment in reunion gigs
that reunite a punk and counterculture music loving crowd that met
and drank at the infamous Elizabeth St bar in Brisbane City between
’77-87.
Polarised by politics and conservatism at this time,
Brisbane birthed of some of the world’s most influential punk, post
punk and counterculture bands, and Return to White Chairs Vol 2
celebrates this time, the music and the many people that loved
and played in the scene.
Return to White Chairs Vol 2 is proud to feature the era’s earliest
punk legends RAZAR, reforming again after a notorious show 29
years prior at a Brisbane speakeasy. 
Second to RAZAR on the throne are Ipswich darlings
The Toy Watches, all 40 plus years honed at their craft
and still just as energising as they were then.
A massive support lineup includes other recognised names from back
in the day including The Horny Toads, Scrap Metal, Public Execution,
The 5 Hanks, Vacant Rooms and The Chrysalids playing genres across
Punk, New Wave, Rockabilly and Power Indie Pop and Rock.
More recent combinations of players from the era are found in
Dr Bombay, Dangerous Folk, The Bollocks,
and Cultured Few who represent indie rock, punk and celtic punk
rock.  This is a huge day and night of talent, nostalgia and fun!
Also featuring a VISUAL FEAST of 1000’s of photos and posters from
this era, this is a not to be missed and once in a lifetime reunion
with this lineup.
We thank the Triffid, Axelle Dee, Punkfest and the State Library
for contributing so generously to this fundraiser and
all those unsung and singing heros and punters that will support
the ultra poor of the projects of Growing Nepal Foundation,
through this event.
Namaste

Public Execution - Methadone Slave B/W SS Brigade

Matt has a motherload of goodies and he is bloodly nice
guy who wants to share the love.
He has recently returned to Brissy and has been following
the SSS blog with interest for some time.
Thanks heaps Matt and now I'll hand over to Matt to
tell us about this 7" and the band.


"Incendiary Brisbane punk band from early '80s.
This 7" was cut in 1982 as a 3-piece, Terry on bass
and vocals, Steve, guitar, and Fred on drums.
Later joined, (if my memory serves me correctly-
and it may not, so apologies all round) by bass
player Lindsay Dalgliesh, following his departure
from Mystery Of Sixes.
This lack of wired appendage freed up singer,
Terry, to antagonize and terrorize audience and
furniture alike, with most gigs ending up in violence
and carnage. Further, stronger, recordings were done
(I think with this line up), but never surfaced."

Donat has via the comments filled in some more background
on this band which is well worth sticking onto this post.
Thanks Donat!

"Fred Noonan from SixFtHick and other current
combos was of course the drummer who played in
Public Execution. Lindsay Dagleish did indeed
play bass at some point of the bands career
and Steve Playford was on guitar.
Public Execution came from a sphere of little-
known bands from the southside of Brisbane
like Malicious Joy and Sabotage, members of
whom became the basis of Mystery of Sixes.
PubEx appeared towards the tail-end of
Brisbane's golden post-punk years at the
Aussie Nash Hotel where Brisbane's hardcore
scene began to publicly blossom.
One of Brisbane's first bands to cite the US
Hardcore scene as a primary influence.
Terry was quite the Black Flag fan
and was also a die-hard fan of the Stranglers
- not to mention Pavlov's Dog!
PubEx were embraced by the 1st wave of
Brisbane punks and hence the reason why this
particular 45 was produced by none other than
Shake/Savage Music label's own Rod McLeod -
bassist and/or guitarist of such wide-eyed
hopefuls as Just Urbain, Young Identities, Kicks,
Bodysnatchers etc and more recently seen in the
Pineapples from the Dawn of Time.
This single, along with their tracks on a split tape
with Kicks (An Execution of One's Indulgence)
and an cassette EP of their own will appear in the
not-too distant future on a 45rpm 12"
Terry Devery in the early part of this century
played in a heavy blues trio King Rat, with early
Mystery of Sixes and Sabotage sticksman Alf Lunghi.
They released a couple of CD-r EPs before disappearing."
