Custard are an Australian indie rock band from Brisbane formed in 1990.
The band were originally known as Custard Gun and featured David McCormack on vocals and guitar, Paul Medew on bass, James Straker (later in The Melniks) on guitar and Shane Brunn (who later formed Hugbubble and Vanlustbader) on drums. After a few shows and line up changes (namely James being replaced by Matthew Strong) Custard Gun morphed into Custard. Custard existed for about a decade (albeit with revolving line up of drummers - Gavin Herrenberg, Danny Plant, Glenn Thompson et al.). The band released five albums (Buttercup/Bedford, Wahooti Fandango, Wisenheimer, We Have the Technology and Loverama), two EPs (Gastanked and Brisbane) a 7" single ("Rockfish Anna"), various CD singles, two compilations of re-issued and rare material (Wacked Not Wacky and Brisbane 1990-1994) and a posthumous greatest hits compilation entitled Goodbye Cruel World. During their heyday they were a popular live act, appearing prominently for several years in the Triple J Hottest 100.
I was wondering if you had 'Heal the Child' by Felt?
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth Adam I haven't heard of them unless you mean the 80's UK band if it's an Australian band could you give me a bit of info and I may be able to help you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting up some great memories, I gratefully grabbed The Flying Circus file, they were very under-rated here. I dont suppose by any chance you would have any of Maria Dallas' albums??? She had a wonderful husky voice, an put out some 4-5 albums on Viking label in NZ... Maria Dallas...M.D.'s 2nd Album... M.D.in Nashville...Pinocchio the one's I remember. I would love to hear those great songs again. Thanks anyway for your hard work
