Few words from me 1000% original sound, 1000% special music approach, definately unique and prototypes in the underground and all this from the most exceptional and outstanding Australian group.
The group were thrown together by vocalist Tex Perkins to fulfill a booking his previous band, Tex Deadly and the Dum-Dums, could no longer make. The band began playing together in small venues in Sydney. The initial version of the group included Spencer P. Jones of The Johnnys, Boris Sudjovic and Kim Salmon of The Scientists and James Baker of Hoodoo Gurus. Recruited in large part because they were often found in the Southern Cross, an inner-city Sydney bar, these members form what is considered by some[who?] to be the 'classic'[neutrality is disputed] line-up. This lineup was featured on the band's first album, The Axeman's Jazz, recorded in 1984 in a single afternoon for one hundred dollars by Tony Cohen. The album was an excursion into deranged Gothic country and western,[citation needed] with a strong sense of irony and irreverence toward country music's clichés.[citation needed] A cover of "Psycho" was a hit on alternative radio.[citation needed] Although the album became an underground success, the band continued, for the time being, to be a side project for its members until 1988.
