There was a college band in my Uni days who changed their name from Sid Cessna & The Propellers to Con Krakatoa & The Hot Lavas.

Forgive my self-indulgence but Iām feeling saucy.
The universe really, really wanted that band to break up.
From Horsham, Victoriaā¦within six monthsā¦
The singer went to Karratha.
The bassist went to Canberra.
The guitarist went to Iraq.
The drummer went to Antarctica.

Is that the same Essendon Airport funk-punk band from the 80ās which eventually morphed into Iām Talking (with Kate Ceberano)?

Be nice (or maybe not) to be able to listen to some of these bandsā¦like the thread title
Just for you ASB. Amazing that these same guys were releasing tepid funk-pop as Iām Talking within a couple of yearsā¦

Oh wait, you posted the flip side 
Does anyone have the early eighties book/magazine of Australian bands?
It was pretty comprehensive.
Mine fell apart. And I might haveā¦taken the scissors to it for my school folders.
Feel like it had Essendon Airport in it.
And tch tch tch.
And a quote from Iggy Pop next to a photo of an old dead tree.
Just listening to Magical Mystery Tour - Beatles what an awesome album, somehow has all elements of John Paul and George influences at that time and you can really tell the difference but it is still definitively Beatles, how they progressed in such as short time is mind boggling for that age.

It wasnāt an official album when it was first released, but 2 EPs stuck together. Only later did they rerelease it as an album. It is my fave Beatles album.
