Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

US band RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS, have certainly amassed an impressive history since starting off in the early 80’s.

Todays feature track is an early one from the band.

It contains their trademark funkiness, but I think it might be where they channelled their inner plaintiveness for the first time.

Its gentleness and groove appealed to me the first time I heard it.

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

Cheers, Andrew Muecke

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

I have happily admitted in previous shows that I am just as susceptible to a nice pop song as the next person.

Back in the late 1960’s and early 70’s, Australia raised musician TED MULRY was releasing high class pop.

It was only a few years later that a very different TED MULRY fronted the hard rock band called TMG or the TED MULRY GANG.

Here is where it all began though and I only have good words to say about it!

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

When I first saw English band BABYBIRD on a video show, I was encouraged enough to wonder what some of their other songs would be like.

I didn’t follow through on that until I happened upon a CD of their album There’s Something Going On a few years later. I decided to buy it. In doing so and then listening to the album, I learnt two things.

1. This was a very strong album indeed. And 2. Main man and vocalist Stephen Jones is one messed up guy!

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.

Cheers, Andrew Muecke

Hi,

Welcome to NEVER HEARD THAT.

Using humour in songs has often been a way of connecting with the audience and a vehicle to success. There are many examples.

Australian band MACHINE GUN FELLATIO took that a lot further than most, and where deliberately both humorous and controversial.

They certainly had musical skill though. With this track, I think they knew they were on to something special and it is a rare instance where they just let the song shine.

I hope you enjoy this weeks NEVER HEARD THAT.
