Lubricated Goat to play SXSW

posted by Ben on Wednesday January 14, @01:57AM

from the Blah-Blah-Blah dept.

Sure, the Sleepy Jackson, the Cooper Temple Clause, NERD and so on are slated to play this year's SXSW in March. But forget that - the big news is the inclusion of legendary Sydney noise rockers Lubricated Goat. Altough they're not from Sydney anymore: the SXSW band list has them hailing from Brooklyn, NY.

Lubricated Goat are most (in)famous for their appearance on Andrew Denton's old TV show Blah Blah Blah in 1988. As Steve Kilbey of the Church said when he programmed Rage: "I remember when the Sex Pistols video came out it wasn't allowed to be shown. There's always been this competition of who can be the nastiest; who can go the furthest. Then Lubricated Goat came out and did this and totally wiped the competition right off the map. Its an incredibly banal and suggestive sort of song, they've these really insolent and arrogant looks on their faces. They're totally naked, they're not ashamed to let it all hang out. The song is a great song, it's all these guitar loops feeding back...it's quite a clever piece of music. I haven't seen any music that was nastier than this before or since." Kilbey will get a chance to quiz main Goat Stu Spasm about it in person at SXSW - the Church are playing the festival as well.

I've almost finished my documentary on the subject and is due mid 2004 see http://www.happeningfilms.com/intheraw In November 1988 Andrew Denton's BLAH BLAH BLAH program caused a nationwide stir by allowing guitar group LUBRICATED GOAT to perform on ABCTV completely naked. The resulting media frenzy jammed talk back lines as the public hotly debated this apparent decline in Australian media standards. IN THE RAW dispels the myths which have arisen as a result of Lubricated Goat's nude appearance by exposing the politics, the censorship, and the nudity of this event through extensive interviews with the members of Lubricated Goat, with ABC Management and the Blah Blah Blah Production team. cheers cuz intheraw@happeningfilms.com
