The Birthday Party - Junk Yard (Live Gotterdammerung 1982)

[asSwanski]

I was 16 when I saw this on TV, one quiet Sunday night on prime time (!) in The Netherlands. I knew the band so the music was not new to me but the performance itself was a statement that is unique in the history of prime time TV to this day. Provocative, dirty, aggressive, druggy, dangerous, downright scary: cool as fuck. This night I learned there was no sexier bass than a Rickenbacker. I bought one myself later though I never masturbated inside a kick drum :-)
