Met Dave Faulkner at the Bat 'n Ball in 98' after a Sydney Swans game, we kicked ass on the pool table, then he talked me into seeing 'The Stems' at 'The Lyric' in Surry Hills, he wouldn't let my mate come coz he said it woz only 'Plus1'. Was a great gig and I met the cream of the Rock Music Industry at that good...
ive never seen the band before but always wanted to get into em since 2006 so im seeing there last show ever at mojos in fremantle with day of the dead And the bassist from dotd is my bass instructer so its gonna be a hell o f a aus rocking night.
Yeah, I saw the Staggers in NYC in November. They opened up the CaveStomp show headlined by THE SONICS. The Sonics are the grandfathers of garage, if you don't already know. I took a video of their first song "He's Waiting". It's up on my YouTube page.
50,000 Hand Job? Yikes, that was so long ago. I don't even think I remember how to play half thos songs. Anyhoo, fave Stems songs? For me, it's "Tears Me in Two", "Love Will Grow", "She's a Monster" and "Make You Mine"...
My band (Mondo Topless) is playing with The Stems (and the Cynics, Ugly Beats and a bunch of others) at a big fat Get Hip showcase at South by Southwest next month. Can't wait!!

Gr8 live band, saw them at The Old Melbourne. Loved the retro sound, fav song was "Man With The golden Heart". Perth has produced some good music.

Saw the Stems loads of times back in the 80s both in Adelaide and Perth. I still think they're great!
