Hunters & Collectors - Lumps Of Lead (1982)

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Unfortunately, this isn't on the cd version of their first album. Does anyone know why??? Is it on the vinyl?

[uglybustards]

seymours book is a good read on this early stuff and how it came from perano, if you read between the lines. borrow it off someone or read it in dymocks chapter at a time at lunch....thats what commo seymour would have wanted

[mfactor88]

hunnas were pretty much UNIQUE world wide(the only vaguely similar band was Shriekback (my spine is the bassline) they tried to be american to make money yet failed. australias best of the best the only other 2 were the OILS and INXS thats it, end of story.nothing else has happened since or will in my lifetime m50 oh most defintely yes i was there

[Devito46]

Steaming bass line.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

It amazes me how original and sublime Hunters & Collector's were in 1982 and the band they ended up becoming!

They ended up making such shit music yet their early stuff is completely GENIUS beyond words!

[marcelkonings60]

This is a fantastic song! I love it. It is uneasy and discomforting and that is why it works for me.

[dustanyonedust]

i think we need to be making plans for nigel....

[19680606Doud]

"your eyes..." i like it definitevely

[bristolpomeroy]

This is from one of the best albums of the 80's, great stuff. So unique

[ZLUGGO]

I prefer The Saints.

[palehorsepalerider]

who cares

[linnida]

so good it hurts...early hunnas always my prefered era...their first three albums are stone-cold classics!!!

[mightylittle729]

I've got this on cassette, So I should checkout there first 3 ???????

[palehorsepalerider]

yeh what happened after the third one. It just seemed to turn to most uninspired tripe.

[bluejeckett]

@palehorsepalerider They wanted to crack a market? lol

[bluejeckett]

@linnida Yeh it started for me when I saw Talkiing to a Stranger and grew from there when I sought that album and then loved the wierd arse tracks and got the other early albums, one of the most innovative things Ive ever heard and tye were Melbournians!! lol

[carleyrocks1]

anything and every thing from hunters and collectors rocked

this was a song i used to listen too after my ex husband had taken to me with his fists ......

id soak in the bath to bring all the bruises out quicker and think of him and his big lumps of lead ........

bitter sweet memories

[nzoz1982]

you are old enough to know better. why come on here and view a video that you already know you are not going to like? what is the point of it. are you insecure?

[HomelandConspiracy]

god i love this band! Wish i could got to see them live

[tsumorii]

I love the music of Hunters and Collectors b4 they went comercial. Imaginative music performed by free spirits. Nothing like it!!

[zyurecka]

Love live fretless bass!

[gombrich4444]

This is a great song. It is unfortunate that they went to the dogs around 1988.

[barryjenkums]

This is good stuff, before they went sh*t and made crappy rock music to get played on Neighbours and Home and Away

[babpunk]

j'adorais ce groupe quand j'étais ado, je suis si heureuse de voir leurs clips!

incantatoires, comme leur musique;

je crois que je vais me racheter leurs albums.

[rgonko]

what a great bloody song! I rather cannot believe it...

[cwegers]

Hi Greg, still surfing bondi, I miss it

[Morthund]

Aw fuck, Im gonna die of nostalgia..

[kensane]

They certainly sounded different in 1982 in comparison to songs like "Holy Grail". It reminds me of The Cure a little bit.

[jpdkiwi]

Did they ever do a video for Run, Run, Run?

that song gives me the chills...

[nzoz1982]

I don't think they did... and it is a great song!

[shakypam]

I have a standard story I tell when this stuff comes up that I had a "religious experience" seeing them do that at The Club in Melbourne in 82. I was 19, what can I say?

[blobbs23]

Great song from a hugely under rated Aussie Band.Seen them live  4 times all great.Check out Mark Seymour

[pookus9]

capitalist system has yet to collapse.

commies keep trying to hang on.

[nwjh1957]

There is more to the political debate than Capitalism and Communism. Read George Bernard Shaw for a start, which might clarify the various "isms" for you. But in 1982, with Reaganomics, Thatcherism and Fraser's bumbling lot all tearing into people for the sake of money, it certainly seemed like capitalism was on its last legs. But capitalism is a moving target, its only constant being that money comes before people. If that's what you want....

[primarybenelux]

Heh, I'm watching this 25 years to the day that it was filmed. (Well, it's still the 17th here today.)

[nzoz1982]

now I'm going to watch it too!!!!
