The Proton Energy Pills - Survival

Video Clip made by the Proton Energy Pills in 1989 at Wollongong Masonic Hall. Just us being silly billies really - it's hard to mime to a ghetto blaster and pretend you are into it so we couldn't take ourselves too seriously.

Just throw an old guitar off a cliff & you have the most common camcorder videoclip from that period - same as throwing a television off the 8th floor..

To refresh your memory about your H.S.C state position 1989"Public is sick and tired of public education being marked for "drugs!", Poor behaviour!" &"poor discipline!" &YOU GO AROUND PROMOTING THAT ??? Well your attitude & image speaks the worst language & is of the worst standard in my last 30 years of outstanding service- DO YOU HEAR ME!!!

@AlburyAustralia......what the hell are you talking about man? Lighten up will ya...the clip was not done with a camcorder, they didn't even exist in 1989!

@leadfinger Are you off the herb or something?

I was only pointing out the fact they were VERY normal for what was done at the time & that growing your hair as a teen in the late 80's was strictly associated with crime, drugs,underaged indecency,violence & trying to do whatever it takes to get whatever is deserved from authority.

If you don't know someone mocking people who wanted long hair banned, you probably never had long hair.

@AlburyAustralia .....oh ok I think I get it now......sorry just hard to get the sense of humour out of the way your comment was written - lets face it, email is not the best form of communication for sarcasm. Good onya man......take it easy.

We? Who are you, Leadfinger? ;)

Great to see some Proton Energy Pills, I didn't get onto them until Tumbleweed had already been broken up for a few years.

Any chance of uploading the whole documentary? I'd be interested in The Unheard bit too...

I was the guitarist in the Protons, amongst other things....for more info check out leadfinger on myspace.

Brings back a lot of memories i used to listen to Metal and then heard this single at a friends place as a kid and new I had found what I had been looking for in music. Grunge kind of ruined this sound
