I really wish someone would post the whole Teddy boys picnic album.Love to hear brave new world again--with lyrics like "we'll swap our heads for TV sets and a large mechanical dong dong,the lights are on the doctor said but no one will be home"

@brawlingnun

type JandBat Selenas in your search and you'll get a concert of Jimmy & Boys, which features tracks from the Teddy Boys album....

Poor o'l Ignacious. He sings I'm not like everbody else, yet he hid the fact that he was Spanish and exchanged his Basque surname, Trapaga, to the inconspicuos "Jones" perhaps to be just like everybody else.

[nzoz1979]

I wouldn't have guessed he was trying to hide his Spanish origin. I dug out an old interview Donnie Sutherland did with Iggy in 1983 - Iggy clearly states that he is of Spanish origin.

The interview can be found on my 'welovedonnie' account.

I guess I can never understand why people Anlicize their name. They were a great alternative band though. I saw them live on a number of occasions. Once with another great but relatively obscure band called Bawana.

Hey by the way, I checked out your clips and you have some real treasures there. Keep up the good work. It's great to see someone cataloging great Aussie rock!

Cheers

[nzoz1979]

No worries, i'm glad you're enjoying what i've put together! cheers!

[markeastonlimousine]

Like a manaquin, he stood dead still for ten minutes while the band set up, as soon as they kicked into the first song he just spat into the crowd and went right off!

Good ol fashioned entertainment kids!

[markeastonlimousine]

No I don't remember that one, but I do remember, disco caca, city of shit, and I'm pretty sure he did a song called I wanna be black?

And I do remember his 2 female back up singers wearing little g strings with Australian flags on them and them putting cornetto ice creams down there and ice cream running down their legs!

Outrageous!

And I remember him wearing a g string, body all painted gold with an old flying hat with a pink record stuck on top, the roadies carried him on stage like a manaqui

@markeastonlimousine

@munggirl

I remember the boys at Bondi great nights long ago but what was the venue call ??????

[mpdiver100]

I lived next door to the Manly Vale in the 80's and saw some top bands there.

I was standing at the bar one night waiting to see Simple Minds New Gold Dream concer,t and Jim Kerr walked past me behind the bar. Wohoo

[mpdiver100]

Awesome, I saw these guys at the Plantation Hotel in Coffs Harbour in the 70's. I wasn't even old enough to be there.

What a concert, music these days is so boring.

Lady Ga ga? Give me a fucking break!!
