  • "Rock 'Til Dawn"? Is that a program on like a Canberra version of Briz-31?

    Love <3 Paul's wicked-cute smiles at 1:24, 2:52, and 3:34!

  • @QuirkyGirl12345 Yeah it does look like community television but it's not, that was CTC 7, Canberra's then only commercial TV station which produced some local shows such as that one (on a low budget). The station no longer exists being taken over by Channel 10 when all the TV stations, nine, seven etc finally began broadcasting into Canberra in the late 80s.

  • That is amazing! The oldest, youngest and firstest video of Paul, Tim and Rich ever. But 1984? I didn't think they got together until 1986...

  • Definitly recorded in 1984, but I checked wikipedia to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and it confirms they started as buskers in Canberra while studying at uni in 1984 but moved to Melbourne in 1986 after they won an award at the Adelaide Fringe Festival.  So 1986 is when they became more than just local Canberra identities.

  • It comes from an old music video TV show called 'Rock til dawn' from the days when Canberra had only one commercial TV station along with the ABC. The show was pre 'Rage' and broadcast live all night, featuring local talent among the music clips. As a kid I would watch for awhile and tape from about 2am, so the DAAS' first TV appearance was at about 2.30 on a Sunday morning on a small TV station in Canberra - but you have start somewhere!

  • @Chunafishy It's his stupid hair! He was quite cute... but that hair.

  • Their sarcasm was way too advanced for the 80s. Stupid interviewer!!!

  • McDermott looks disgusting as a 22 yr old. Way sexier at 49!!!

  • legends absolute legends!!!!

  • They're such smart arses almost every answer was bullshit

  • Does Paul have his head shaved here to make it look like he's balding?

    I just can't quite decide how in on the joke the presenter is here...

  • holy shit, paul mcdermott is so absurdly young in this clip!

  • It's a moment all Canberrans should be proud of... GO DA 'BRA!!! :)

  • In this footage Paul is still very much the shy catholic boy.

    Especially at 7:50 to 7:57. So cute with so many double-takes!

    LOL! <3

    Love the gorgeous face at 5:27. Cute little puppy dog eyes! XD
