Did you see them at the final night of the Punters Club? That was fucking glorious!

my word. dan and al, rocket science, the dead's. what a sunday!

Saw these guys once. They were good live.

gets nostalgic

i loved these guys

Hap and Ryda play around every now and then still. they may be playing in a couple of weeks. will keep ya posted. Hap's now in a band called the Underminers, very good also but not quite as ramshackle as the Deads could be

Kirsty Hand Hell has a video of theirs. Never watched it...might do so out of this sense of nostalgia.

there's some great old stuff on youtube

Is that footage shot by Rex Hardware?

sure is. rexy's been busy dusting off some old ballarat footage and putting it online.

i'm sure you remember Lenny,the drummer from the Dead's. he's been putting some hilarious video's up also.

The crafty little bastard. But he is the archivist to end them all. He should release a DVD of all the Waterstock footage he's collected.

Now I have a Dead Salesmen song stuck in my head.

x-post, I was tawking about Rex, not Lenny.

i agree, I been buggin him to release some of that old stuff on CD at least. A Deads live CD would be splendid to say the least.

He's got the technology!

amazing band. I saw their final ever gig at the Bridge Mall Inn in Ballarat back in 02. Unbelievable.

that was great. sound was a bit much though, could hardly hear hap. way too loud.

was still tops tho. best thing for me about those nights is catching up with everyone is as much fun as the band.
good times!!

Hap and Freya Hollick doing a Paddy O''Driscoll/Hayward number. Is nice

Hap is trying to raise some moolah to self-publish a real book of his lyrics from the past 20 odd years - salesmen, nulty grips, underminers, and everything in between. Go here to contribute or even just to watch the rather amusing appeal video.

Watching that just made my day 101 times better. Will Hap & Ryder be playing in your backyard jimmy?

gosh he loves that Elvis Knit jumper!
