Press Reviews
An exert from the up-coming biography 'Orgasmatron and Pimple - still spankin the monkey' available in time for fathers day 2006. "It was one of those times in history.....an era of limitless possibility.Grudge was dead, finally put to rest and a youthful crowd of dreadlocked, PeelStreet, house swatters were waiting in anticipation for the next big thing. Kurt was gone but could a new anti-hero emerge from the chunks of brain tissue and rivers of blood scattered throughout the bitterly cold landscape of the mid 90s.It was still two years before those loveable 'Presidents of the United States' would charm the world with their songs about peaches and other related crap. This was the environment into which 'Orgasmatron and Pimple' first entered societies sub-conscious.......it was a nowhere, searching time. We were wedged firmly between the ass cheeks of 'smells like teen spirit' and something about a'little dune, dune buggy'. But between 1994 and 1996 those ass cheeks opened just wide enough to release a loud blurb, followed by a pungent odor. That blurb and resultant vile smell was ' Orgasmatron and Pimple'. For all the embarrassment, the cries of 'you can't say that on stage !!' and threats of legal action.....society wanted, even needed, sometimes demanded, a darn good sniff. We were for the boy in his mid-20s dogged by allegations of stalking,the out of town mis-fit who loved animals a little too much, the boy who preferred big women with nicknames like 'Chainsaw' and 'Lucky Grills' and even the local, tafe trained, accountant sick of political correctness. But the admiration of societies fringe dwellers only tells half the 'Orgasmatron and Pimple' story. For it was our ability to repulse a wide cross section of society that really lead to the cult following we enjoy today. For those two gigs between 1994 and 1996 and the 'bootlegged tape hysteria' that followed,'Orgasmatron and Pimple' managed to offend and remain largely unappealing to the following groups of people: Mothers (particularly our own), single mothers,lesbians, animal lovers, ugly chicks, the Queen, hippies, sound mixers, old people, the guy who wrote 'Cool for Cats' (long-dong contest unashameably steals the chord progression and melody), Pub owners (one tall lanky ex-cop in particular) and local Ballarat identities such as Steve Monagetti. In hindsight,l must admit, we even disgusted and offended ourselves on more than one occasion. Are we apologetic or even slightly remorseful about offending so many people, so often in our career? Well it would have been nice not to have offended ourselves during those years......and we do regret those occasions when our mothers found old song lyrics on screwed up bits of paper depicting group sex scenes with sheep and the like......sorry mums......but the rest of you parentally financed pseudo hippies and half-assed creative types (you know who you are) can tongue the brown of the ass from which 'Orgasmatron and Pimple' emerged.....and inhale deeper the vile, unpleasant odor that we, through backyard recordings and now Mp3 format, continue to disperse. THE FINAL WORD - By a music reviewer.In the year 2000 'Orgasmatron and Pimple' are still considered the mostinfluential 90s act to emerge from the highly depressing, somewhat mediocre Ballarat music scene. The song 'Spanking the Monkey' spent 17 hours in the'highly offensive' category of the top 200 German music charts. It could have climbed its way to the top of that chart except that 1995 was a particularly good year for 'neo-nazi' chants and songs depicting bloodshed amongst various ethnic groups. I hope you get as much enjoyment from 'Orgasmatron and Pimple' as l have. |
