Grong Grong
To Hell And Back (+dvd)
LAST COPIES.
Hailing from Adelaide, proto grunge outfit Grong Grong bludgeoned Australian audiences throughout 1983-84, with their
dark and aggressive take on punk rock. The band filtered its influences of Birthday Party, Cramps, Flipper and Pere Ubu
through a suburban Australian mindset... sounding like
no-one before or since. In 1983 they supported the Dead Kennedys and impressed frontman Jello Biafra so much they became
the first and only Australian band to release an album on Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label. This deluxe reissue on
the much acclaimed Australian archival label, Memorandum features the bands postumously released 1986 self titled
LP, plus rare studio demos, expanded live cuts and nuggetty rehearsal tapes. All tracks have been digitally remastered
from
original source tapes and are available for the first time on CD. The package also contains a DVD with concert and
rehearsal footage, displaying the band in all their noisy, chaotic glory.
Presented in a deluxe gatefold wallet with a detailed booklet stuffed with liner notes photos and original art - this
will be a highly desirable package for fans of this extremely influential, band and and connoisseurs of the Australian
underground scene of the 70s-80s.
