THE CELIBATE RIFLES 'The Tugrid Miasma Of Existence' LP

$65.00

It seems that the Australian punk scene has seldom been more vital than it is today, with swathes of new bands emerging, and taking it to the world - Amyl and The Sniffers, The Chats, C.O.F.F.I.N and Civic to name just a few......

It might be a good time to take another look back at that particularly fertile mid-80s period, when bands touting a peculiarly Australian way of life were breaking out on the international stage, a distinctly inventive Aussie punk counterpoint to what was happening up on the Washington DC scene. Northern Beaches surf-bums The Celibate Rifles had already made their mark in their homeland with their first two albums on hip Darlinghurst label Hot Records. By 1986, the label had reached out to Rough Trade to give them an international release, which would soon result in their first overseas tour and, in the fullness of time, the recording of their international breakthrough album Roman Beach Party, (already reissued in deluxe form by Area Pirata). Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. Gatefold sleeve.
