Little band scene
The Little Band scene is the name given to an experimental post-punk scene which flourished in Melbourne, Australia, from 1978 until early 1981.〔Knowles, Julian (2008). "Liminal Electronic Musics: Post-Punk Experimentation in Australia in the 1970s-1980s". ''Proceedings 'Sound : Space', Australasian Computer Music Conference, 2008'', Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney. p. 40-41〕 This scene was concentrated around the inner suburbs of Fitzroy and St Kilda, and was characterised by large numbers of short-lived bands, more concerned with artistic expression than mainstream success. The bands played in small inner-city venues, often pubs, and their music was recorded live and broadcast by Alan Bamford on community radio station 3RRR. In the scene, the distinctions between performers and audience were blurred; many of the people in the audiences at shows were either in bands or ended up forming such.
==History==
The Little Band scene got its name from "Little Band nights", gigs organised in Melbourne by members of Primitive Calculators. Originally they were bands made up of members of the Calculators, Whirlywirld and friends, and acted as support bands for the Calculators, Whirlywirld and The Boys Next Door. The Calculators and Whirlywirld lived next door to each other in a split terrace and had rehearsal spaces in each house. By using the Calculators' and Whirlywirld's equipment, it made it easier to practice and set up for the night. These bands often had a charming disposable quality, happy to play once or twice and then form other "little bands". This was often a result of the bands being composed of non-musicians enjoying the opportunity to realise their naive musical ideas. One journalist described their output as "sloppy, clangy and discordant. By turns, they could sound equally fantastic: a mixture of epileptic drum machine rhythms, stabbing synth lines and creepy/witty lyrics making for oddly compelling results."〔Potts, Adrian (2008). ("Big and Ugly: Primitive Calculators on Kick-starting the "Little Band" Scene" ), ''Vice Magazine''. Retrieved on 5 October 2010.〕 Some in the scene had received proper training in electronic music and composition, including members of Whirlywirld, who studied under Melbourne-based composer Felix Werder.〔
A local record shop owner, Max Robenstone of Climax Records and Alan Bamford, who recorded and mastered the Primitive Calculators' self-titled LP, paid for the pressing of the ''Little Bands'' EP in 1979, featuring Morpions, Ronnie and the Rhythm Boys, The Take and Too Fat to Fit Through the Door. The recording was paid for by band members. It grew from there and began to take on a life of its own. At later nights, up to ten hastily assembled bands would play for fifteen minutes each. The scene flourished from 1978 until early 1981. Several lasting musical partnerships were forged in the scene; Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry went on to achieve international acclaim as Dead Can Dance. The little bands interacted with other distinct post-punk scenes in Melbourne, including the Clifton Hill Community Music Center, an experimental arts space based at the "The Organ Factory" in Clifton Hill, and the St Kilda scene centered at the Crystal Ballroom, spearheaded by The Boys Next Door (later known as The Birthday Party), The Moodists, and Crime and the City Solution. After the Calculators and Whirlywirld left town for Europe and London in early 1980, the Little Band scene centred on the shared spaces of The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies and Use No Hooks.
The first phase—up to the departure of the Calculators and Whirlywirld—was documented on an unreleased double LP, ''No Sin Like Dancing'', that is catalogued in Clinton Walker's book ''Inner City Sound''.〔(Australian Post-Punk: 1976 to 1981 Discography ).
