''The Beasts of Suburban'' is a 1992 EP by anonymous Australian band TISM. The title is pun on the name of another Australian band, Beasts of Bourbon. TISM's producer for this album, Tony Cohen, previously worked with Beasts of Bourbon. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1993, he was nominated for Producer of the Year for the track, "Get Thee to a Nunnery".〔 Note: User may be required to access archived information by selecting 'The History', then 'By Award', 'Producer of the Year' and 'Option Show Nominations'.〕 This is the first TISM release to feature Tokin' Blackman on guitar, having replaced Leek Van Vlalen. ==Track listing== On the cassette version of the EP, the same program is repeated on both sides of the tape. The silence on Mourningtown Ride was reduced to one minute in the Collected Recordings version. On the rerelease with the Australia the Lucky Cunt EP, the silence was moved to the end of "Recorded by JJJ, 23/01/93, Melbourne Showgrounds" with Loser, Losing, Lost merged to the track, giving it a total length of 11:53. == Controversy == Feminist groups in Australia criticized TISM as sexist for their use of Sophie Lee in Get Thee to a Nunnery from the EP Beasts of Suburban. The song allegedly protests the use of sex to sell a product via Lee's appointment as a presenter on Australia's Channel 9 Looney Tunes cartoon show, which is infamous for her often highly suggestive wardrobe: "Urban myth has it that middle-aged men used to rush home from work in time to watch Sophie throw to Bugs Bunny cartoons." Lee described it as "a boring song by a boring bunch of bourgeois boys." 〔(Green Left Online -…and ain't i a woman?: No to a nunnery ). (article) Published: 9 September 1992.
