Originally posted by Pentikonian Thanks, Pentikonian, for the memories - and Rest In Peace, Chrissie Amphlett.
They were a great pub band, and I remember being mesmerized by seeing her live. Some pleasant enough support bands would happen first, and then these guys would come on and suddenly there was an intensity to the evening!
A surfer chick originally, Chrissie was also a talented enough conventional artist that when the outfit broke up (the guitarist, her boyfriend at the time, was both a junkie and a control freak) she went on to play Hugh Jackman's mother in 'The Boy From Oz' stage show.
