They Might Be Giants

Mr John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants speaks to us from the bustling borough of Manhattan. John and John will be touring Australia in November and would be chuffed if you go to see them. Mr Flansburgh discusses guitars, their upcoming releases and the staying power of the cassette tape.

Bunga Bunga 19 Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Bunga Bunga returns! After a few months off, Tim Ferguson has some explaining to do. Maynard is feeling sad, Tim tries to cheer him up by announcing the end of the world. The Muppets lead to a heated debate. They answer your questions and discuss love, loss and Spaceballs. By the end of Bunga Bunga 19 you will have learned nothing, but you will be a little bit wiser. Look out for Bunga Bunga at the Doug Anthony All Stars Sydney shows next week, if you’re there we’d love you to be part of the next show. Bring your Tim’s Historical Hypothetical or just plain old Crankmail with you for what is sure to be two nights that will go down in history as a turning point to something.

Inside and Outside the Kiss Sydney Concert

Maynard with Kiss fans outside Sydney concert.

Kiss played Sydney on Saturday, and just the Kiss stage show is larger than life, so are their fans. Out the front of the arena were three generations of fans, dressed and made up, ready for the huge night it was.

Even “The Elder”, a lesser appreciated Kiss offering got a mention.

And we finally got the definitive answer as to why Gene Simmons is such a legend.

Which explains why this story comes with a language warning.

Bunga Bunga 18 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

This show is ribald and NSFW.

Maynard and Tim wonder who the real men are, without the help of Joe Jackson, but with the help of Sting’s underpants in Dune and a Zebra penis. Tim reads out a list of 80s singers he has a problem with. You may be here for a while…

Live at Maynard International Studios (annexe)

Maynard and Richard

A test of Periscope, live from Maynard International Studios (annexe). Who is Maynard’s favourite 80s band (today) and just what is the best episode of Lost In Space ever made? By the end of this video, you will have learned nothing, but you will be wiser.

Gene Simmons Interview 1990

Maynard interviews Gene Simmons in 1990. Gene was producing tracks for Doro Pesch at Fortress Studios in LA that day. Gene Simmons talks about the worst Kiss gig, how many cars he needs and how long the beach Boys could stay alive in New York City.

Brian Canham talks Pseudo Echo

Two interviews with Mr Brian Canham from 2008 and 2010, in which Brian talks about his career with Pseudo Echo and his hair. He explains his “artistically shaped lyrics” and a few of the artistically shaped cars he has owned (that broke down in very unartistic ways). Is he still Listening? Does he still Love An Adventure? How much fun was producing Chocolate Starfish? Brian Canham solves many of your Pseudo Echo issues.

Maynard live from Goros

Toho Nights is Jay Katz latest night in Surry Hills, Sydney. He brings a touch of Tokyo with his sounds and videos. Maynard was invited along to do his thing and they both dressed well for a night of music that Maynard is proud of. There is a complaint about the Human League, but Maynard will not hear a word against any New Romantic.

Maynard rocks the Painters & Dockers

The interview starts off well, with Maynard referring to the legendary band as the Painters Dickers, which could absolutely only be a cue card typo and definitely not a crass moment from the usually chaste Maynard.

This is no ordinary sit-down interview; instead you will find an action-packed rollercoaster, perfectly recreating the experience of Melbourne’s legendary Painters & Dockers playing Sydney for the first time in 25 years at The Factory on Saturday 8th August. Maynard got up, played his trombone with them and spoke with the band, and captured the excitement of what was a blustery night of Dock Rock.

This show is lewd and contains ribald language.
