Bunga Bunga 65 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Bunga Bunga 65 finds Tim Ferguson and Maynard hard at work making Australia a better place by making sure they don’t get caught.

A pithy Bunga Bunga 65 finds Tim in a mood to tell off ABC legal while Maynard is puzzled at the amount of Barry Crocker records he seems to own.

They also answer the big questions about Tim’s burlesque career, Adelaide, Goth subculture, and what to wear to an insurrection.

Tim Ferguson (insurrectionist)

Victorian listeners will no doubt be especially excited about Tim’s public address to the people of Melbourne. In which he fingers some COVID malfeasance on the part of alleged hipsters.

The “large flightless budgie of New Zealand” that Tim mentioned he drew in this show was a Kakapo. See a less interesting drawing of the Kakapo here.

Goths used to be likeable, but now they’re just people who have a lot of Ann Rice novels.

RAT Party NYE 87/88 live on RAGE

Rage via VHS tape from possibly the only time it did a live outside broadcast. Maynard hosted Rage from 1987/88 RAT party in at Hordern Pavillion, Sydney goofing with the crowd.

Rage NYE live crosses from RAT Party, Sydney Hordern Pavillion 87/88.

The live cross at midnight has the Castanet Club in the background finishing their gig that night, then some New Year’s thoughts from the crowd, a run down the giant slide, a visit to an unimpressed DJ Tim Richie, then goodbye from the central dance floor at the Hordern Pavillion.

These all went to air between music clips played in back at ABC-TV at Gore Hill between 12-1am NYE 1987/88.
