The We Don’t Care quiz returned briefly to only ask questions from 1988 – 1992 for some reason.
Expect questions about The Pixies (which no one got correct, shame) Kylie Minogue and Melrose Place of course.
Join Maynard, Richard Saunders and Anderson for some non intellectual Easter fun.

The We Don’t Care Quiz will make your Good Friday a very Good Friday with a video livestream that no one will be proud off in the morning.
Join Maynard, Richard Saunders, and inflatable hippo Anderson Cooper as we test your knowledge things you really shouldn’t have remembered in the first place.

Join us live at 8.30pm Friday night here
If you have any trouble with the We Don’t Care Quiz, you have our answer already.
The Newcastle fringe Festival this year will damage your undies. That’s a good thing.
The Friday night combo of OMGWTF Show and Bettie Bang Bang Variety Show was a less than dressed spectacular.
Saturday night the People’s republic of Newtown will have the talents of Kate, Action Ant and Maynard on display as Madd Club returns to The Moshpit. This gig will not be live streamed like the last one, so you actually have to leave your house this time.
It’s $10 on the door, which will be open from 7.30pm and they’ll take you through to Midnite. The capacity is limited to 50 and that includes us three, so be early.
Plus a new innovation in the history of public entertainment. You will receive a ticket on entry to maybe win a “seemingly lucky door prize”.
More 80s sounds (with a bit of 70s & 90s to fulfil the Newtown diversity charter) that you expect from Madd Club an a few interpretive dances, performed poorly.
See you there!
A peekaboo at what we did last time

Guests this month include Action Ant, Queen Kate, Tim Ferguson and DJ Campbell Drummond (What Double J Should Sound Like).

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.

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.

Maynard’s Mastermind returns as the We Don’t Care Quiz to suit the awkward zeitgeist that 2021 will become. (Trigger warning, two German words appear in this 50 minute show)
Join Maynard, Richard Saunders, and inflatable hippo Anderson Cooper as we test your knowledge of Australian retro music up to 1998.
Questions on everything from Aunty Jack to The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Dickhead. What could be more Australian than that?
If you have any issues with the We Don’t Care Quiz, you have our answer already.
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.
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.
