In the meantime here is late 80s/early 90s Adelaide punk band Clowns of Decadence - they were well known here and a bit in Melbourne so there's a chance another Aussie Music Banterer will know them. They had the demented clown/circus thing going way before there were jugalos and ICP were a thing.

[Edit - I just read the rules properly, looks like music has to be on youtube, which disqualifies a lot of my collection]

No it doesn't have to be on YouTube but it needs to be accessible to anyone who wants to make the effort, so in other words, if you can buy it online or hear it online (YouTube/Soundcloud/Bandcamp) or buy it in physical form (LP, DVD, CD, cassette etc) then it qualifies. If you can't put up a YT you don't have to; I just want anyone who can to do so. It's preferred for the thread but not an absolute requirement.

Know what would have been a better idea in the formulation of the rules? If you asked the forum to post their favorite material they considered obscure then you write a review on it, maybe a quick-and-dirty review. And then also ask if the song should remain obscure and forgotten or be more popular.

Song title + artist/band name
Trollheart's quick-and-dirty review.
Poll results of: Have you heard it before?
Poll results of: Should it be A. more well known or B. lost to the ages?

You can do both now, as the time for challenge for your original has passed and you're now on the leaderboard. :thumb:
