about

This project has been created by original members of the Little Bands scene and others, to document this unique Melbourne post-punk underground music phenomenon and fulfil the wishes of Little Bands stalwart Alan Bamford, who spent many hours recording the Little Bands in 1980, and then played these live tracks on his graveyard shift at community radio 3RRR FM.

Releasing these tracks as a double CD was a dream project that Alan had long attempted to turn into a reality, but unfortunately it never came to fruition before his untimely passing in 2019.

But now, a group of dedicated individuals are taking the required action to honour the memory of Alan with the release of these live recordings on both LP and digital download.

The vinyl album is released by Fantastic Mess Records and consists of forty minutes of live recordings.

The collection continues here with an additional two+ hours of tracks.
