Harem Scarem (Christopher Marshall & Charlie Marshall)
Arguable one of the greatest Australian live bands (bar none) & one of the greatest vocalists; albeit the band was shortlived. Notwithstanding, the band itself later became a âwhoâs whoâ of nigh on legendary musicians, including Charlie, Chris Wilson, Barry Palmer etc.
Playing crazy & wild live shows on the back of the Dogman ep (1984) that was rough, raw & bluesy. Chris was, at an early age, a master performer with a voice that belied his young years. He and the band were simply captivating.
Full ep here
(It is âroughâ, yet still one of my all time fav releases - the vinyl I cherish)
Alas, all of their recorded output could never capture the raw energy of their live shows, which to this day have beomce storied and almost written into folklore.
Hard Rain (1986)
(Their only official video)
Note - not sure what theyâve done to the sound here: "Now remastered and with enhanced vision correction,"but it sounds off.
Life courses various paths and it wasnât long after that Chris left the band & Charlie made a final Harem Scarem album that really was a departure and that was it.
Chris left the band to become a University lecturer and Charlie I came across doing his PhD, whilst I was still an undergrad.
Charlie, albeit sporadic remained in the industry, whilst Chris literally left the industry for years.
Fast forward to now & Chris is back. Itâs not quite the band that was, but his voice is still there, perhaps not as powerful.

Beck
Old Man (9 Dec, 2022)
No idea as yet if Beck plans on doing an entire covers album or for that matter his motivation for this cover. It sounds great, just that itâs virtually a complete copy of the original, albeit without Uncle Neilâs vocals, so Iâm hearing no originality in this cover - for some a good thing, others perhaps not so!

@UliR Youâre not wrong, if I was listening to that on the radio I would be thinking that was done mostly on synthâs.

I couldnât only post one of these performances from GusGus, both recorded in a hostel in Iceland for KEXP but a few years apart. I stumbled onto them on YouTube a few years ago and have gone deep down the GusGus rabbit hole since then. Even if you donât like Electronic music, the first is well worth a listen IMO. I wish Iâd been in that roomâŚ

Very jealous! I need to get to a show next time they are in London.
Their live stream âMobile Home: Liveâ concert during lockdown was great, I wish theyâd sell it for re watching

If there is a chance, go and see them. Their live sound is fantastic, warm and like playing an analogue recording. And in fact they partly use very old equipment which indeed is analogueâŚ
