Reviews and Comments
Submersive Behaviour is our favorite Australian art-punk combo’s take on the tried and true “covers record” concept. Over the course of 36 minutes, TFS puts their deranged spin on classics by Jimi Hendrix, Middle Aged in the Middle East in the Middle Ages, Men Men Menstruation, Compliments to the Chef, and The Stooges.
Guest starring their old kangaroo mates and collaborators Dan Kelly, the Bard of Beenleigh and Aaron Cupples, the Earl of East Gippsland on octopus like strings-man-ship, falsetto and apocalyptic vibes.
Melbourne, Australia’s Tropical Fuck Storm today released their 17-minute cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “1983…(A Merman I Shall Turn to Be),” the final single previewing their new EP, Submersive Behaviour, out tomorrow via Joyful Noise Recordings. Premiering the "epic" via FLOOD Mag, singer/guitarist Gareth Liddiard describes it as "an attempt to right the recent wrongs perpetrated against Hendrix's classic ‘Angel’ by some idiot from One Direction doing a karaoke-style ‘tribute’ for Jimi's 80th birthday.” TFS aptly pay homage to the psychedelic guitar god with a faithful rendition that takes an acid trip nose dive into another dimension and returns to earth for a thrilling conclusion.
With a 36 minute run-time, Submersive Behaviour is Tropical Fuck Storm’s take on the tried and true “covers record” concept. The Hendrix cover features Liddiard (vocals/guitar/drums), Erica Dunn (vocals), Fiona Kitschin (vocals), Lauren Hammel (drums) and guest stars old comrades Dan Kelly (bass, guitar vocals) and Aaron Cupples (bowed spring, mixing). TFS then put their deranged spin on classics by The Stooges, Middle Aged in the Middle East in the Middle Ages, Men Men Menstruation, and Compliments to the Chef. “1983…(A Merman I Shall Turn to Be)” follows last fall’s release of their cover of The Stooges “Ann.” Pre-order Submersive Behaviour here.
