I don't suppose there are any more of these CD's floating around somewhere?
I remember Hirst and Green did the same thing before their official release
and I missed out then too!

Hi Aliester (I can call you Al?)

The 'Angries' (but why are they Tradesmen?) put out a 5 track EP, "Beat
the House", a "pre-release EP" which was available at the Woodford Folk
Festival, north of Brisbane, last December. The full album is to be out
in 2008. The EP's tracks are:

1 My indecision is final 
2 Drug you're on
3 Big wave
4 Long grass people
5 Yeah right

The third track is my favourite - a high-energy surfie feel with a
relaxed refrain/middle eight (like the "Redneck Wonderland" single). 
When dancing to it at Woodford, several people up the front stopped,
caught their breath and wiped away the sweat at that point, before the
band threw us into the next verse. "Drug you're on" has one of the most
confrontational lyrics that I think I have ever heard on anything
outside death metal. "Yeah right" is a particularly good one to chew
over if you're in Brisbane, cycling down the riverside boardwalk,
amongst the new golden palaces and temples.
