Desperate Times for The Oblivians

Once upon a time The Oblivians were the kings of underground garage rock. Ask those who dig their tunes, and many will say they’re still the kings. Formed out of Tennessee, the band’s original run was between 1993 and 1998 and with their blues-infused garage punk they inspired a new wave of down ’n’ dirty garage bands. Since they separated in the late ‘90s, reunion shows have popped up here and there but that has been about it. Now, however, things are going great guns, and the band will finally make their way to our shores next year. They haven’t been out this way before, so happy times are here at last. The Barwon Club, Geelong – March 9. Desperation is their latest release.
