Tickets remain for Oblivians’ show at The Barwon, Geelong on March 9. How could that be?! Formed in 1993 by Greg Cartwright and Jack Yarber, then members of garage-rock outfit Compulsive Gamblers, and Eric Friedl, the band wrote the majority of their debut album over the first weekend following their decision to play together. After a few crazy years, the band parted ways in 1998 before deciding to regroup in 2012. Desperation marks their return. The Guardian: “Back together, 16 years after releasing their last album, Oblivians prove age is no barrier to howling garage rock’s teenage cry of lust … Fourteen songs in 31 minutes, and every moment a thrill.”
