Whats going on with them, anyone have any news on what they are doing. I was quite surprised they never had a New Years show anywhere.

Its been quite some time I need a fix. - Fri, 5 Jan 2007 11:09pm

Here, here!!! As far as I know, aren't they touring?!? I think Bonehead mentioned something to me about this. Of course, I could and probably am wrong. A show w/Keg Killers and The Remanes?!? Now, THAT would be very cool! Then again, we need more shows with Self Inflicted as well. - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 12:47am Edited: Sat, 6 Jan 2007 12:48am

Well you better go to the next show, cause they are one of the best live bands with one of the best catalogue of songs that I've ever had the privilige of mosh pitting to.
Don't wear your cashmere sweater though, cause once they start playing the beer starts a flying. - Sat, 6 Jan 2007 7:02pm

Opening for the Day Glos used to be one of the most disgusting, degrading experiences that a musician could ever wish on their worst enemy. I've had bottles and even chairs thrown at me by Day Glo fans who didn't want to sit through my band's "arty" set. Oh yeah, never lend 'em yer guitar, either... - Tue, 9 Jan 2007 2:05pm

I, or should i say we toured with the dayglo's and probably had the best time of our lives (as musicians anyway)and i've also lent murray my gear with no problems. of course the trip cost me my dignity among other things! these chaps are true punk rockers who have given more than one local band the chance to throw down in front of larger than local crowds just by letting them taqg along. - Wed, 10 Jan 2007 6:50am Edited: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 6:54am

Thats awsome, thanx for the reply man. Ive been searching for a copy of Out Of The womb for years im still convinced one day I will find it at some record store that has no idea what it is maybe Value Village for 50 cents that would be a miracle.

I can dream HaHaHa.

I still remember my first Dayglos show back in early 94 at the Cactus club I beleave it was called back then, ive been hooked ever since.

If anyone has any video tapes of thier shows I would love to see them. Hook me up.

Thanx again for the reply - Wed, 10 Jan 2007 7:24pm

Now if only the person that recorded thats stuff was reading this then maybe I could get my hands on some of those original tapes or a recording from them. - Fri, 12 Jan 2007 5:28pm

You could always ask Bonehead if he's willing to part with any footage (audio/video) (yep, good luck). Or try to find the Sydney punks picnic 2005 footage, someone on YouTube has so talk to them.

But what needs to happen is that the Dayglo's finally have to release a live album. - Sat, 13 Jan 2007 12:43pm Edited: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 11:12pm

Ive always beleaved that a band should record thier live albums at home. Victoria band Victoria recording. Could you imagine all of us on a video watching our favorite band.

We should organise a mass recording all of us with our video cameras some with audio recorders, im sure the band wouldnt mind and they probably know some people that could help us with editing and shit.

Recorded by the fans for the fans, it would have basic costs and im sure selling a very few at local Victoria music stores would cover that.

Its an idea that I think would work very well. - Wed, 17 Jan 2007 7:04pm

I was told that in the 80's Much Music had a video of the Dayglos they played, unfortunatly I have never been able to confirm this at all.

Is it true is thier a video or is it just some live video segment they aired.

thanx eh - Fri, 19 Jan 2007 3:37pm

I think it was around '87 or '88 that we all caked ourselves in Tammy Faye Baker makeup and loaded into the Belfry where the Dayglos did a vid for 'Here Today, Guano Tomorrow'.
I'm pretty sure it was the notorious Robin Sharpe, dressed in priestly vestments, who fed we, the Tammys, the sacramental host, as we meanwhile threw fake dollars at the band.
I only saw it once or twice just after filming but it was a beautiful thing. - Fri, 18 May 2007 3:05am

I actually don't know where to find video (I found Mission of Christ at Chek-6, and that was a fluke). But if I find it, I'll ask permission before I put it up on YouTube. I wanna also find the House of Commons videos that are out. - Sun, 1 Jul 2007 6:52pm Edited: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 6:52pm
