The Triffids live and interviewed in Italy, the broadcast date on the tape states February 1988, I am not sure if that is correct. Recorded on TDK E-HG E180, at Sp, mono audio. tape archive number 430. The Triffids were an Australian alternative rock & pop band, formed in Perth in Western Australia in May 1978 with David McComb as singer-songwriter, guitarist, bass guitarist and keyboardist. They achieved some success in Australia, but greater success in the UK and Scandinavia in the 1980s before disbanding in 1989. Their best-known songs include "Wide Open Road" (February 1986) and "Bury Me Deep in Love" (October 1987). SBS television featured their 1986 album, Born Sandy Devotional, on the Great Australian Albums series in 2007, and in 2010 it ranked 5th in the book The 100 Best Australian Albums by Toby Creswell, Craig Mathieson and John O'Donnell. Set list.

Decent footage finally of the oddest few days we spent as a band on a daytime TV show in Rome. Memories of our visit to Rome include being taken late at night on our arrival straight to the Vatican. This was the first of many misunderstandings our local guide Giovanni had in store for him. He actually came from Milan and we possibly knew more about Rome than he did. Even later that night we found ourselves at a restaurant that had no red wine. The animated kangaroo visuals were a bit of a shock but we were starting to feel quite prepared for strangeness. Dave put in a sterling performance not only in the songs but also the interviews. His response to the question about aboriginal influences in our music was perfect and all the while holding his translation device to his right ear. Solomon Burke appeared to distribute roses to the crowd, Steve got food poisoning but struggled manfully on trying to explain our needs and wants to Giovanni over in the corner. We had beautiful pasta in the canteen surrounded by glamorous presenters and women dressed as chickens. And we played pretty well. That was probably the last TV appearance of Rob's thinline Telecaster as it disappeared in the great Athens rock riot later in the year.

Brilliant! A big shout out to W.Minc Records, which Graham started in the 90s with "Handsome" Steve Miller of great Australian band The Moodists (and fuck, his little bar in Melbourne was an oasis, and sorely missed!). Try and get your hands on a copy of their label compilation Where Joy Kills Sorrow, you won't regret it. They championed some great local acts, Matt Walker & Ashley Davies being a fine example! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oryUhdSglbe5dnU.html

This nice Triffids live set was from 'D.o.c.'.. certainly the best music program ever made in italy and possibly all over the world. Something totally unrepeatable for the quality of the proposals and the productive effort by third channel (at the time the communist one) from italian public television..

@@ScottishTeeVee very good.. cheers! If you look at the label must be d.o.c. or d.o.c.g. (for guaranteed).. But I tell you something more about that show: it was directed by Renzo Arbore, a very famous showman, a dj, a singer and a musician. With Gianni Boncompagni changed the way to do radio in Italy between '60s and '70s (they took inspiration on pirate english radio). During the '80s Arbore did some of the most cult tv shows where revolutionized comedy in Italy. These programs born for the second evening had an incredible success becoming a real phenomenon of costume. He launched r'n'r in Italy already at the end of the fifties, beat in the sixties, promoted prog festivals in the seventies and winked at any novelty such as the new wave. In a backward and conservative place like Italy he was the classic character ten or twenty years ahead of the others..
