The connecting factor here is Tex Perkins, but really we're talking about a hefty chunk of Australia's ugliest, least velvet underground. On Axeman's Jazz, the Beasts of Bourbon — Tex (vocals), Spencer Jones (guitar) and three past or present Scientists — play lazy, garagey nihilistic C&W with moderately straight faces. Highly Crampsian in feel, the material and restraint (not to mention prominent slide and scree guitar) invent a new category for the band, one that garnered a considerable worldwide indie following back in '84, particularly amongst chronic thrashaholics. (The live B-side added to the US edition features an alternate selection of Scientists.)

Salamander Jim posits Tex in front of a new band with similarly anti-social proclivities, making C&W just one facet of a mash rampant with James White/Brown-isms, jagged Beefheartian R&B and even a Stooge cop or three, adding up to a (short) LP that may not be original, but lurches and sputters to a peculiarly intriguing internal heartbeat.

At this point, things really begin to fragment and fester. Australia's Red Eye label caught a whiff of what the ex-Salamanders were doing and promptly formed Black Eye to isolate them from the rest of the species. Salamander Jim's Lachlan McLeod assembled Waste Sausage (and later Leather Donut), two dangerously inbred collections of real and spurious "bands" populated by former Jims and diseased cohorts playing brutal and scato-sexual music spanning the lizard lounge to the hardcore pit. Naturally uneven, the overall tone of disgust and DIY invests even the weaker tracks with a sense of place and purpose; the same sort of contextual value that makes Live at the Roxy a genuinely endearing historical document instead of just a s*ittily recorded live compilation.

One of the defining moments of Black Eye which completed its stance as an absurdist paradise was the release of the compilations ‘Waste Sausage’ & “Leather Donut’  compiled by Salamander Jim/Thug member Lachlan McLeod. Both compilations featured cover art from renowned Adelaide artist Ewan Cameron of Purple Vulture Shit / Egg N Burgers  Musically speaking, ‘Waste Sausage’ or “Leather Donut’ hardly represented anything of outstanding or of lasting quality. It does however give a glimpse into the collective Black Eye mindset. These collections contained an assortment of tracks ranging from home recordings (credited to certain aliases), outtakes and solo recordings. Nothing set the tone for the series more than the opening track to ‘Waste Sausage’ by Toe (Aka Chris Cashel of Purple Vulture Sh*t) titled ‘I’m Pregnant’.
