Speaker 3: All right?

21
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 2: Collect Runderway one of the quintessentially Australian rock bands and.

22
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 3: One of my favorites.

00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of my and until I saw the Cat

00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,440

00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: sorry you are now second to the Cat and Pire.

26
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: But that's a story.

27
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: I did go, and I was going to say, Stork,

28
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: you did go and follow them around a few gigs

29
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: around birth and you.

30
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: I think it was nineteen eighty six and they Caged Town.

31
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: It was the Human Frailty album You Don't make Me

32
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: Feel like I'm a woman Anymore. Highlight of the concert

33
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: always to see you five thousand eighteen year old boys

34
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: jumping up and down, punching the.

35
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: Pudging the air, singing that. It was always so cute.

36
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: Anyway, I digress the Human Frailty album where they had

37
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: the big horn section.

38
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and brought them all.

39
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: With them, played about five gigs and I think I

40
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: went to four of them, and yes, it borderlined was storkery.

41
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but it was great.

42
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: When you're up the front row and Mark singing she

43
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: had your skin and let's get started. You were right

44
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: there with him and one of the great lyrics, isn't it?

45
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: And any song?

46
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: Yes, and a very handsome front man still is.

47
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember interviewing Kate Sabrano once and being a

48
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: Melbourne resident. She used to talk about how one Mike

49
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Seymour used to run pas past her place in the

50
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: nineties and she goes always a fit, little nuggeting.

51
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: It was very nuggeting, uggy, not tall, but he's in proportion.

52
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, his brother's a bit taller. His brother Nick plays

53
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: in in Crewded House, but very passionate man, and as

54
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: he's gotten older, he's mellowed a bit because Mark was

55
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: always they he's always very full on.

56
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: Very serious nuggety.

57
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: As Kate summed it us yea and personally personally well

58
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: he was it was yeah, it took me.

59
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. He took his songwriting very seriously as well.

60
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: But you can some damn good songs heartfelt. Look, what

61
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: was talking to a stranger? Was that the first one

62
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: video clip sort of a bit weary focussy dancing by

63
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: a railway line, remembering.

64
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: Correctly bringing back a memory watching late night TV.

65
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: And it was fantastic, But then that, you know, there

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 2: was that, and I felt like it flew a little

67
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: under the radar until then that you know.

68
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: I love say Goodbye. It was a great puppe rock

69
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: song of Australian music. But they were also seeing a

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: bit yeah almost like it yeah, almost like a alternative

71
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: band in you know, pop rockers are concerned. But they

72
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: had their loyal following which just grew. And then Human

73
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: Frailty was the album that took them over the.

74
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 2: Top, and they had a one of those great sing

75
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: along songs in throw Your Arms around Me, which everyone

76
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: knew the words. Spent a lot of time debating exactly

77
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: what those four places that he was going to kiss

78
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: you in were.

79
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: There all sorts of options.

80
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: There were a few options here, maybe something, maybe it

81
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: changed from time to time. I do remember last time

82
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: we talked to Mark and he talked about their great

83
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: relationship he's had in recent times with James Rain and

84
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: doing gigs, and especially during COVID where Muzo's Barnsy did

85
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: as well where they'd do gigs and I think their's

86
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: was in his garage or James garage. You would never

87
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: have thought back in the day that ever there'd be

88
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: a time when James Rain from Ossie Crawl and Maximo

89
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: from Hunters Collectors would play gigs together because they were

90
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: very different bands. They were all surfy kind of band

91
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: and a more light when you think about He.

92
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: Crawl, I think for both of us it's those say

93
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: goodbye arms, those songs that we love for a lot

94
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: of for another generation of Hunters fans, it's all about

95
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: that Holy Grail, which became very much the you know,

96
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: the AFL Grand Final anthem. It became the anthem and

97
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: I mean they are good. There are anthemic bands, and

98
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: Hunters is definitely one of those anthemic bands. And I

99
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: don't I feel like they've never really shied away much

100
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: from touring. Occasionally Mark was just on his own and

101
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: then he'd get the rest of them together again because

102
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: it was a big band. At times his current band,

103
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: there'd be a core, you know group, but there was

104
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: that you know, like I said, that huge horn section.

105
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: His current lineup includes Peter Maslin or Mass as they

106
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: call him. He was the drummer and Boom Crash Opera. Yeah,

107
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: And when we spoke to Mark a few months ago and

108
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: he said he was wearing a Boom Crash Opera t shirt.

109
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: Quite often the muss or grab whatever's around, but I

110
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty cool.

111
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: Their coach Town later this year and playing at the

112
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Freemantle Prison, did he say to us that they were

113
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: he was bringing all the horns?

114
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: Not sure, but it'd be disappointed.

115
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Willly obsessed with Mark Simol's horns. If you haven't noticed

116
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: a bit horn your music, I've talked about it, Michael

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: also says extensively.

118
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Michael also says it was he was a very proud

119
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: bloke to be the guy who wrote a song that

120
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: could have a thousand or two thousand blokes in a

121
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: pub singing. You know, made me feel like I'm a

122
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: woman anymore. He said that that was one of those

123
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: moments where there that was my favorite.

124
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: But it was always so funny because it was always,

125
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: you know, a bunch of eighteen year old boys.

126
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I nearly ran over him when I'm when.

127
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: I moved deliberately to give him out the mouth.

128
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 3: We'll see, this is what would have happened. I would

129
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: have been accused of deliberately running over.

130
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 1: Dancer. Time is over. He's a fit, little nugged

131
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: Bloody six FM Clezi and Lisa
