Wet Taxis ‎– Taxidermy [Cass] (1981, Terse Tapes)

Louis Tillett's first band, The Wet Taxis, commenced life as an experimental outfit in the manner of fellow Sydneysiders Severed Heads and Scattered Order before taking on a tougher 1960s-influenced direction. Their classic debut single on the Hot label, 'C'mon' (1984), boasted an authentic garage / R&B sound heavily influenced by such American garage / punk bands as The Moving Sidewalks, We The People and The Chocolate Watchband, and the legendary Australian group The Atlantics (which originally issued the song as "Come On" in 1967).
