The Moodists – Double Life [12''] (1985, Red Flame)

The Moodists were a Melbourne, Australian post-punk band that formed in 1980, when Dave Graney, Clare Moore and Steve Miller of punk group Sputniks moved from Adelaide to Melbourne. They added bass player Chris Walsh and later added guitarist Mick Turner. After recording two singles and a six track EP for the Au Go Go label in Melbourne they relocated to London.
 
They then recorded the albums 'Thirstys Calling' (1984) and 'Double Life' (1985), a nice mix of Captain Beefheart with the post-punk of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. The band supported Public Image Limited on their 1984 tour of Australia, along with punk band Box of Fish. They returned to Australia in 1985 for six months (Turner quit and reconvened his earlier group Fungus Brains; he would later form Dirty Three) and then travelled again to the UK. During this time they toured extensively through Northern Europe and also made a short tour of the United States.
