Smudge - Stash (Live in Sydney) | Moshcam

Smudge performing Stash live at Metro Theatre in Sydney on 21 September 2011

Smudge was formed in 1991, initially only to contribute a song, "Tea, Toast & Turmoil", to the 1991 Half A Cow 7" compilation, Slice (along with Swirl, Jupiter and Studley Lush). The band went on to record a 7" single, "Don't Want To Be Grant McLennan", which was soon made John Peel's record of the week. On the back of this success, several more releases followed, then in 1994 bassist Paul 'Duncs' Duncan left the band to complete his business studies degree and was replaced by bassist, Adam Yee (ex-Headache).

During 1997-1998 the band had two guitars in line-up - Pete Kelly (ex-Disneyfist, Sea Life Park, Decoder Ring) joined the band on second guitar and helped record the album, Real McCoy, Wrong Sinatra.

From late October 1999 till 2002 the band went on an extended hiatus while drummer Alison Galloway went trekking across the world.

The band re-united for a limited number of performances in Sydney and Melbourne at the end of 2004.

Smudge have recently playing together again. In October 2008 they performed at the inaugural Sounds of Spring Festival in Brisbane which was followed by two performances in Melbourne the following weekend. In November and December 2010 they supported The Lemonheads on an Australian tour playing all thirteen songs from the 1992 album It's a Shame about Ray, plus a selection of songs from other albums. Tom Morgan and Alison Galloway played with Dando in the encore performance of The Outdoor Type. Smudge performed as part of the lineup for the 2011 Big Day Out Festival in Sydney, Australia.

Man, you kids are underrated compared to others underrated.
The catalogue you had from the '90s onward was/is sensational.
I think nine × albums and EPs.
World Class.

Is that Al Gal on drums? I guess it must be. The drumming is spot one - she looks great, is great to watch - cheerful and she just makes it for me.

If Alison wasn't cute, this band would have nothing. Out of tune guitars/singing, bad drumming, some good songs (not this one) executed badly.
