Screamfeeder – Mixtape Sessions - Studio 188

Studio 188 and Arts Queensland present…

It's kind of hard to believe, but another milestone has ticked over for Brisbane indie legends Screamfeeder – it's now 25 years since their landmark album Rocks On The Soul was released. And to celebrate, they're releasing it on double vinyl, and of course, going on tour. Because, well, that's what they do.

It's been a long and strange journey from those humble beginnings in Brisbane in 1991, to the revered status that Screamfeeder now enjoys. The scrappy little three-piece has become an iconic symbol of the time in which Australian music came of age, became the soundtrack of a generation, and came to symbolize an unprecedented golden era.

Recently Screamfeeder has been celebrated with a full-length documentary, a book about their seminal 1996 album Kitten Licks, and an ongoing reassessment of their massive significance to the Brisbane music scene. None of which has changed anything for the band, who continue to chart their own course, navigating by some invisible stars.

Screamfeeder don't really play by anyone else's rules. They exist, they persevere, they triumph. The fans know though, and they joyously celebrate this most idiosyncratic band that, however improbably, seem to get better with age. Old school? Hell yeah, and proud of it. Since 1991…

Screamfeeder will be supported by The Blankettes
