In November
1988, Australian television had an unlikely nude incident take place.
Unlike the Janet Jackson nipplegate saga, no costume malfunction took
place. ABC TV's youth programming flagship 'Blah Blah Blah'
featured Sydney noise group Lubricated Goat completely in the nude
(squashing the last remaining taboo on Australian Television male
nudity). The following days proved to be a bonanza for the media
giving mileage to radio shock jocks and tabloids alike. When all
the fuss had settled I managed to interview Lubricated Goat for a
fanzine I was running at the time. It was during this interview
that I heard Lubricated Goat's side of the nude appearance.
1: They were asked to appear nude 2: Maintained that they were
actually confused for another band 'No More Bandicoots', an act that
regularly appeared nude at their gigs. While I never got around
to releasing that fanzine, that story has always remained in my mind.
In 2002 I started a documentary that would bring the truth behind one
of the most bizarre moments in both Australian music and television
history. |
