Bodyjar
Thu 07 Aug
The Hi-Fi BRISBANE
What is punk? Goddamn that’s a question that causes some fights eh!? For some, its the clothes you wear. For others, the clothes you avoid wearing. Straight Edge, Hardcore, Crust, the dreaded Pop Punk – who gives a xxx! For me it was always and will always be about living life. Seeing your country and weird lands that abound overseas. It was a way of getting paid (haha well, some times) to travel and drink, with your best friends in the world. Singing songs about why that girl doesn’t dig you the way you dig her, and just having a crowd, or even just one person singing along. Making that connection with strangers who become friends.
I have shared tour buses, shitty vans, hotel room floors, and even couches in my own house with Bodyjar. I remember once standing around with them and realizing we were all wearing Dickies shorts, band tee’s, Vans sneakers and wallet chains while of course drinking slab after slab of beer. That was the 90′s. That magical, mythical, barely-just-memorable decade where everything just seemed to fall into place. Small bands got bigger, got to record with their heroes and even play along side them.
For the guys I shared a floor with so many times, Bodyjar went on to sell hundreds of thousands of records worldwide (including the gold selling How It Works album) tour the world countless times and live out all of their boyhood dreams. And they did it all while being themselves and not conforming. They still to this day play their shows like it’s a party – friends are always welcome to share a beer from their riders and their loyal following doesn’t need to be asked more than once to join in the party with Bodyjar as the iconic Australian punk rock soundtrack.
