Still Listening 2024😊🤘

I've watched this so many times but I gotta say at 17 it didn't feel like it was about to trigger a seizure like it does now. Why is the director shooting her like that? She's not Quasimodo ffs. Light her properly we want to see her face.

They certainly had quite a few good tracks.

*The success of this song, along with Ratcat and other Underground bands right before Grunge happened, only proves that Australia was ahead of the curve regarding the popular tastes the world would come to know courtesy of Nirvana*

November 2024 the Suzie Higgie love is strong

If schoolteachers decided to become the new Go Betweens...

So many great indie bands then! Of course Ratcat were breakout stars, there were also the Hummingbirds, the Clouds, Underground Lovers.... Then a few years later it was all grungy shite like Grinspoon, and now... nothing!! Those were the days, my friend.

Looks like inside the Hopetoun Hotel

Such a great moment in Australian music :)

Punters Club, Melbourne, many times - they were amazing…

I’m a Pom who was in Aus early 90s on my way up to work in Thredbo. Saw these guys and the Clouds play in a venue in Canberra. Probably the best gig I’ve seen..

I met the band in Studios 301, maybe sometime in 89. Great people, excellent music. Of course, as a junior engineer in those studios at the time a combination of pretention and not wanting to look like a prat, I never said how much I loved their music. I doubt they remember me, we played pool for an hour or so. I don't even remember exactly what they were doing there, maybe Don Bartley was mastering a single or album. Anyway, sorry. I've listened to the singles for over 30 years, with a bit of a gap in the 90s before everything was on the internet. This is one of my favourite songs ever.

Awesome 👌

Strong shout for best song of the era. This and 'Bye Bye Pride' by The Go-Betweens IMO.

Saw them in Civic at the youth centre, must have been in 87 or so. They seemed like gods to me they were so good.

Omg I sort of forgot how much I loved this band how stupid of me they were brilliant

I absolutely love it. I heard it on satellite mix. Started with the Millions from NE and related artists.

Pretty much the soundtrack to late 80s inner city Sydney! Lived round the corner from the Hopetoun Hotel in a 3 story terrace, $88 per week between 4 of us. And why wasn't this song a massive hit?

Wow. I've never seen this version before. The most beautiful production in Aerial. Plus it has Devil Angels. Mattie, Bash and Laney love the Joys.

One incredibly special and amazing band

this band was extremely underrated. ❤ them along with Ratcat,Hummingbirds,Toys Went Berserk,Whippersnappers…great late 80s bands.

WTAF is that guitar?

LOve that song

Such a great lick

Whata a tune Sublime

This is the coolest band that ever exist

Ive got this on a cassingle, don't get jealous.

I used to go to all the Big Day outs just to see the Falling Joys and the Clouds.

My 17 yo son seriously loves this after he'd heard me playing it a few times, never asked about it, looked it up and now has it on his playlist and now of course i went off to look for a 7" copy that just arrived. My fave FJ's track ever!!!

This is stunning today. That guitar work. Brilliant, timeless band.

Takes me straight back to the Uni Bar in Canberra. Love it!

Heard this song in a Tower Records in NY in 1990. Bought the CD for this song. A few more good songs on it too. Loved this song then, still do!

A forgotten masterpiece.

Honestly has anyone ever done something better in sound and vision on a Coronado? Yeah I know Elvis mimed on one but this is something else

OMG I have been looking foir this song for most of my life. Thanks Triple J Hottest!

Perfect antidote any time you have been listening to musically competent but annoying boy rockers (thats almost all) , a band completely happy to be led by grounded but brilliant suzie

wish I could figure out the lyrics at the end (3:44 onward)... Not on any lyrics web sites!

This is so cool.

Want to give a nod here to the bassline which is busy and yet leaves lots of space. Very cool

RBT and higher cover charges killed the concept of "see band Saturday, buy CD Monday".

One for the guitar nerds. Love you playing that green wildwood Coronado Suze!!!

1000 of your views was me LOL

Never heard this song before... it's so beautiful. (Falling Joys were always in the background but i didn't listen at the time.)

Genius

Just heard this band tonight. Really good indie sounds, then sounds a bit poppy .Mind you, never did Blondie any harm. Will still listen to their punkier songs. The Clash never sold out!!!!!(CBS, LOL)

Someone help me out here. 35 years on and I still can't figure out what Suzie is singing in the chorus. Help me!!!

I heard the song Black Bandages on Rage one night when The Falling Joys were guest programing. The song was featured on their studio album from 1992 called Psychohum. Black Bandages was one of the few, if any, politically charged, anti-war songs written after Operation Desert Storm. I think this song has great merit as The Falling Joys dared to make a comment about the shocking effects of war on the innocent. The many thousands of women and children, the aged and infirmed caught in the cross fire and affectionally known as "collateral damage".🔥. The track has a great punk-rock feel, driving distorted guitars, fuzzed up bass, heavy drums, the Star Spangled Banner and voice samples from reporters, world leaders and war correspondents. Brave song. Great lyrics. Check it out!!!

Excellent. 👍

Still sounds good in 2023
