Hunters & Collectors - The Slab (Official Video)

[@EvadXocliw]

This song’s got balls. It almost has a punk-ish vibe to it. I love how when you first hear it you don’t know where it’s taking you. Hearing this makes me miss when bands were willing to be daring and original. Man, I miss the 80’s.

[@DwainDwight]

one of the all time great bass lines, top film clip. very creative band.

[@davidcochrane2739]

Always loved the sharpy dance!

[@bunchank]

my favorite hunters song. Brings back great pub band memories from the 80s

[@extremeconcepts1]

Beers, Melbourne, VFL...great guitar sounds....

[@mfactor88]

Australias most original, underrated band EVER m52

[@surfinmuso37]

The best song ever written about cunnilingus. Man they used to rock this at The Old Greek Theater in Richmond.

[@surfinmuso37]

@Collin Klich Lol...no, i don't think they ever made it to southern USA....not that i know of. Richmond Victoria Australia!

[@annaforehan7784]

@@surfinmuso37 The fact that you spelled theatre the American way probably misled him!

[@zinna14214]

Best bass line. Killer !!!

[@davidhines68]

That rhythm guitar. Ohmigod, that rhythm guitar.

[@markcarboon7008]

Love the video clip. Classical Oz culture from the 80's.

[@thomasheuer1916]

Peak Hunters and Collectors

[@Mrcurlywhirly]

These guys were great, really experimental in the early days. First time i saw them they were supporting the Stranglers, the huge brass section just kept filing on stage, blew the Stranglers away on the night.

[@Geekman333]

Yep...that's the eighties as I remember them. Great to See Mark wearing a Vic State of Origin singlet.

[@pixiepqueen]

such an under rated band.. they were massive.. incredible live sound.

[@olsinbad6815]

The X influence on this one is undeniable, I love that, this has a private school X vibes. the bands are closely linked.

[@MrMusicfan88]

Well said ... Ian Rilen is all over it

[@phildoyle8263]

Best performance by South Morang in a music video.

[@residentenigma7141]

I was wondering. Who were the other mob ?

[@phildoyle8263]

@ Eltham. Diamond Valley Football League. Early eighties my guess bc shorts and dust from the 80-83 drought

[@phildoyle8263]

@@residentenigma7141 I still remember how hard the grounds were!

[@saoriley]

That was brilliant !!! Thanks for putting up the video and rekindling all those memories. Those dance scenes in the bar are priceless !!

[@potstars1]

Love the old school ACTU Solo petrol station at the beginning of this clip...

[@denysemcalister7082]

How good was this song live back in the day? Such good memories

[@RuthlessTVAustralia]

One of my favourite H&C tracks plus the Sharpie's make it so rad!

[@phildoyle8263]

How good is that film clip!

[@extremeconcepts1]

This song needs a 2020/21 cover....would love to see it redone and video to accompany it...

[@glendavidson7975]

First live band I ever saw, Jet Club Coolangatta, 86. Still shit hot

[@KevKavanagh]

Was at that one too. Almost certainly went to the legendary pie shop across the road afterwards.

[@jessewilkins3943]

love this bass line

[@extremeconcepts1]

1:51 who hasn't done this with a bunch of mates...and ya barrister!

[@extremeconcepts1]

This music video is fucking gold...we need to bring back aussie antics like this again - bands like the Chats and others are trying

[@TheDirge69]

Anyone see the Hunters at Seaview Ballroom St kilda? Awesome gig Thanks Paul and Donnie !!

[@glenwaverley23]

Yes I did. Was that with the Painters and Dockers?

[@tylerdmore9372]

Ha, remember the dogs of war...

[@susangirling5322]

We saw them one New Years Eve at the Seaview Ballroom back on the early eighties.

[@erlstone]

yep... amazing... mezmerising shows

[@wazclunes]

It's the sharpy dance. Very big in the suburbs in the 70s

[@onyachamp]

it's like the golden mile, just look at all that precious metal.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

I've had to pause this song 7 times now.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

8!

[@Dick67]

@@pineapplepenumbra are you checking out landmarks, or getting those dance moves down? That dance always had me intrigued

[@pineapplepenumbra]

@@Dick67 No, my girlfriend kept talking in another room, with breaks in between that were just long enough for me to start, and then have to stop, the video. However, she does pay attention to landmarks in TV programmes, and makes me pause and rewind stuff, saying, "that place looks familiar". To be fair, we get a lot of film crews around here, and they can be a pain in the arse. Once we were in an advert break and she said, "That's the bank in Marlow". I looked it up and sure enough, she was right (she does have a _very good_ visual memory. As for dancing, forget about it. I dance like a bear, despite being much smaller (than large bears, not compared to a Sunbear or some species like that).

The Hunnas finest moment IMHO.

[@danger2709]

Brilliant....and just a little bit funny!

[@jimbiniares2376]

Great song, I used to think Mark Seymour was the lead singer for TISM. Very similar voice.

[@TimChuma]

Damien Cowell (the actual lead singer of TISM) complained that Hunters and Collectors were for the "cool crowd" and then I just came and watched this video again. Nope, they just do good music.

[@annaforehan7784]

@@TimChuma Peter Minack was the lead singer of TISM.

[@dw89music73]

Well, both bands are from Melbourne, so the similarities between Mark Seymour's and Damien Cowell's voices aren't that surprising.

Its the sharpie dance. Ironically Melbourne but I knew a couple of sharpies from Liverpool in sydney

[@jeffreysims3831]

[@dofane]

Melbourne Bogans as extras? .... are they like the same as Sydney Westies?

[@nzoz1981]

I don't think they're bogans. I think they're Melbourne art students from well-to-do middle class families having their own pub experience. These kids are the reason Melbourne has weird looking buildings these days.

[@SaulKopfenjager]

I thought sharpies were working class, not middle class, may be very low middle class, I've heard stories from one's I've met, all working class that I've met, but before my time, so IDK.
