"Underground pop hits from Hobart" mixtape via K Mason

Hobart-born musician Keith Mason (White Woods / K Mason) has put together a little mixtape of Hobart music, ranging from 1996 to ~2005. It features a few bands who have played live shows in the past few years (The Frustrations, Kind Winds, Rentboy), but otherwise is made up of many Consumer Productions associated bands such as The Gentlemen, hMAS, Avoidable Droid, End Show, Karaoke For My Shadow, et al.



Most of these tracks date back to late 90s/early 00s (forgive me for my vagueness) and as it is with Hobart/Australian/whatever music cultures, many of these groups feature members from current bands. Dave from Drunk Elk sang for The Gentlemen; Ben from Moe Grizzly played in hMAS; Julian from The Native Cats in The Frustrations; etc.

Tracklist with links below. Big thanks to Keith Mason for compiling this and letting me sharing it:

  1. Your Face - Avoidable Droid
  2. Your Eyes and the Sea – The Gentlemen
  3. Toothless Thursday - Kind Winds
  4. Japanese House – 33 Speed Version - Karaoke For My Shadow

  2. That was my original thought, I got the 1996 - 2010 figure off K's blog. Wasn't sure what would be late 00's here, its all before my time.
