The place for old and new work, images, archived footage and music from solo projects and numerous bands and collaborations. Loosely chronological over four decades the collection is always expanding. Multi-instrumentalist Vincent Melzak started THE SEWER RATS at high school. He began creating his own music in Melbourne’s mid 80's post-punk scene, enjoying some airplay in his band ANTIPOISON on lead guitar and vocal, he formed a band with Warren Ellis and recorded with SNOG. Vini ran the White Zone studio and club in Melbourne in the late 80's, and did live sound for SCOURGE and others. His shortlived ANTIPOISON mk ii YEAR ZERO in 1994-5 came after stints in LEAD FOOT/BREAKNECKS, solo blues and busking, club promotion and as bass man in several acts including JAMES BUTT and HOWLIN WIND. He was instrumentalist and engineer in UNDERSTOREY and KATE GREALY among others. Recently he was keyboard dubmaster in SPYNDRIFT. He was a music tutor for 30 years and now runs the Divine Wind Studio.
ANTIPOISON - Happy Monoculture EP 1987
Side A
00:00 Aquadome
03:33 The Grip
07:27 Poison Love
10:07 Antipoison
Side B
16:43 Senses Unlocked
19:17 Bad Karma
23:56 Breathing down my neck
27:58 Black Crow
Bad Karma and Antipoison, from the BDMN demos, got thrown together with this EP for the Happy Monoculture cassette release on Funnel Web records. The proof we were the heaviest band that never was is in Ben's Black Crow, reworked from Bob Dylan's Black Crow Blues, it's a good name for a band too. Might I say some nice guitar work there.
These Dreamtime mixes were soaked in reverb and the mastering on the test pressing was so bad we wanted to remaster it, but before we knew anything it was released as this cassette with Ben's Iron Man t-shirt artwork on the cover, looking like a bootleg. Label mates Stake Cave had the same cassette artwork format, black on burnt orange. Please comment on the comparison between the cassette version and the rough mixes.
Tony from Dreamtime who had a record shop on Barkly st St Kilda wanted to dress the vinyl record cover up with some gimmicky frills, which really didn't fit the tone of the band. His idea was more along the lines of 'The Grip', (Ben's ode to auto-erotic asphyxiwhatchamacallit) than 'Antipoison'

I had no idea Warren was in Adventures of a Dog!
Chris, Greg, Warren & a drummer. I couldn't remember his name, or the name of the band
Chris, Greg, Warren, and one more. Who was the drummer?
That’s beautiful ! Thank you for subscribing and introducing me to your art! You made my night. Maybe we can collaborate on a long distance project? I am an acoustic/electric cellist and I would love to jam with you. I hear there is a software that allows us to create live online sessions with the minimal amount of delay. Your bio is interesting, you have had colorful experiences . Hope your having a peaceful night, Misha 🎤
