This band was absolutely incredible, blowing my mind each and every magical time they played with majestic astro -physical geometrical music.. But I will tell of a very special instance; I had gone, very late at night, with my teenage mates to catch them at a famous Melbourne Discoteque (not sure of spelling) called the 'Thumping Tum'. When the band had finally set up on stage it was immediately noticeable that both Rob (guitarist) and his girlfriend Cleis (beautiful violinist) were in a huge argument. The anger from this argument in particular made Cleis into a complete firebrand and she played like a woman posessed by the devil. And shortly after starting Rob followed suite. Oh my sweet god what an incredible jaw dropping event, I never did again see her play to that level of fever pitch power.. Stunning, electrifying and soul energizing.. thankyou MacKenzie Theory so very much..
I saw them during Orientation Week in 1974 at the University of Queensland. For a 16 year old boy from the bush (central Queensland) this was absolutely mind blowing!! Still one of the most extraordinary avant garde rock bands to come out of Australia!!
GTK was highly influential for me in mid 1970's at a time I was branching out from commercial crap-pop. You can imagine my anger when it was shafted and Countdown continued!
I saw Rob Mackenzie play some little gigs at a small town called Lake Bolac in western Victoria back in the early 90's. For impromptu gigs with no rehearsals in the local pub and once at the memorial hall, they were absolutely EPIC! I've never ever heard such an incendiary rendition of Peter Gunn, out of Robs Custom tremolo equipped black Les Paul...
saw Mackenzie Theory at the top stage tent at Sunbury when Queen where there, also a stage show at the top tent by Steve J Spears called Africa....brilliant, still have the poster..................great memories
I was in that tent (marquee) also..a combination of the weather and the alcohol fuelled bogan kept me there. But what did I miss.. the chance to see one of the all time great bands. I remember some pretty fine dancing by some ballet performers also.
Saw them at Festival Hall i Melbourne, late 71 early 72 maybe with the Laa Dee Daa's, Wendy Sadington, Billy thope and the Aztecs and lastly Manfred Mann who were fantastic live, aah memories ey :)
I only saw them once at Monash Uni Melbourne, the amazing cleiss pierce on violin and greg sheehan on drums I don't know the other players...….legendary but never probably got beyond a cult following.

They made the trip north and I saw them at QIT/QUT in about 1974. They have stuck in my mind ever since. A great sound.
I saw this band live a few times and loved them every time.

Saw them early 70s at Queensland Uni, after having dinner at Mr Natural of course. Never thought I'd see them again.
Andy Majewski on drums......sensational
Who remembers TFMuch Ballroom.
