- Melbourne Sharps (Sharpies) Australia - a 1970s youth subculture
Coloured Balls (featuring guitarist Lobby Loyde)..a great local band of the time
medley - Human Being, Devil's Disciple, Mama Don't You Get Me Wrong
Absolutely the best tribute I've seen ❤ From the UK 🇬🇧
Great days always remembered with pride and pain. We were all hurt and had a blood lust. Alfonso G. lead the fashion and the dance styles which he created. I had such hate in me all a product of being fucked by Catholic brothers. RIP Rod Collins, Sharpie original from the late 60s. Blessings to all we lost, blessings all
Hope your doin ok these days mate
I am from NYC and this kicks ass in 2018
My Auntie was a Sharpie Mole, she introduced us kids to Treads & Connie's
love it.lobby loyde.just awesome.
Hi Brrokesy, thanks for your reply... lol, believe me all good memories. Had the best times being a Melbourne Sharpie. Got up to much mischief!
being a Melbourne sharp was grouse,we all had a great time,got up to all sorts of mischief,these days there is nothing like it,scorp.
I like the clothes the sharpies wore those cardigans were nice must of been fun were the sharpies friendly or aggressive
i still remember someone in my class at school was an 'apprentice sharp'
the Sharpie subculture died out at the end of the 1970s with just a few hanging onto it in the early 1980s. A few of us have resurfaced in recent years in an effort to record the history and reminisce. Take a look at this youtube video
SHARPIES of MELBOURNE.. 1970s - THEN & NOW pics (ACDC - TNT).wmv
Most of these dews reminds me of the Mullets that were worn around the East Cost NJ, NY circa late 70's early 80's. On the West Coast thinking back at my friends during this same time period.... I don't think it caught on as much.
lobby the legend.
I met a guy at a party in Melbourne about 2 years ago, that said he was one of the skinheads and original followers of Lobby Loyde. That must have been in his far youth. He looked very placid so I said "Fairdinkum, Hey!"
SeaBassVamp 5.21 seems Bon Scott and Angus! Angry Anderson-4-55
A great clip from a great era. I recall there were the Sharpies which later morphed into the skinheads and the Rockers. The Rockers and the Sharps/Skins always had issues with each other. Check our a very young Bon Scott and Angus Young at 5:21.
I had that Sharpie kind of hair cut in 1985, but I didn't know it at the time - it was just something me and my surfeit mates were doing.
Been watching videos about the sharpies interesting in from the UK I like those cardigans they were really smart I read some were that mark chopper reed used to be a sharpie good powerful music aswell
great video
Westside Sharps !!
when i was at primary school in the early 70s the sharpies rulled, we wanted those square toed chunky heeled shoes they wore but our mums wouldnt be into it,
you gotta love the walking hard dancing. lobby and the balls were fucking great.
From his early days with the Purple Hearts I never saw Lobby on stage without a cigarette in his mouth.
And the Sharpies VS the Mods produce a few scraps around Melbourne.
But where are the pin stipe pants?
Sydney had it's own sharpies- however they were based in individual suburbs - Eg. Town Hall gang known as animal sharps Campsie - Lakemba sharps Parramatta and Rockdale Sharps, each gang had about 40 + members usually dominated by different ethnicities but allowing diversity and close knitted friendships.
The were would-be sharpies known as apprentices and the sharpie Chicks were loyal and backed up in fights.
A sharpie was never alone in the City, no-matter where you travelled if you were wearing the - high cut jeans no socks, 3 batten Polo shirt cardigan, and the sharpie cap you were immediately befriended by other groups anywhere in concerts parks and goals.
Sharpies were united against everyone especially the Surfies and travelled mostly via public transport, the Government had to create the Transport Police to keep them in check as it became to violent for the Public to travel at night.
My parents friends lived in Sydney a place called Liverpool I remember them telling me that in the 70s and 80s sydney was very violent
The try hard skin heads would try to bash the surfers, But, They had no idea how much fitter Surfers are compared to their disposition drug & alcoholic Fuck up waisted existence.
They hunted in packs, In self defence I bashed a few of them 🖕😎🖕
CONTI CARDIGANS YEP ...LOBBY ...LOVD IM ...
Treads were big ,those woven sandals with rubber tyre soles (see vid)
VIrpi Tammilehto was here !!! 😜🤘🏽
Awesome VIRPI !
I was a Mod. But probably had become a Sharp had it existed in the UK
1967ModZeb look it involved out of Manchester 67+68
*This reminds me of a Smiths concert so much*
Boot Boys as we were, from Skin to Suede to (I guess) Sharpie. Fine Times
Looks like headbanger heavy metal culture replaced the sharpies by the start of the 80s with the strong camaraderie and us against the mainstream attitude. When I was in Melbourne in '82 don't remember seeing one sharpie but the place was crawling with young and some older metal freaks.( Inc me!)
10 pound poms YEAH
the originators of the Mullet were the sharpies
thats how it should be really,.. forget the colour and the odor,.. in the end we all have the same odor!!!
Was the opening photo clip taken in Melbourne?
yes at the City Square in Melbourne 1973
Australian Skinhead?
Similar but different. More about dressing/looking sharp than violence in it's original, hence the name Sharpies (Sharps). Then the violence became a part of it later on.
farkin' YOBBOS! Oiiiiiiiiiiii (Y)
Early Bogans.
So would most people. What's your point?
Ok, then the bloke on the left would be a fella who went by the name of penguin in our part of the world.
that's him... and standing middle is Bob S, behind him (hidden) is Jef R.. great times
Wasn't chopper read a sharpie
