Background notes
Archive material and source history
TISM formed in Melbourne during the mid-1980s, with Damian Cowell on vocals and John Evans on guitar. Their songs like 'Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The House Of Repre' and 'Death Death Death Amway Amway Amway' had a punk foundation but didn't stick to one style, mixing in electronic touches and absurd lyrics.
They released albums including 'Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance' in 1988 and 'Hot Dogma' in 1999. The band's lineup shifted over time, with members like Humphrey B. Flaubert on bass and keyboards and Jock Cheese on drums coming through.
TISM's stage shows and lyrics sometimes got them into trouble with broadcasters. They kept putting out records like 'Australiana' in 2004 and 'Reprehensible' in 2022.
