At some point our music teacher wanted to get the whole class to play a song together. A bass player was needed, and I happily put my hand up. I had discovered my instrument! I even got lessons for a while through the high school. At around the same time, grunge happened. Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden caught my attention. This was great, something that somehow really spoke to me. I also discovered Aussie bands, in particular, Front End Loader. They never got really successful, but they made music that I enjoyed, and showed me that you can do this, even in Australia. I showed them to my friends, and my friends showed me Tumbleweed and You Am I. Then, via compilation records I discovered Pollyanna and Big Heavy Stuff. Recovery became a thing, and I could see all of these band doing live performances on the tele, while also learning about bands like Frenzal Rhomb and The Avalanches. We could even go to concerts and see these bands live for relatively little money.
