    After Year of War he had two more Festival singles…”Hollywood” and “Build a Better Birdbath”. These were released just as the radio stations around Oz banned all English and Aussie records for a year due to royalty dispute with the record companies. Only independent labels were played like Fable Records and USA records etc. He returned from a year in England to release “Slob Rock”
