WILD WEST

Wild West was a post-punk band from Sydney, playing and recording during the years 1980-81. They took a leading role in the thriving underground artistic and musical scene of the inner-city suburbs, centred on M Squared studios. Their sound contained a mix of experimental and melodic elements with a wide range of influences including the varied strains of post-punk, disco and pop. They recorded on three separate occasions but only released one critically acclaimed EP 'Beat The Drought' and a track "Pelican" on the seminal M2 compilation 'A Selection'. In 2011 Wild West released 'Scratch Another Day (Selected Recordings 1980​-​1981)' a 16 track CD that included live recordings at venues e.g. University Of Wollongong, Paddington Green Hotel and Garibaldi's.
