THE WET ONES


The Wet Ones were a delightful Melbourne all-girl combo that played tongue-in-cheek, 1960s-inspired guitar pop (sort of like The Shangri-Las by way of The Buzzcocks and The Pandoras). The Wet Ones formed in 1984 and comprised Sue World (drums), Kelly Brimacombe (guitar, vocals), Rosi Joy (guitar, vocals) and Genevieve Hassall (bass). The band issued the gig giveaway single ''Next Summer /`Alligator'' (December 1986), the 12-inch EP 'It's a Premoistened World' (October 1986) and the albums 'We Are The Wet Ones' (Feb 1986) and 'Crack Up' (October 1988) on the Polyester label before calling it quits. The Wet Ones also contributed a cover of The Loved Ones' ''Everlovin' Man'' on record label Au-go-go's various artists compilation 'A Slab of Vic' (1986).

  3. I would love to get their entire back catalogue in a lossless format, whether they start selling it on Bandcamp or I find the FLACs somewhere online or I buy a scratchless CD or LP someone and digitise myself. Great memories here.
