Whopping Big Naughty (WBN) was originally formed in the late eighties by one Stanley Claret, originally from the depths of Narrabundah, Canberra. Since formation the band has recorded full length albums and two hard to find cassette recordings, 'Bed of Tits', and 'Bullet in the Headjob' They were lauded by friends and foe as a classic rock band and were immediately signed to no one. Undertaking prolonged couch tours while spending their dole money on recording and releasing their wild "rock 'n' rong" albums, launching them at friends' places and loving themselves, they stayed in touch...with the devil. ''The evil genius is apparent in all the shambolic majesty of their obscene pop gems'' – Drum Media, April 1999. ''One of Australia’s best bands'' – Richard Moffat, Form Guide, Nov 1997.

Googled WBN for an obscure reason and found this. I have a cassette of Bullet in the Headjob and it is one of my treasured possessions that has survived multiple downsizes of CDs, vinyl and any music on physical media. Well, not survived. There was never any risk that it would be turfed. It's mine. Forever.
