Tukan Sam
Tukan Sam is the name of an all-female band active in Warrnambool in the 1990s. The band was formed in late 1996 by Kat Anderson, Steph Walter and Hannah Burrow who were friends at school. Kate Gane joined later. It was one of the three local bands to be "UnEarthed" by Triple J in 1998 and had success in the statewide Push Battle of the Bands. Infamous for their one-time eviction from Brauer College (when the principle Duncan Stalker deemed their lyrics inappropriate and initially withheld their fee), the band pioneered music film clips in Warrnambool when they produced a video of their song "Let's swing" at the Malaysian restaurant in Liebig Street.
This review of the band's film clip was published in the Warrnambool Standard April 21 2011
Let's Swing - Tukan Sam
THIS is the first great film clip to be made in Warrnambool (unless someone can suggest a better one that pre-dates it) and was made coincidentally by Colleen Hughson, who's n ow the brains behind ABC Open in South-West Victoria. Tukan Sam were one of the three bands to be UnEarthed by Triple J back in 1998 (along with Thirteen and Gramps) and their clip for Let's Swing was filmed in the old Malaysian restaurant in Liebig Street. Starring restaurant owner Francis Neoh, it features the band causing havoc in the restaurant before threatening Mr Neoh because he refuses to take Tukan Sam's photo and post it in his famed celebrity gallery. Entertaining, ambitious, and nicely edited, the clip captures the band's brand of punk fun excellently.
This CD review is re-published from Comfusion magazine 1998
tukan sam
what a corker !
Soon to hit the streets is a 12 track debut CD from local band tukan sam. The album has not been overworked and has an overall raw and heavy feel which captures their live sound well. A new song to most punters is 'ATARI' ( it hasn't ever been performed live ) combining a small keyboard, a questioning Kat and studio effects to create a dynamic tune. Its interesting to hear the difference between this recording of 'LITTLE MISS' and the version that Triple J recorded. This one is a more powerful representation of their sound. The combination of catchy hooks and lyrics, interesting grooves and unorthodox instruments / sounds make for a very listenable and downright dancable CD indeed. Get your boogie shoes on for tukan sam's CD launch on October 9 in the Bayview at the Lady Bay with Warrnambool's classic rocksters The Hubcaps along with The Sexbombs and That Band. An all-ages, alcohol free show begins at 7pm to 10pm then is over 18's from 10pm onwards.

On The Road With Tukan Sam
by Duane Jull and some gorgeus punter
Day 1: Wednesday 16st September As the sun was rising over our fair town of Warrnambool, the first car in the convoy crawls out on to the rock'n'roll princes(s) highway. That was the beginning of the tukan sam 'tit-f--k' tour. First stop, the Arthouse in North Melbourne for the 'Warrnambool Wind Up Your Windows' gig with local heroes The Funstoppers and occasional Warrnambool acquaintances, The Sexbombs. The Arrival and check in was a major problem with the ever so welcoming not Melburnians, which helped to create charged energy and electricity in the air. About 60 punters were present to enjoy 3 hours of banter and Rocking music. Then the residents of the Arthouse 'enjoyed' another 3 or so hours of hilarity and mayhem as they shouted choruses of 'SHUT THE F--K UP!' well into the wee hours of the next day. |
Day 2: Thursday 17th September The Corner Hotel, Richmond tukan sam headlines the CD launch of PUSH>PLAY>RECORD formerly 'PUSH PREDICTIONS' Eight other bands were also selected out of 170 entries to play for the night. The crowd of about 300 seemed subdued but attentive until tukan sam rocked onto the main stage at 11pm for a 20 minute set which included 'Burnin like a Freak', 'Little Miss' and culminated in a frenzied rendition of 'Let's Swing'. The verdict ; tukan sam are chosen to play a paid gig at PUSHOVER on November 21 at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl along with the other band that blew everyone away New World Souls. There were emotional scenes then sleep. |
Day 3: Friday 18th September The Courthouse, Geelong The usual hassles of getting out of Melbourne, including car accidents, road rage and food poisoning was followed by an hysterical all ages gig at the Courthouse. Kat needed a bass string, a dude from Hydrogen 4 obliged her with one. A guy from Snout needed a battery, Steph loaned him hers. The rock'n'roll community came together to ensure that the show would go on. tukan sam rocked Geelong, complete with boy groupies piled deep against the cyclone fencing stage barrier hoping for a glance. 'Teenybopper' sparked recognition from those who indulge in the Degrassi High - Zit Remedy hit, and ended in another orgasmic display with 'Lets Swing' complete with stacks-on. |
Day 4: Saturday 19th September Rebecca's 18th East W’Bool Footy Clubrooms. The punters were torn between the Spice Girls, Aqua and tukan sam. The jury is still out. Tukans and the touring groupies ended the night and the tour with group hugs, j's and hankering for some well earned rest. |

Warrnambool's only all-girl band is still stunned over its success in the Youth Awareness Week Battle of the Bands. Tukan Sam clinched the honor last Saturday, beating 11 other entrants from around the district. The girls won $1500 of recording time at RBX studios, a berth at the state final at Melbourne's pushover festival in November and will play with the Fauves, Moler and the Simpletons tomorrow night at the all-ages Warrnambool Freeza event at the surf club. A frequent occurrence at the Criterion Hotel Cellar Bar, Battle of the Bands was Tukan Sam's first gig outside of the Cri and private functions. An original outfit, the members were unable to pigeonhole themselves into any specific category. Stephanie Walter (guitar and vocals), Hannah Burrow (drums) and Katherine Anderson (bass and vocals), all aged 17, formed Tukan Sam about eighteen months ago from school friendships and a desire to have an all-female band. The year 11 Brauer College students roped 24-year-old Kate Gane (flute, recorder, vocals and firestick) into the scene a month ago. "It's just a mish mash of influences" Gane said of Tukan Sam's music. Ecstatic about the win, the girls already have their eyes on the school Christmas holidays to take advantage of the free recording time but are looking forward to performing at Pushover. "It could be a really great stepping stone" Gane said.

One of Warrnambool's Triple J Unearthed winners Tukan Sam have secured a support gig with Snout in Geelong next Wednesday. Appearing at The Courthouse, the four-member female band was chosen for the all-ages Court Jest event to encourage other bands in the Western District following its success in Unearthed. Melbourne three-piece Snout have just recently returned from supporting Ben Folds Five and the Cruel Sea on their national tours. The Geelong show will also host band Hydrogen 4, fire dancers and skating demos.

What a corker - by Tukan Sam. Its the debut album for Tukan Sam and not only is it a corker, it's a pearler. Those who have seen Tukan Sam live would know the Warrnambool four-piece are no shrinking violets or, as the band announces in Alley Kat, "I am not your little brownie". With What a Corker, Kat Anderson, Hannah Burrow, Kate Gane and Steph Walters have turned up their ferocious guitar rock with an individual twist. The band takes a swipe at - among others - vacuous daytime chat show host Rikki Lake and fickle male lovers, but the beauty of it is that it's not afraid to take a light-hearted swipe at itself either. Outstanding tracks include Little Miss, the song unearthed by Radio Triple J, and Alley Kat, on which the humble recorder really gets a rock 'n' roll workout. A spectacular review debut by some feisty chicks, and you've got to love a bunch of women who are into their Atari.

KATE Gane is very excited. And so she should be, as she and the rest of the Tukan Sam gang prepare to hit the GreatTukan Sam Ocean Road for the gig of a lifetime. The Warrnambool band has been namedon this year’s Falls Festival bill, and will line up alongside new wave punk legends Blondie to see in the new year. The bill comprises an almost endless list of Australian and international talent, including Bodyjar, Ammonia, You Am I, Grinspoon, Even, Screamfeeder, Moler and Kate’s own personal favorite, Mud-honey. In the Cybercircus, revellers can dance 1998 away to the sounds of Voiteck, Honey Smack, Simon Slieker, and Ollie Olsen — to name a few — complete with psychedelic projections and computer graphics mixed live. As if anyone could be bored by all that music, the festival will also include market stalls, interactive workshops, street performers, an outdoor cinema, beach tours, surfing lessons and skating demos. Organisers have extended the bus service to and from Lorne, and roads to the site have been upgraded to help avoid the inevitable traffic chaos that ensues when 12,000 people descend on a quiet country farm. Tickets are still on sale from Ticketmaster, but are selling fast.

Brauer evicts youth band -- Warrnambool Standard 9th Sept.1999 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard 1999. All rights reserved
MEMBERS of Warrnambool band Tukan Sam say they are disappointed with Brauer College principal Duncan Stalker after he evicted them from the school and refused to pay them following a performance during youth week. Band members Kat Anderson, Steph Walter and Kate Gane said yesterday they were asked to leave the school and later told they would not be paid following their performance at the school on August 30 during which they performed a song containing the word "bitch" and decorated the stage area with bras. The band said the audience, including teachers, had responded with enthusiasm during the performance, which was organised as part of youth week - the catch phrase for which was "express yourself, Ms Gane said. "I just thought it was a bit hypocritical. It was trying to dampen the spirits of the youth of this town rather than encourage them to express themselves and enjoy themselves," she said. However, Mr Stalker said yesterday the band had been contracted for a performance to year seven and eight secondary students and their songs contained lyrics that were inappropriate for that age group as were some of their actions. "Their actions during the performance of the song were totally unacceptable to the ethics of the school," he said. Mr Stalker said he had refused to pay the band the $200 it had been promised and had instead donated the amount to the Royal Children's Hospital. "The school has a standard of expectations of the behavior of the students and our parents have expectations. We're not going to lower those expectations for anyone." He said teachers at the school had been "outraged" at the performance and it was they who brought it to his attention. Asked why the performance was not ended sooner or why it was permitted to continue after an intermission, Mr Stalker said he was told of the problem towards the end of the set. Ms Gane said the band was particularly disappointed with the way things ended because all three were former students and had a good relationship with the school in the past. "The teachers out there are fantastic and we all really enjoyed our time at Brauer," she said.

No doubt the band members are hoping their performance will go over a little better than at their recent notorious gig at a Warrnambool secondary school.

Brauer forced to pay upWarrnambool Standard 2nd Oct.1999 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard 1999.
BRAUER College principal Duncan Stalker has been forced to back down on his refusal to pay Warrnambool band Tukan Sam for a school performance on the grounds it was inappropriate. The band was evicted from the premises by principal Duncan Stalker following a performance on August 30 during youth week. In the course of the performanceTukanSam had played a song featuring the word "bitch" and used bras as props. At the time, Mr Stalker said he had refused to pay the band and given the $200 owed to them to the Royal Children's Hospital. He said teachers at the school had been outraged at the performance to an audience of year seven and eight students. But band member Kate Gane said yesterday they had received the cheque via their solicitor, having sought legal advice. "We're just relieved that it's all been sorted out fairly and that we've had the experience because it's proven to us that people in places of power shouldn't be able to dictate your freedom of expression." Mr Stalker was unable to be contacted yesterday.

Blue Heat
Now the heat's off...
Warrnambool Standard Nov. 19 , 2009 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard 2009. All rights reserved 2009
THE irregular reunion of Blue Heat continues this weekend when the rhythm and blues juggernaut rolls into The Loft in Warrnambool tomorrow night. The band broke up at the peak of its powers in 1997 but reformed in 2005 for a charity gig at Lake Pertobe. Since then they've popped up for a handful of gigs each year and even released a live recording of a performance from 1997 at The Continental. The seven-piece also has spots at the upcoming Queenscliff Music Festival and have applied for some 2010 festivals, but working out what the future holds for Blue Heat is difficult. Keyboardist Richard Tankard said the members had never sat down and had a “state of the union” meeting since reforming. “If you look at it from when we got back together, we've only gigged between three and 10 times a year and I don't know that there will be too many more than that yearly,” Tankard said. “(Saxophonist) Brad Harrison is based in Western Australia, and there are other tricky things — people have got lives and families and work.” But the band's popularity hasn't waned. They attracted big crowds to their five gigs at the Port Fairy Folk Festival in March, as well as their recent closing slot in the Wangaratta Jazz Festival's blues tent. “It's a lot more relaxed now,” Tankard said of the revived line-up. “We have a lot more fun when we play. Back in the day, we toured relentlessly — we'd go away for months — but we wouldn't do that now.” While a lengthy road trip around the country is out of the question, Blue Heat have been slipping new material into their sets, giving fans hope for a new album. Tankard said the new songs were in fact old songs the band had rediscovered on old rehearsal tapes. “If we got hold of all the old material there'd be enough for a new album... there are songs everywhere. “I'd like to record a new Blue Heat studio album but it's not on the agenda.” Maybe when the band finally gets time to sit down and work out it's agenda, it might point them towards the studio. In the meantime, the sporadic live shows will have to suffice. Blue Heat will be at The Loft tomorrow night supported by Ben Cue from 9 pm.

Shane Howard and Archie Roach
Archie's journey brings him back home
BY JARED LYNCH Warrnambool Standard 16/04/2009 - ©Copyright Warrnambool Standard 2009. All rights reserved
SOUTH-WEST musicians Archie Roach and Shane Howard are set to take the Melbourne International Arts Festival stage as part of The Black Arm Band's latest production dirtsong when it premiers later this month.The pair are part of an ensemble of musicians from indigenous and non-indigenous backgrounds who have contributed songs and will take part in the performance which mixes traditional and contemporary songs from Aboriginal Australia sung in indigenous Australian languages.It is the third production from The Black Arm Band which features many of Australia's premier Aboriginal musicians and is a creative collaboration for indigenous and non-indigenous artists to perform, promote and celebrate indigenous music.With a long history of performing and collaborating with indigenous musicians, Shane Howard said he was pleased to be part of this powerful production which has involved many perfomers reclaiming lost language."It's about dealing with issues of colonialism, loss of language and damage done to culture but it's also about being optimistic, about recovery and restoration," he said."The reclaiming of language is something that's been a bit tricky to be involved in as someone from a non-indigenous background but a lot of the artists are great friends and it's a great privilege and a responsibility I take very seriously."I think it's the most challenging thing I have been involved in artistically, and rewarding too ." Howard said it was particularly moving to see fellow south-west musician and friend Archie Roach sing about his mother's language.Roach was born in Framlingham but taken away and fostered by a non-indigenous family in Melbourne.He spent many years on the streets of Melbourne and Adelaide before he met his partner Ruby Hunter and returned to the south-west to live.Howard said the performance would also feature special guest Jimmy Barnes and the two have been collaborating on music for dirtsong.dirtsong is presented by Melbourne International Arts Festival in association with Arts House and in collaboration with The Black Arm Band. It will be perfomed at the Arts Centre, State Theatre, on Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24 at 7.30pm.

Matt Joe Gow / Nick Styles
Photo shows Nick Styles at the Loft 25th Sept. 2009
Although most of Warrnambool's population missed a stellar Grand Final Eve presentation of alt-country at the legendary Liebig St venue "The Loft", there were enough enthusiasts there to make it a party. First up was former Cobden musician Nick Styles, who was promoting his album "Hillbilly Pop". The catchy tunes from this CD were supplemented by a riveting rendition of Hank Williams' "Ramblin' Man". Nick was joined on stage towards the end of his set by 2 accomplices inlcuding Andy Pollock ( guitarist for the headline act -- Matt Joe Gow and the Dead Leaves).
Matt Joe Gow and the Dead Leaves took the stage at 11.30 pm and captivated the crowd with original songs from their album "The Messenger". Their country soaked melodies of tunes like "Come to Mama She Say" and "The Light" had a slightly harder edge than the Nash Chambers produced recorded versions but were instantly recognisable by the few that had heard them previously. An inspirational version of the Willie Dixon (come Muddy Waters) blues classic "Hoochie Coochie Man" drew dancers to the floor and elicited an exclamation of "that was sexy!" from one punter.
All in all a great night experience by too few.
