VERY RARE 1990 PROMO POSTER ORIGINAL
 
This is a rare find for collectors of Australian Alternative Music, and fans of LUBRICATED GOAT

One of Australia's most legendary underground bands LUBRICATED GOAT became notorious overnight in 1988 by appearing on the 'Censorship' episode of Andrew Dentons BLAH BLAH BLAH and performing the song 'In The Raw' completely naked.

See history below :

LUBRICATED GOAT
Lubricated Goat was formed by Stu Spasm (real name Stuart Grey). Spasm had previously been in bands such as Singing Dog with Stu Barker, and Salamander Jim with Tex Perkins. Upon returning from England, Spasm went to Perth to visit with Singing Dog drummer Brett Ford who was then playing in The Kryptonics with Peter Hartley.

While in Perth, Stu recorded side one of what later became the Plays The Devil’s Music EP at No Sweat Studios with Ford and Hartley. Side two was recorded in Adelaide on a 4-track with drummer Martin Bland (Bloodloss/Salamander Jim).

Lubricated Goat signed to Red Eye Records offshoot Black Eye Records. The band soon relocated to Sydney where Stu met Guy Maddison of the Greenhouse Effect (now in Mudhoney) and offered him the opportunity to play bass for Lubricated Goat. The majority of the band lived on Cleveland Street in an old run-down three-story mansion which was soon dubbed "Gracelands." The house was a creative haven for musicians and artists that were known to host art shows and nude discos

In 1988, Lubricated Goat released its debut full length, Paddock Of Love, which featured the track "In The Raw". This song was later lip-synched to in the nude on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV program Blah Blah Blah, an event which created national media outrage. A documentary film has been made about the performance, also titled In The Raw, which explains how/why the band came to be nude in the first place.

Around this time there also was a line-up change, with Hartley and Ford sacked and replaced by guitarist Sir Charles Tolnay Esquire of Grong Grong and King Snake Roost and Gene, drummer of The Space Juniors. In 1989, the new lineup recorded the EP Schadenfreude and the full-length Psychedelicatessen.

Lubricated Goat had its back catalog re-released via Amphetamine Reptile Records in the United States, and on Normal in Europe, before making its first American tour in mid-1989. In 1990, Lubricated Goat commenced its first European tour, one that was plagued with tragedy via the stabbing of Spasm in Berlin in 1990. The incident placed Lubricated Goat on hiatus.

Post-1980s

Various incarnations of Lubricated Goat, often featuring only Stu Spasm, have since existed, recording material for Sub Pop, PCP, Sympathy for the Record Industry and REPTILIAN. Spasm also played in Crunt (which featured his then-wife Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland) and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion drummer Russell Simins.

This original promotional GIG poster for their 1990 release PSYCHE-DELICATESSEN, which is descibed in The Encyclopedia Of Australian rock & Pop as "a variety of styles (from noisy free-form jazz to to noiser hard rock) with tortured guitars and raw vocals being the bands charecteristic mode of operation.".

It is in sterling condition (it does have some very minor storage wear) and it is a great addition to your LUBRICATED GOAT COLLECTION!
