Throwlily by the Daisygrinders

The four band members attended Charles Sturt University in the early 1990s where they gravitated to the student indie rock radio station, Studio 4. The band formed when Young and Hunter of Flat Out Fucked joined Beaman and Bridge of The Rubber Bicycles. They performed once under the name The Griswolds before renaming themselves The Daisygrinders. The group played at local parties, university festivals and an Australian Music Day event at the Bathurst Tavern. The early set list included originals and covers such as “Touch Me I’m Sick” by Mudhoney.

With the assistance of Sean Rabin and Hugh Williams, who took up managerial duties, a demo was recorded and then distributed by Rabin through his Sydney music scene contacts. An offer was made by Nic Dalton of Half a Cow records to include a song, “Test Pattern Baby”, on the Slice 2 compilation. The Daisygrinders' first Sydney show was on 15th February 1992 at the Hopetoun Hotel supporting Swirl.

Throwlily was their first release - on cd anc 10 inch vinyl - in 1992. “Test Pattern Baby” is included as a bonus track.
