In 1986 founding members of Sydney band,
Wet Taxis Simon & Tim Knuckey formed
Carbunkle Shack to play 60s garage punk and
blues funk rock. This album is an in memorium
tribute to Simons guitar genius and often
humorous song writing. The recordings are from
various studio sessions and a live to tape session
at Maxs Petersham Inn. Lachlan Dengate was the
anchor man on drums for most of the bands
existence, however we would like to thank the
many talented musicians who have shuffled through
the Carbunkular ranks and others who have helped
to get this darn album into the light of day. Here is
but a few, Igor, Geoff, Jimmy J. (Wild Cat Tamers),
Duncan and the Pismo Bar, Paul, Gavin, Danielle,
Anthony and Barry. Special production thanks to
Lachlan Dengate, Michael Vidale, Dale from Dogbox
Studio. Susanna Strati for artwork, Raimond de Weerdt
and Kerri Ambler for photography and Carol Walsh &
Emma Knuckey for archival material. And,
Lachlans Mum, Mrs Dengate !
Complications from a lung transplantdue to
Cystic Fibrosis forced Simon to shuffle off this mortal
coil, but the music and the funky love live on.
