About Me

Southside, Brisbane, Australia Spawned in 1989 at a illegal high school party involving, yuppies, italians, punks, bangers and the local firebrigade, JJ Speedball has gone from strength to strenght notching anything and everything that has been served up to this rock and roll institution. Numerous album, Ep, single releases, International and national tours, club shows, pub shows, squats, festivals, bedding celebrities, high energy stage performances, hardcore partying and living large. Has seen most bands one would care for and continues to wave the rock'nroll flag for enjoyment, justice and the cherry arse way.Stay tuned for updates and more trivial facts. LIFELINE-1989 - MORTIFY1990 - SHITTY PANTS1991 - THE DRY HORRORS1992 - JJ SPEEDBALL AND THE HENDERSON KIDS1993 - JJ SPEEDBALL AND THE MEAT LOVERS1994 - JJ SPEEDBALL ( DEBUT WORLD TOUR - Highlights include residencies at Manor House Hotel - London, Dimitrifov Strasse - Berlin and some dumb arse turkish tourist bar in Fetiyaye.... i hope i spelt those right!)1995 - 2001 SCRUMFEEDER - Oh those were the freakin days.. i dunno what it was mid nineties wish wash, post grunge, pre pop punk, lack of talent dipshits, whatever the case may be, we where the bomb. A fusion of everything we adored and loved dearly (80's hair metal,speed metal, Oi, punk rock molded into one militant 3 piece from the Brisbane's Southside of town, P4'd our way down Australia's east coast leaving a trail of disbelief and distruction, very over the top, loud to the ear and to the eye, athletic stage shows, blood, sweat and all the usual groupie and stalker tales to be told. Toured in rural, regional and urban Australia, no one was doing this shit. Pretty much was a time and place thing. We picked up alot of freak fans and had alot of fun. We got to eat some golden apples and then threw some back at the industry itself. We self combusted and left the slate clean for white collar professionals to rock safely.RELEASES1996 - CD/EP - GUTS FOR GARTERS - RROO11996 - 7"/SINGLE - MARS BAR MANDY - RR0021997 - CD/LP - NUTHIN BUT CHERRY - RR0031998 - CD/SINGLE - SWALLOW THE LEADER- RR0042001 - CD/LP - HIGHWAY TO BEVAN - RROO6 COMPILATIONS To date Scrumfeeder have been on over 20 compilations throughout Australia, United States of America, Canada, Russia, Europe and the United Kingdom.2003 - JJ SPEEDBALL - This line up came together by chance and fate. A no show drummer, good recordings, East coast tour booked, JJ SPEEDBALL trailblazed their way down the east coast again, meeting up with old and new friends along the way. Sound had developed by refining classic trademark SPEEDBALL raw power and energy. Cherry rock never sounded so good, letting the licks and songs to do the talkin!RELEASES- 2004 - CD/DOUBLE A SIDE SINGLE - POWDER FINGER MY ARSE - MAPA01COMPILATIONSBOOST CRAZY (CAR ENTHUSIAST) DVDWORLDWIDE NOISE ATTACK (RETCH RECORDS - U.K.) DVDCONTACT- [email protected] Speedball - Homerun
