The Pineapples From The Dawn Of Time formed in 1985, out of the ashes of Brisbane's punk scene from the early part of the decade. The band was formed out of members from outre outfits such as Kicks, Riptides, The Ken Palmer Connection, Tex Deadly & The Dum Dums and The Kingswood Trio.
Often adorned in ridiculous costumes, they played around Brisbane between 1985 and 1987 while gaining a cult following due to their onstage antics and songs about mass murderers, science fiction shows and drugs. In that time, the Pineapples released the double A side single 'Saha/Too Much Acid?' and an LP, 'Shocker' - both of which sold out shortly after their respective launches. It's now remastered and repackaged. A 12 page booklet includes photos, posters and extensive liner notes depicting one of Australia's truly unique acts.
