They might have started as a jokey Stooges tribute act playing Tuesday nights at Cherry Bar while their other bands were on hiatus but Melbourne’s Prehistoric Douche sound just like the sort of garage-surf monster that most underground rocvk and roll scenes need. Sydney could sure do with them. “Apex” is the A side (the band calls it a double B side single so take your pick) and is a well-honed rocker built on those guitars again and a strutting feel. It sounds a little Hellacopters with the foot off the tempo pedal, and it’s a total keeper.
These douches aren’t peddling anything new, sonically speaking, but they’re right on the money. An album is in the pipeline and a four state Australian tour will keep them busy in August-September (details of which you'll find on their Facebook page). Ah, to live in Melbourne…
