On Valentine's Day 2003, a group of outsider musicians based in the seasonal working class suburb of Stephens publicly began to perform music in a new style at a small local arts club that no longer exists. This new style of music, which the performers on the night referred to as beanbag, was the soundtrack of the last gasps of a dying lifestyle, soon to be taken over by cynical rebranding and the Howardian property boom.
This package represents the physical and aural embodiment of a bygone era in Gold Coast History, condenced into less than 40 minutes of sonic mayhem and a box full of foam balls.
