It's all Relative!


The Relatives were a Melbourne punk band playing from 1977 to 1981.

This blog will cover the history, members, gigs, recordings & other stuff as best we can remember!

Any comments, photos, recordings & memories are more than welcome, especially from those who were there at the time.

For info on our recordings see; http://www.innercitysound.com.au/Relatives.html

To get you started here's a live version of 'Clock Struck One' from 22 October 1980 at The Exford Hotel;

I've just stumbled on an old news item and was deeply saddened to here of the tragic life and death of Andew Dowd. I was at Brighton Grammar during the era of the Relatives and still remember one of the lines Rob Howard sang, "Picasso was an arsole....". I rowed in an eight with Rob Howard and Andrew Dowd...and I think maybe Simon Kain was also in that team. Hey Simon, saw you on Rock Quiz! The passage of time is an amazing thing.
I never really new Andrew that well, but clearly a really nice fun loving guy is my memory at school. It seems like a lifetime ago.
