Lots of airplay, apart from that time they went into the 4ZZZ studios and found a bunch of custard cds and tapes were all smashed up… leading to the song “fantastic plastic” off Wahooto, “I wish that triple zed would play us…”
Love Custard with my heart and soul. Thanks for bringing them up Tom Howard!
- tomhoward 2y agoWell, Triple Z is an independent/community station, not ABC! I know that song/line well and remember mentions of Custard being “banned” by Triple Z in the band’s early days, but I can’t find any details. Do you know why they banned/smashed their music?
- LeonB 2y agoNo one knows why it happened! It was possibly one rogue triple Z volunteer on a bender, not some organised putsch. We’ve known Paul and David from custard for a long time now. Only time we ever talked about that was waaaaay back, around 1996 when we interviewed David for Semper, the UQ newspaper. (“We” is my wife and I… girlfriend back then)
- tomhoward 2y agoI love to think that it’s your shared love of Custard that’s kept you and your wife together all this time! I too wrote for my campus newspaper - Monash Caulfield. I didn’t interview Custard (I did interview Snout, Earthmen and Atticus). But in some shoebox in storage are some Kodak instant camera prints of me and my uni mates with Dave and Matt when they played at our campus in 98. Such a wonderful time to be young.
- LeonB 2y agoAwesome Tom. Snout were v good.
