Know Your Product Painters & Dockers & Jenny Pineapple, PunkFest at The Triffid Newstead, Brisbane

Painters & Dockers formed in 1982 with five musicians and today, decades later, have eight members and a never ending number of special guests. The unusual name was chosen early in the bands career when playing at a pub frequented by the Federated Ship Painters and Dockers Union, the band had no name and chose Painters and Dockers for the event, and the name stayed with the band from then on. Their greatest chart success was achieved with 1985’s Nude School which received air play on a number of commercial radio stations and which was marked by its controversial lyrics and video clip. Paulie Stewart - Vocals David Pace - Trumpet Mick Morris - Saxophone Colin Badger - Guitar Sonja Parkinson - Trombone Richard Bradbeer - Guitar Dahl Murphy - Drums We are standing on the shoulders of giants. From Traditional Owners to musicians going back to the 1800's, the Brisbane music scene has always amazed, shocked and entertained. Bands of Brisbane respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which our music is now performed and celebrates the fact that music and dance has been created and performed here for thousands of years.
