Halal, How
Are You? would have to be my favourite Sydney
band. These guys were my best friends in high school and I went to the vast
majority of all their shows. It’s a shame that they are no longer together. The
band won a free recording session after winning the Oakhill College Battle of
the Bands and this demo is a result of that recording.
The songs range
from taking your mum out for Thai to playing Daytona 2, all of them jam packed with
sexual innuendos. There is also a Beatles cover of ‘I've Got) Norwegian Wood’.
This band sounds
like unlike any other. They combine the Beatles with Tom Waits effortlessly.
I have the first
ever burned copy of this demo as well as two different versions.
