Halal, How Are You? – A Life That Tastes Like Tonic Water


 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.

FFO: Time Zone, The Lewisham Hotel and Prince
