Nevermind the Pollocks - Here ' s the His

The Histrionic's line-up of vocals, guitar, bass and drums is modeled on the Australian ‘cover band’ stereotype and sets out to demonstrate how second-hand mediation of international art in Australia can be a productive experience. For this CD, the Histrionics have grafted new lyrics onto faithful renditions of familiar rock/pop classics. Part critical, part ironic, these texts examine serious theoretical issues gripping the visual art world and field of culture at large. These upbeat pop renderings wade through murky political waters, dripping in controversy, innuendo and rumor.
