Not for would-bes. Not for has-beens. This is for never-were's.
Exhumed is a band competition for unsigned, unrecorded, unrepresented, undiscovered, uncharted, unknown, pretty much unwanted bands run by ABC Radio. There were 240 entries in ten days from one afternoon radio program. Every style was represented. Acapella groups, ukulele bands, thrash punk, guys sending dance mixes back and forth between Sydney and Melbourne.
Exhumed rapidly became a competition for those who are passionate about their music. During the day they work as tradesmen, teachers, professionals or around the house. On this one night at the Exhumed Grand Final, these ten bands played the biggest gig of their life.
Seven hundred people filled Rooty Hill RSL and out came a folk group, a Glam band, a group that thought they were the Velvet Underground. It was legendary. This is the CD of the first Exhumed Grand Final. It's a piece of history because it's certainly not going to be the last.
