Unfortunately there is little information about this pioneering Canberra beat combo, although we hope this can be rectified in the near future. The group might have remained very obscure indeed were it not for the later career of their lead singer, Paul Lyneham, who became a prominent political journalist. The band formed around 1965 under the name The Orgasms, but changed it to the less provocative Bitter Lemons soon after. The band had a residency at a club called The Lemon Tree, in Kingston ACT. This venue will be well-known to Canberrans and others in the 70s and 80s under its later name, the “Boot & Flogger”. The group were evidently well-regarded and popular on the local scene, and they recorded one independently released single, Canberra Blues, during 1965. Their career was marred by the untimely death of bassist Graeme Harding at the end of 1965 -- he died in a tragic drowning accident after falling from a ferry during a party cruise on Lake Burley Griffin.
