Description

I OFFER FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE THIS RARE OZ ALBUM OF

THE STEMS 

AT FIRST SIGHT...VIOLETS ARE BLUE 

Leaders Dom Mariani and Richard Lane formed this garage/punk band The Stems in Perth in 1983 and relocated to Melbourne. Playing such local venues as The Wizbah, The Old Melbourne, and The Shenton Park on a regular basis, the group built a substantial following, resulting in the release of their debut single in mid-1985, Make You Mine b/w She's A Monster. Further releases soon followed, including singles, EPs, such as the Love Will Grow, produced by Radio Birdman's Rob Younger; and their first album, 1987's best-selling At First Sight... Violets are Blue. Strangely, at the height of their success, the group suddenly disbanded. But over the years, Mariani and Lane have been able to put their differences aside to reunite The Stems for the odd reunion show, including a pair of shows in 1997; which coincided with the release an archival live release from the good old days, titled Weed Out!: Live at the Old Melbourne. 

THESE GUYS CAN REALLY ROCK!
