I know that you come from a musical family, both your father and grandfather were musicians. Cold Chisel, etc… I didn’t quite get it… so I was happy to continue to listen to my old mix cassette tapes. When we landed in Brisbane, it was Radio 10 and commercial radio again. At the time, I had heard of The Go Betweens, but I thought they were a punk band from Germany, not Australia, probably because they were spending a lot of time touring there. The only experience of Aussie music I had was Men At Work. In England, I was listening to music by Depeche Mode, Visage Fun Boy 3, etc and anything on Top Of The Pops and sometimes The Old Grey Whistle Test if I stayed up late enough. I think we all watched too much Skippy The Bush Kangaroo as prep for immigration. My parents promised me a pony in our back garden so I could ride to school, but it ended up being a bicycle to ride to Sandgate High and that was bloody hard work as we lived at the top of a hill.

My school uniform for one… suddenly I could, and everyone else could, see my white hairy legs. There were a lot of changes to get used to. The smells of Brisbane’s flora and the bugs and creatures… and the heat and humidity really threw me. You first moved to Brisbane from Bury in Lancashire as a teenager what were your first impressions of Brisbane? What was the music scene like? Was it an exciting time for you?ĪDELE PICKVANCE: I was 15.

Gimmie interviewed Adele about moving to Brisbane from the UK as a teen, beginnings as a musician, a love of Pete Shelley, the band’s debut LP First Date and of what the future holds. Before forming the group, vocalist-bassist Adele Pickvance was a member of The Go-Betweens plus solo work with Robert Forster & Grant McLennan, and did multiple albums with The Dave Graney Show.
