Midnight Oil reunited

New Wave/Punk music, culture, genres, memories. '80s revivalism and other relevant topics.

I know the other lads did an album after he left, but there's no Midnight Oil without Peter Garrett, IMO. I do hope they'll do some more recording with PG as well. The article mentions they played "Redneck Wonderland," which is one of my favorite Oils songs, even though postdates what I consider their Golden Age--'82-'90. The article remarks PG is 6'4." I thought he was 6'6" but maybe that was exaggeration for the press....

The hypocrite returns in a failed attempt to salve his political conscience without success.

This video sums up Peter Garrett nicely:
