BAND CALENDAR
BIOGRAPHY
 The Pineapples From The Dawn Of Time formed in 1985, out of the ashes of Brisbane's punk scene from the early part of the decade. A band was formed out of members from outre outfits such as Kicks, Riptides, The Ken Palmer Connection, Tex Deadly & The Dum Dums and The Kingswood Trio.Often adorned in ridiculous costumes, the band played around Brisbane between 1985 and 1987 while gaining a cult following due to their onstage antics and songs about mass murderers, science fiction shows and drugs. In that time, the Pineapples released the double A side single 'Saha/Too Much Acid?' and an LP, 'Shocker' - both of which sold out shortly after their respective launches.Somewhere along the line, the band broke up (as these things happen). Fast forward to 2000 and the band are asked to reform to celebrate Brisbane independent broadcaster 4ZZZfm's 25th birthday and the original line-up plays before a packed house of nostalgia buffs and ambulance chasers alike. A secret show straight after at Double Helix was planned and executed. A year later, founding member Michael Hiron sadly passed away at his home. A tribute show was organised to commemorate his passing and thusly The Pineapples From The Dawn Of Time assembled a line-up as a tribute to this great contributor to the Australian independent music scheme of things.Filling in his big shoes behind the drum-kit, local music historian and Citroënthusiast Donat Tahiraj was asked and so the second chapter of the band began. Shortly after, former Lovs E Blur and Spank vocalist and Sandgate's premier socialite, Wendy Seary has joined the ranks to augment the line-up of Michael Gilmore (vocals), Rod McLeod (bass) and guitarists Clem Lukey and Peter Kroll.Popular demand brings a sheen to an otherwise dusty ornament and so the Pineapples From The Dawn Of Time assemble sporadically at the request of their rather dodgy punters.
