EG Awards of 2009

Painters and Dockers

• The Painters and Dockers formed in 1982 for a one-off benefit gig to pay a friend's parking fines. They went on to develop a reputation for wild shows and the ability to play anywhere— from suburban trains for Rockin' the Rails gigs, a boat for Rockin' the Docks, a float at the Moomba Parade to the 20th floor of a building site and on a picket line. The original lineup last played more than 20 years ago, but felt that they never had proper closure on their career.^[1]
