Custard was an Australian indie rock band from Brisbane formed in 1990. The band originally featured David McCormack, Paul Medew, James Straker (The Melniks) and Shane Brunn (Hugbubble, Vanlustbader) and were known as Custard Gun. After a few shows and line up changes (namely James being replaced Matthew Strong) Custard Gun morphed into Custard. Custard existed for about a decade (albeit with revolving line up of drummers). The band released five albums - Buttercup/Bedford, Wahooti Fandango, Wisenheimer, We Have the Technology and Loverama, a stack of EPs and singles and a greatest hits compilation entitled Goodbye Cruel World. During their heyday they were a popular live act, appearing prominently for several years in the Triple J Hottest 100.
