Lubricated Goat were an Australian rock band of the 1980s. They achieved a brief notoriety for playing on a television programme naked, with only their instruments. They are also credited for laying the foundations of what later became grunge & 90’s noise Rock and roll (also spelled Rock n Roll, especially in its first decade), also called rock, is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles. ...

Lubricated Goat was formed by Stu Spasm (real name Stuart Grey) Spasm had previously been in bands such as Singing Dog with Nick Barker and Salamander Jim with Tex Perkins. Upon returning from England Stu went to Perth to visit with Singing Dog drummer Brett Ford who was then playing in The Kryptonics with Peter Hartley. While in Perth Stu recorded side one of what later became 'Plays The Devil’s Music' EP at No Sweat Studios with Ford & Hartley. Side Two was recorded on a 4 Track recorder with drummer Martin Bland (Bloodloss/Salamander Jim) in Adelaide. Lubricated Goat along with Thug were signed to Red Eye Records offshoot Black Eye Records. The band soon relocated to Sydney where Stu meet Guy Madison of the Greenhouse Effect (now in Mudehoney) and offered him to play bass for Lubricated Goat. The majority of the band lived on Cleveland Street in an old rundown 3 story mansion which was soon dubbed 'Gracelands'. The house was a creative haven for musicians and artists that were known to host art shows & nude discos. In 1988 Lubricated Goat released their debut full length ' Paddock of Love ' which featured the track 'In the Raw' which was later mimed to nude on ABC TV (Australian Government Broadcaster) on Andrew Denton's show Blah Blah Blah which created a national outrage amongst the media. A documentary has been made about the event also titled 'In The Raw' which explains how the band came to be nude in the first place. Around this time there also was a line up change with Peter Hartley & Brett Ford being sacked and replaced by guitarist Charles Tolnay of King Snake Roost & Gene the drummer from The Space Juniors recording the EP Schadenfreude released in 1989. Lubricated Goat also released their back catalogue on Amphetamine Reptile in American and Normal in Europe then making their first America tour in mid 1989.
