History

Regurgitator were originally a 3 piece indie rock band with Quan Yeomans (guitar and vocals), Ben Ely (bass and vocals) and Martin Lee (drums). The three had met on a bus in inner Brisbane. At this time, all three were already in several bands, some containing future members of The Resin Dogs and George. Regurgitator at this time were not considered to be the main focus of any members, and were recognised only when Ely provided Paul Curtis of Consume Management a demo for one of his other bands, Pangaea. The flip side to the Pangaea demo contained tracks put down with Yeomans and Lee as Regurgitator. The release of their first self-titled EP led to a stirring of the Brisbane music scene that was well and truly interested by the time of the release of their second EP, New, which spawned the radio hits "Track 1" and "Blubber Boy". After smash hit success from their rock and hip hop infused debut Tu-plang which featured the tracks "I Sucked A Lot Of Cock To Get Where I Am", "Kong Foo Sing" and "F.S.O", the band moved on with a more electronic and pop based sound on their second effort Unit. Surprisingly, the first single "Everyday Formula", the only song to contain the usual formula of distorted guitars and fast drumming, made a lacklustre impact compared with the following pop and keyboard style of the following singles, which were instant hits. During the tour for Unit, Shane Rudken was added to the band on keyboards. From this album, "Polyester Girl", "! (The Song Formerly Known As)", and "Black Bugs" all gained significant amounts of airplay. Unit is widely regarded as their finest work, although it is ritually dismissed by many fans of their first generation of work. It is also considered to be ahead of its time due to heavy 1980s referencing, well ahead of the popularisation of 1980s aesthetics which occurred post 2000.

Regurgitator participated in the Band in a Bubble project in 2004, a new reality TV-inspired media stunt sponsored and broadcast by Australian music channel, Channel V. The band entered a small glass recording studio, built in Federation Square in the centre of Melbourne, to record their new album. Pedestrians could look into most rooms of the "bubble" and could watch the band work, or tune in to a 24 hour digital cable television channel and watch their work on that. Nobody could enter or leave the bubble, a la Big Brother. In addition to the three band members, Australian producer Magoo, engineer Hugh and Channel V host Jabba were all also locked into the bubble with the band. This project resulted in 2004's Mish Mash!.
