The excellent Australian band PARTY DOZEN are back with the single "Special Unit"

I’ve been researching post-punk and darkwave scenes around the world and started putting together a small interactive archive/map with bands, events, history, and regional scenes outside the usual recommendations.

I’m curious what people here would actually want from something like this.

Some things I’ve been experimenting with:

• scene maps by country/city
• timelines/history
• underground event tracking
• obscure regional bands
• community submissions

What feature would make a platform like this genuinely useful for you?

postpunkworld.com is the website.

I’m especially interested in lesser-known scenes outside the UK/Eastern Europe canon, so recommendations are very welcome. Feedback on mobile/web usability is very welcome too.

A great band with an unfortunate name. Malcolm McLaren had pulled the name from a William Burroughs novel and had considered using it for Bow Wow Wow (who used the phrase in the lyrics of "Mile High Club) but chose Bow Wow Wow. Then Boy George wanted to use the name for what became Culture Club, but the band said no, and ended up making an Everest of cash. Finally, it was claimed Andi Sex Gang, lead singer of a band that was originally called Panic Button. And here we are.

Google cautioned me when I looked up the video. So, I'm on a list or something. Great.

I’ve been building a small project focused on post-punk and darkwave bands around the world: maps, history, events, playlists, and discovering scenes outside the usual UK/Russian recommendations.

One thing I’m trying to figure out is what people actually want from a platform like this.

Some ideas I’m working on:

geographic scene navigation

timelines/history of bands

underground events

lesser-known regional scenes

user submissions for bands

If you’re into post-punk, what feature would genuinely make you keep using a site like this?

I’d also love recommendations for obscure bands/scenes, especially outside the usual canon.

The project is here if anyone wants to take a look: www.postpunkworld.com

This is release 9 of 18 live broadcasts recorded from 1981-83 at KCSB (Uni CA Santa Barbara). To those who have followed these releases - WARNING - this show is extra Goofy. Hey! We were students! I had just returned from my honeymoon and this show was all over the place in song selection but there are some obscure ones you may want to catch. This is the first show with Marc's co-host Mark. Included in this broadcast are songs by Pinpoint, Material, the Higsons (I don't want to live with Monkeys!), and the Normil Hawaiians (Party Party) - Check it out! And that's me cutting in over the DEVO song. One of our friends was working the night shift at a hotel and was listening to the show, so we were playing around with that.

I put it up on my YouTube channel Megarad Music: https://youtu.be/C9yiVXFnxyM

Killer bassline from Steven Kilbey...
This Australian band is one of my favorite. Probably not "strictly" post-punk but maybe neo-psychedelic, jangle-pop.
They still make (beautiful) records.
