HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2010
- Pig City is an underground anthem from Brisbane, Australia in the 80s when Premier "Jackboot" Joh Bjelke Petersen used the police to stifle dissenting citizens while failing to notice the police corruption that went all the way to Commissioner. Recorded in the studios of radio 4ZZZ then at St Lucia in 1983 by the Parameters - Tony Kneipp on vocals, rhythm and slide guitars and saxophone, Ian Graham on lead guitar and bass and Steven Pritchard on drums. Super 8 footage filmed, edited and produced by Stephen Stockwell in 1985.

In my view this will always be the State Anthem for Queensland till the day i die.
Always was and always will be PIG CITY
Arr yes...brizzo...in the 80's....
I doubt this video means anything to anyone who's not from a certain demographic from a certain part of south-east Queensland, but I'm glad it's here for all to see. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the comments say it all.
Etched in my brain.
I am 61 now.
@@greggilmour3482 me...60
Lived through Joh’s reign of oppression demonstrated at SEQEB strikes and ran from the Johnny Hoppers more than once after dog squad raids on parties looking for drugs
Ah Queensland beautiful one day
A hotbed of crime and political corruption the next
This song is a foundation stone of Queensland! Thank you 4zzz for every thing you did, to promote this incredibly important anthem.
Run Johnny run
Should be re RELEASED
I ivied with most of them on hil dorchcresent will tony and the girl sax player
Do you mean Linda? Linda Loop? (Formerly of the Tape Loops?)
that's awesome, heard the wildest stories about what they got up to in those sharehouses back in the day
00:26 Crazy to see those cranes building the transit center that was recently torn down and now looks the same.
sad its gone that building
I love you prof you're the best ❤❤
Thank you Mr Dj
4zzz
Oh the good ol days where a family of 4 could be arrested for walking together for inciting a riot.
6 am must be the law
Classic line
Walls have eyes and phones have ears.
had to be there to understand it..
It took a lot of guts to record this back then. Like putting a target on your back. Not great music but great 'Stand" .
Great old cars too.
Another, Fitzgerald job, coming right back to haunt us all!
Even the tonal centre of this song leans to the left! love it!! raw, nostalgic, unable to ever be covered because Tony Kneipp will never be able to bring back that moment nor any of the improvised feel of it. thanks for posting with the great old footage of Brisbane when it seemed to rain more and the smell of mud pervaded the Valley and West end, making the term 'swampies' perfect for the blackclad crewcut crowd.
Quel est ce groupe qui joue la musique💐🙋👏🏾👏🏾
crewcut?
Theyre all scum but you're a fuckin clown with that statement. Sir Joe is from the sticks and as hillbilly and national party as it gets. 4zzz is now in the building the Queensland communist party head quarters were and Peter beatie was the leader fighting against them. The left back then was working class or real progressive thinking people and don't act that period, they fight that shit which is now taken over by spoilt and entitled generation of sociopaths, who only care about themselves and how theyre seen by others, hence the acting and clear misunderstanding of the issues they claim to fight for. This shit is all just manipulation by George soros and his club of p3do parasites. He pays emms wage to claim theyre blm, antifa or whatever other divisive groups he can pit us against each other by the greed of its members who claim to represent it. If you paid em to say the sky is a big swimming pool and that's why its blue and you'll pay a wage for it,!? People do a lot more extreme shit for money every day and is not even an issue or noticed, unless they want to notice
@@jeremirobertson948 cut the abuse and there's some stuff there I agree with. re divisive groups posing as left.
@@fratermanix sorry, was linda making a point by acting like a clown, I wasn't trying to attack you personally but what the herd mentality represents. A word 8s a word and none are any different from each other, they only have power if you give them that and that is just another classic example. They have an 'ism' to put on the end of everything to pit us all against each other ie: communism , socialism, capitalism, the left, the right , racism, fascism etc etc . How about we all just identify as human beings first and foremost!?
RIP Oscar 18-9-1964--17-3-2010 love you bro, miss you so feckin much!
Circa '85' Brisbane Punk..
All we wanted to do was have a good time, fuck'in cop's had a different agenda! Don't know how many times i spent in drunk tank! I seen a LOT of great bands & drank with a LOT of cool people!
Was right beside ya bro would not change it if i could strange as it sounds great times peace and love lloydy
The worst thing about the Fitzgerald Inquiry, not 1 of joh's secret police (special branch and regional taskforce) went to the big house
ALLWAYS GOT KICKIN FROM THE COPS...THEY WOULD PUT ANYTHING ON YOU..PUNK ROCK..
No but many of 'us' did... Queensland state of corruption.
Smiling remembering those days. Crap govt,shit all over civil rights but fuck we had fun. Still got a Pig City single stashed away somewhere.
Then and NOW
Je vient de découvrir ,ça c'est du bon💐💐💐💐💐👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙋🙋🙋🙋🐌🐢
luv this stuff
Suddenly relevant again in Brisbane.
they're back
love the edits
No problems with youth justice in those days.
The not so funny thing was that neither Goss nor the Fitzgerald Enquiry jailed a single member of the various arms of Joh's secret police
Just remembered something from back in the day ... The police actually directed traffic around a truck unloading gaming tables for the casino at bubbles bath house. Considering what was illegal back in the day, we sure had more than a few ways to satisfy our vices. :)
Oh and the massage shop on the site of the old bubbles bath house still offers happy endings ... some things never change
danjella wallace At least Tim Brennan came to a sticky end. A suitable end to at least one Taringa CIB aresehole.
Except terri of course he had a book with all the names of high profile pedophile s he tried to hand it in while he was in jail they took it straight to the government shredder and got rid of it true story unfortunately im old enough to remember this horrid chapter in my home town peace and love lloydy
Well, Terry Lewis and the ‘minister for everything’ that repulsive slug, Russ Hinze, conveniently popped his clogs before incarceration from memory. This is the only anthem I recognise for Brisbane.
A lot of people lived in Brisie without knowing about it. It's not like it was commercial...
This now...for Victoria
Oh no, that bad huh?! The band "Trash f All Nations"(my brother Oscar was the drummer and Tony Kneipp the singer) performed "Pig City"in Melbourne in 1986,
at the first ever anarchist festival, celebrating 100yrs of anarchists in Australia. Myself and at least 30 other ex-Brispain refugees got on stage to yell
"Pig City!! during the performance". After having spent the prior 6 weeks in Brispain I jumped at the chance to flee to Melbourne, and ended up living with my
best friend from primary and high school in Brisbane for 4 months. I found it very heart warming to be welcomed with opened arms by the many who'd experienced
the police corruption and raids first hand..
P.S I spent a total of 8 months in Australia before deciding to move back to the Netherlands permanently and the contrast with cops here couldn't have been greater.
However the paranoia upon sensing cops in my vicinity took several years to dissipate. Wishing you well and hoping things are getting better! 💜✌
Put a comment on this a few months back it's been taken down to much truth any way wot a great ripper anthem peace and love lloydy
A concise and timeless tune to educate those to young to remember or have experienced just how fucked up the state affairs can be made by a peanut picking, simpleton and his moral compass lacking ministers and buddies, police cheif etc etc.
Scumbag Newman bringing back the late 70's early 80's, Joh Style
Will Can Do be using this in his election ads?
It’s all real
Queenslander 🤖
Thanks Andrew Stafford
Ohhh god Bikie Laws....next thing will be illegal to walk 3 abreast down the road. Oh Hell....
SLFTragic covid19. You predicted it man!!!!!
Swampies were early Brisbane goths. They favoured black clothes, white make-up and big hair but also a bit more flannelette check than any European goth would display. Swampies also favoured dirge-like music that was similar to wading through an aural swamp. Making up your own sub-culture with a bit from NME, a bit from popular culture and a large slab of anarchic, anti-Joh, anti-cop, anti-everything diatribe was a very Brisbane thing in that period. Swampies forever.
Stephen Stockwell , comment se nomme le groupe qui joue,pigs city,merci💐💐🙋💐💐
No, not flannelette that's Kurt Cobain & American "grunge". Try paisley.
Don't know why we're talking about Swampies. Swampies are not punks. (Also, while we're talking about it some people confuse ACDC with punk but ACDC are Bevens not punks.) Swampies are like 'softcore' goths, and yes, wearing a lot of paisley, like the Hoodoo Gurus: ruclips.net/video/oNNHEZzBDZk/видео.html . Thanks for posting this clip. Quintessential Brisbane.
I'm sure there was some crossover but flannies in my experience were the preserve of bevans; the uniform of whom was flannies, stone washed jeans and ugg boots, although that may have been a later 80s version.
Always amuses me now, living in the UK, to see posh girls walking down the street in ugg boots.
@@twistedmindsex I think he's referring to that trend started by Malcolm McLaren, getting the Sex Pistols to wear the Queens official Tartan (the red one) but adding diagonal zips & ripping holes in it etc to subvert the flavour - people were wearing tartan here in the punk scene possibly unaware of the origin reason..
you must have been looking the other way at the time
Don't wanna know, you've heard it before,
If you cop this lot you'll sure get more...
@berowra17 exactly
Swampies?
I lived in Brisbane from 80-86 and don't understand this reference.
Emos bro
Goths
Definitely not emo. . Thank you very the fck much. Not quite goth and not quite punk either, more a mash of both. Punk lite.
What's changed?
As a young fella growing up at uni in Brissy back in these days, songs like this actually sparked an interest in me joining the cops. Pig City!!
Why the fuck would it do that mate
Any relation to Shaun???
Svp,qui est ce groupe.💐🙋
Parameters. This group is the Parameters, formed specifically to record this truly magnificent anthem
Joh for Canberra!!
I was taught by the bloke who was his campaign manager Joe Syracuse, a lecturer at UQ in American history. He was a brilliant lecturer but clearly a tool.
@@seang3019 Like Peter Slipper
A friend bought a 2nd hand fridge that had a "Joh for PM" sticker on it. Previous owner had nikko'd "har... har... har..." next to it.
I was a feeling of wrong
