SHAME FILE Music


SHAME FILE Music has two main arms of operation: a mailorder catalogue of quality Australian experimental music releases, and a small label producing releases mainly connected with my own musical output, as well as compilation releases.

The label was born in 1990 with the release of the KAOS “We Do Not Have Speech Impediments” cassette. The material on this cassette was culled from several hours of home-recorded jams that ranged from ridiculous noise/grind versions of glam metal favourites, to some quite extreme noise improvisations. Despite the rumours and accusations, I was NOT involved in this project (I swear!). The label name, SHAME FILE, was taken from the Hinch current affairs TV programme of the time, which had a regular segment of that name listing various dodgy tradesmen, conmen, asian queue-jumping paedophiles, etc. KAOS was so shamefully silly and potentially offensive, it seemed appropriate at the time; although I do sometimes regret the negative connotations associated with such a name. Some people do think noise and experimental music is shameful, so it may still be appropriate? Anyway, I’ve got a bit of name-recognition these days, so it is too late for a change now.
