TISM is possibly the most notorious band in Australian rock history, mixing equal parts songwriting chops, culture-jamming panache, art-project long game, and Pythonesque absurdity. Now, forty years after forming and eighteen years after their last gig, Americans can finally claim their own piece of the TISM subversion pie with Collected Versus: a 2CD set that brings their greatest “hits” to U.S. audiences for the first time.

 

TISM scored Australian chart hits while the band wowed audiences with a series of absurd performance art happenings that inspired equal parts head-banging and stage-diving, danger and glee, laughs and total confusion. Its seven members dressed in balaclavas and rocked stage names like Humphrey B. Flaubert, Jock Cheese, Eugene de la Hot Croix-Bun, and Ron Hitler-Barassi. Their catchy guitar-laden electro-pop leavened with bottomless cynicism and dark, dark laughs will drive your senses wild. Blast your friends with air guitar to “Honk If You Love Fred Durst”, wonder what Adolph and Eva really got up to in that bunker with “Defecate On My Face”, shed a tear over “Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me”, and read stories of the unbelievable shenanigans they pulled at their legendary live shows. CD1 contains their complete singles, while CD2 contains 80 minutes of fan & band favorites!
