Music from Australia and New Zealand during the early 1970's:Madder Lake performing on Hit Scene the hit single '12 Pound Toothbrush' taken from the 1973 album 'Stillpoint'.Don't laugh, but Madder Lake once caused Queen to be booed off the stage! During their first visit to Australia, Queen played at the 1974 Sunbury festival, to a hostile crowd who were keen to see Madder Lake. After being booed, bottled and heckled by the stage announcer; Freddie Mercury turned to the crowd and announced that the next time his band were to visit Australia, they would be one of the world's biggest bands. Queen then left the stage to make way for Madder Lake.Madder Lake eventually faded into the 1970's Australian rock backwater, whilst Queen lived up to Freddie's promise and subsequently, were not to forgive Australia for the next two decades. http://www.alexgitlin.com/npp/...

Great.Who wants Queen when you've got the real deal.

Great song from a hugely underestimated band, but as often seems to be the case, they didn't get the breaks they deserved. If the suits had gotten them overseas to show the rest of the world what us Aussies already knew, I think they would've been fuckin' huge. Yet another injustice!

Yeah, Sunbury audience was more interested in rock/folk, Skyhooks and Queen were just too new/glam for the audience.

Gr8 band...saw Madder Lake in Melbourne in 1973...they sounded gr8 then and still sound awesome...very Aussie sounding and original sound...very fresh sounding band...when I saw them live I loved the wailing guitars, the keyboard Moog and the gruff voice of the vocalist...very underrated group...should have been far better known around the world.
