In early 1982, at a Melbourne University, the members of TISM formed a band out of "a pure sense of shared mediocrity",[1] and wrote more than 100 songs throughout the year which were "immediately discarded due to lack of interest" and later became known as "The Bedroom Recordings". Melbourne ( is the second most populous city in Australia, with a Metropolitan area population of approximately 3 [2] Ten tracks were recorded to tape and sold as the This Is Serious Mum Demo Tape (1985), a select few were heard on their début album Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance (1988) and a collection of twenty-five were released with tism.bestoff. (2002). This Is Serious Mum is a 1985 cassette demo tape by Australian band TISM. Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance is the debut album by the Australian band TISM. tismbestoff is a 2002 "best of" compilation CD by Australian band TISM. TISM's first concert was on December 6, 1983 – almost 12 months after dismissing their bedroom recordings. Events 1060 - Béla I of Hungary is crowned king of Hungary 1240 - Mongol invasion of Rus: Kiev Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar) The concert, at the Duncan McKinnon Athletics Reserve in the small suburb of Murrumbeena was considered a complete failure which caused the band to officially split up. Murrumbeena is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is located in the south east of Melbourne They reformed the following year and have considered every subsequent performance a "re-union gig". Gig is a term commonly used by bands with reference to their live shows generally the bands play through a speaker system more recently however there has been the worlds first Silent [2]
By 1985 the band was playing regularly around Melbourne and soon released their début single, Defecate On My Face (1986), a 7" vinyl packaged in a 12" sleeve with all four sides glued shut. " Defecate On My Face " was the first single released by Australian Alternative rock band TISM. A gramophone Their next single, 40 Years - Then Death (1987), was released on transparent vinyl in a clear plastic sleeve with no cover art or labels. " 40 Years - Then Death " is a 1986 single by Australian Alternative rock band TISM. TISM's first radio-friendly single, despite the obscure packaging, is received well. [2]
The début album, Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance (1988), is a double vinyl release in an embossed gatefold sleeve. Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance is the debut album by the Australian band TISM. The first record contained twelve of TISM's most popular tracks; the second was a pastiche of interviews, bedroom recordings and live diatribes. Despite this odd combination, Truckin' Songs entered the lower reaches of Australia's mainstream Top 40, as did the single Saturday Night Palsy. Saturday Night Palsy is the name of a single by TISM. It was released off Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance ( 1988) [2]
Phonogram Records signed the band in 1989 and paired with producer Lawrence Maddy, began work on their follow-up album. The band soon lost interest and channelled its remaining funds into The TISM Guide To Little Aesthetics, a book compiling lyrics, interviews and press releases. The TISM Guide To Little Aesthetics (the title appears to be a pun on "Little Athletics" a school children's athletic competition in some Australian states was a Lyrics (in singular form Lyric) are a set of words that accompany music either by speaking or singing An interview is a conversation between two or more people (the interviewer and the interviewee where Questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain information from A news release, media release, press release or press statement is a written or recorded Communication directed at members of the News When Phonogram released Hot Dogma (1990) it failed to reach the commercial charts, and TISM were fired despite owing the label tens of thousands of dollars. Hot Dogma, released in 1990 is the second full-length album by anonymous Australian band TISM. [2]
Over two nights in May, 1991, the band were filmed live and released the video Incontinent in Ten Continents (1991). This was the third video release by TISM. It contains a concert recorded on the 17th and 18th of May 1991 at The Old Greek Theatre These performances were the last for guitarist Leek Van Vlalen. [3]

The next EP, Australia The Lucky Cunt (1993) was TISM's most controversial release to date. Australia The Lucky Cunt is the name of a 1993 EP by anonymous Australian band TISM. A controversy or dispute is a commencement of a conflict between statements of accepted fact and a new or unaccepted proposal that disagrees with argues against Courts issued an injunction order of the CD when the Ken Done Society threatened legal action over the artwork,[2] which parodied Done's signature style and depicted a koala sucking a syringe.

The Triple J Hottest 100 is an annual music poll based on the votes of national Australian youth radio station Triple J listeners in order to determine their favourite [6]
Success exposed TISM to mainstream Australian radio and television, most of which was perplexed by the band's guerrilla approach to interviews and disinterest in the music industry. Radio is the transmission of signals by Modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible Light. Television in Australia began as early as 1934 in Brisbane with experimental transmissions by amateur station VK4CM The music industry is the business of Music.

Taking a year off from touring, TISM spent 1997 working on its next album with producer Lachlan Magoo. The album, www.tism.wanker.com (1998) was announced via a series of live Internet chats and webcasts. wwwtismwankercom is the name of a 1998 album by Australian alternative rock group TISM (This Is Serious Mum The first official music video for the album, I Might Be A Cunt, But I'm Not A Fucking Cunt, parodied the Tommy Lee/Pamela Anderson sex tape and was rarely broadcast.

www. tism. wanker. com sold reasonably well, thanks in part to an extensive Australian tour with Regurgitator, then at the height of their popularity, and The Fauves; however, sales were low compared to Machiavelli and the Four Seasons's success and TISM's contract with Shock had ended. Regurgitator is an Australian Rock band from Brisbane, currently consisting of lead singer/guitarist Quan Yeomans, bassist Ben Ely, The Fauves is an Australian rock band which came to prominence through their airplay on Triple J in the 1990s and early 2000s

TISM was not among them. [18]
Flaubert also remarked in the Triple J interview, when asked about the current status of TISM, "we are slowly moving towards our deaths". [16]
In early December, 2006 Flaubert contributed to the ABC's "My Favourite Album" program, where he stated his favourite album as "Any album – as long as it's by Nickelback!"[19] Later the same month, TISM were inducted into the EG Hall of Fame, at which they made an appearance and "a hilariously irreverent speech".

TISM have always used a variety of methods to conceal their identities. They have never officially revealed their names, instead choosing to use pseudonyms on their records and in interviews, all the while concealing their faces. A pseudonym is a fictitious alternative to a person's legal name (see Alias) Usually this involves the wearing of a balaclava, but ridiculous costumes have been created for the purpose, including Ku Klux Klan uniforms made of newspaper,[29] silver suits with puffy arms and legs,[29] giant foam paintings worn on the head,[29] large foam signs bearing the name of a Beatle,[30] fat 'businessman' suits,[29] and eight-foot-high inflatable headpieces,[7] among others. The term costume can refer to Wardrobe and dress in general or to the distinctive style of dress of a particular people class or period Ku Klux Klan ( KKK) is the name of several past and present secret domestic terrorist organizations in the United States, generally in the southern states that are A newspaper is a written Publication containing News, information and Advertising, usually printed on low-cost paper called Newsprint. The Beatles were a pop and rock band from Liverpool, England formed in 1960
Who TISM are beneath the masks has been the cause of much speculation by fans, with one theory contending that TISM is composed of members of other bands who don't want their fans to find out: popular targets of this theory include Painters and Dockers, Machine Gun Fellatio and even The Wiggles. Painters and Dockers are a band from Melbourne, Australia. Career They formed in 1982 with five musicians and now have seven members Machine Gun Fellatio was an alternative Australian band composing recording and playing music of a large range of styles The Wiggles are a children's musical group formed in Sydney, Australia in 1991 [31][32][33] A theory based on the band's tour schedule's roughly coinciding with school holidays proposes that TISM are school teachers. [34][35] Another common theory, based on the high instance of football references in their lyrics, is that they are AFL players,[35] however Humphrey B. The Australian Football League (AFL is both the professional Australian national competition in the Sport of Australian Rules Football and its highest Flaubert has stated that "We're actually not AFL, we're more violent and crappy. . . so you're looking at the VFL there. "[36]
When asked why they wear masks, Flaubert replied:
The answer that makes me sound good is that we desired to circumvent the cult of personality that is inherent in rock music by choosing to remain anonymous. Unlike every other band in rock we chose to be anonymous. The answer that makes me sound good would probably also incorporate some lengthy discussion about Brechtian alienation techniques, about our post modernist grasp of ever cooling universe, and a dehumanizing society encapsulated in the somewhat paramilitary aspect of our clothing. (born; 10 February 1898&ndash14 August 1956 was a German Poet, Playwright, and Theatre director. Postmodern philosophy' is a philosophical direction which is critical of the foundational assumptions and structures of philosophy All of those things would make me sound good, but actually we’re really boring guys. "[1]
During the 1990s TISM played live in ABC studios in Melbourne where equipment was damaged during their performance. On a later occasion, again at the ABC studios, prior to their performance, the ABC crew advised the band that they surreptitiously recorded the band without their disguises during their rehearsal/sound check and that if any equipment was damaged during their performance the recording would be released to the public. The video has never been made public however it is still in the possession of an ABC employee.
TISM are distinguished from other 'joke' or 'gimmick bands', by, among other things, their musical style. The band has rarely in any seriousness stated actual influences on the type of music they play, except that The Residents were a band which TISM 'did' notice and 'possibly' took some influence from. The Residents is an American Avant-garde music and Visual arts collective who have created over sixty albums created numerous musical short films [1] Though a clear link can be drawn from The Residents' The Third Reich 'n' Roll video, in which the band wore Ku Klux Klan uniforms made of newspaper:[37]TISM did exactly this at their first gig. The Third Reich 'n Roll is a 1976 album by the US avant-garde rock group The Residents. Ku Klux Klan ( KKK) is the name of several past and present secret domestic terrorist organizations in the United States, generally in the southern states that are Another link may be drawn to early TISM tracks "The Ballad Of The Semitic Nazi" or "I'm Gonna Treat Ya To A Neitschze Double Feature" which use a similar naming convention as The Residents. Other bands which may have influenced TISM are difficult to pinpoint.
The band has been criticised as unoriginal for continually opting for standard pop song structures. One reason for this is clarified in their book, The TISM Guide To Little Aesthetics, in the following paragraphs, when asked why their ideas are post-modern but their music is not:
"Give me a pop-song, mate. The TISM Guide To Little Aesthetics (the title appears to be a pun on "Little Athletics" a school children's athletic competition in some Australian states was a Give me a fucking pop-song. Not only is it more fun, it's pretty fuckin' hard to write as well. You can bung in as many out-of-tune oboes as you want, but putting chords together so they sound pleasant isn't as simple as it might appear. It mightn't be the Sistine Chapel, but what is? Ollie fucking Olsen with his stupid feedback and cough mixture?

As with most bands, recurring themes are present throughout TISM's extensive output, the most common being death, violence,[39] fame and prominent figures,[40][41] drugs, including alcohol,[42] and the AFL. Death is the termination of the biological functions that define living Organisms It refers both to a specific Violence is the exertion of force so as to injure or abuse The word is used broadly to describe the destructive action of natural phenomena like Storms and Earthquakes A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention A drug, broadly speaking is any chemical substance that when absorbed into the body In Chemistry, an alcohol is any Organic compound in which a Hydroxyl group ( - O[[hydrogen H]]) is bound to a Carbon The Australian Football League (AFL is both the professional Australian national competition in the Sport of Australian Rules Football and its highest [41] Many of TISM's lyrics are tinged in fatalism, mocking both the superficial and the sublime side of the human condition[41] and the desire for people to be loved and respected[41] (even just in the titles of such songs as "If You're Not Famous At Fourteen, You're Finished", "If You're Ugly, Forget It" and "Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me"). Fatalism is a Philosophical doctrine emphasizing the subjugation of all events or actions to fate or inevitable predetermination The human condition encompasses all of the Experience of being Human. Love is any of a number of Emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong Affection. Respect is esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person a personal quality or ability or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability " If You're Not Famous At Fourteen You're Finished " is the name of the first single by TISM released off De RigueurMortis ( 2001) Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me is a song by the Australian Alternative rock band TISM.
