Screaming Tribesmen

The Screaming Tribesmen was an Australian garage rock band formed in Brisbane by Mick Medew, John Hartley & Murray Shepherd in 1981. After their I Don't Wanna Know EP and a string of successful singles, including "A Stand Alone" and their first Australian hit, "Igloo" which was penned by Medew and Died Pretty frontman Ron Peno, the band moved base to Sydney, home of their label Citadel Records. After relocation to Sydney, and a number of line-up changes the band settled on its most successful lineup of Medew, ex-Radio Birdman & The Hitmen, guitarist Chris Masuak, bass player Bob Wackley & drummer Warwick Fraser (ex-Feather & Hoi Polloi) who replaced Michael Charles after the recording of the Date With A Vampyre EP. The Vampyre EP reigned at the top of the Australian independent charts for over 40 weeks, while the band toured constantly in support.
