Thylacine was a three piece Australian rock band from the Northern Territory active during the 1990s. Thylacine was formed by indigenous guitarist, Josh Thomas ( Mixed Relations, Joe Geia, Us Mob), in Darwin, Northern Territory. [1] The band toured from Darwin to Adelaide and performed at the Adelaide Grand Prix, universities and numerous folk festivals. [2]
The band released the first album, Thylacine Live, through CAAMA Music, in 1995. [3] [4] It was described as being a good strong rock album. [2]
In 1997 they released their second album, Nightmare Dreaming, also through CAAMA Music. [5] [6] [7] The album was recorded and produced by Tom Colley at CAAMA Music Studios in Alice Springs and mastered at Grevillea Studios in Brisbane. [8]
Nightmare Dreaming according to critics was a "passionate hard-core album with an obvious likeness to Nine Inch Nails. This album boasts rasping guitars and powerful deep vocals. The sequenced keyboards on several tracks stand out and Josh’s multi-instrumental skills are used to the full." [2] It was also described as being "13 tracks for lost romantics who are standing on the edge of extinction, just like the Thylacine". [9]
