Having been raised on a chicken<br />
farm in the shadow of the Big<br />
Pineapple in Queensl<strong>and</strong>, Geoff<br />
<strong>and</strong> Ben Corbett sought their<br />
artistic chops deep in Bjelke-<br />
Peterson territory. Dabbling<br />
in punk <strong>and</strong> performance art<br />
during the 80s in Queensl<strong>and</strong><br />
meant tapping a fecund seam of<br />
antiestablishment fervour – the<br />
kind that remains flaccid <strong>and</strong><br />
toothless until finding itself<br />
eyeballing active Police State<br />
oppression. in 1995, the brothers<br />
write <strong>and</strong> perform their deathcountry<br />
musical Country Style<br />
livers <strong>and</strong> realise they might<br />
be onto something, promptly<br />
scraping up the afterbirth <strong>and</strong><br />
breathing life into the perpetual<br />
motion ‘cane-swamp rockabilly<br />
Punk’ machine that becomes<br />
known as Sixfthick.<br />
