uncle e...deep in the bushes part three...
rex johnson film 2019
something strange happened at the beginning of the nineties..keen on war and its brilliant bounty war was deliberated and acted upon..it was set in motion with a sight set on mid twenty first century...the warmongers had approached a plan to invest sentient slavery with a new found zealotry...almost unrivaled since the days of stalin in its disrespect for common law and compassion...

nsw jumper by timothy pledger's "sandwich jesus"...in 1978 we were canoeing down the murrumbidgee river...i had on my nsw footy jumper as a proud young fella did around those parts...we got attacked by a couple of blokes...they overturned our vessels which included a stacked esky and my nsw jumper which i had taken off because it was so hot...i in a split second made the choice not to dive in and try and retrieve said object...many people drown in the bidgee because they go deep...and i wanted to go deep in my music..

deep in the bushes was first recorded by a bar owner at a funky little bar venue in smith st fitzroy whilst bohjass was playing. the band was tim pledger sax, ned collette guitar, belinda woods flute, cam mcAllister trumpet, ali watts bass. uncle e took some samples from that gig and turned it into the album "deep in the bushes" which is a prolonged meditation on the brutal aesthetics of entrenched warmongering that enslaves the lower classes and promotes elite enclaves of super wealthy that call the shots for all the worlds sentient and non sentient beings..
deep in the bushes was released on will guthries label antboy in 2005
deep in the bushes is also on sandwich jesus album from 2014 which is the recording used here for this video: sandwich jesus are tim pledger on saxes, ali watts double and electric bass, luigi portararo percussion, chris lewis percussion and harry shaw reynolds on drums.

le filmaker rexie johnson had been on sabbatical on the left bank...the scene was stifling for a boheme such as he...the gravel had started to invade his shoes...the earth was coming home...his attitude was changing..here is his startlingly revealing soft portrait from the event...an event that changed the lives of many aspiring auteurs..the yorodivye song by sandwich jesus recorded by dave nelson 2013 at soundpark..

unedited not for edit here we have the incomparable will guthrie on drums and the indefatigable christopher chunga young on bass clarinet and soprano saxophone with bohjass at bar 303..the song is rex-o-lube written in memoriam of an absolutely unforgettable bohjass tour to sydney and newcastle in 1990 see below for video
rex-o-lube is on the 2002 bohjass upas militia album "derriere..pourquia" which featured a 19 piece ensemble, including sean baxter, will guthrie, kynan robinson, eamon mcnelis, tom fryer, ben carr, dustin maclean and lachy maclean,
it is also on tim pledger's sandwich jesus album from 2014
and on bohjass upas militia (bum) album of 2013 entitled beneath the nighless sky

the line before breakfast...performed by bohjass: a satirical take on the artists ability to at once be aware of the extremely difficult social and economic reality and at the same time play into the role of narcissistic self loathing egoism that falls easily upon the bureaucratic nightmare of capitalism

in early 1998 bohjass travelled to sydney for a blast of gigs playing at legendary band venues the hopetoun hotel in surrey hills and at the lansdowne in chippendale...then a brilliant gig on the way home at the legendary wagga venue the tourist hotel. it was a great trip and the band were even better....damien evans bass...will guthrie drums...will poskitt piano...belinda woods flute...tim pledger saxophone...

the ice had fallen to the ground as hail...we were up on the fourth floor reading dostoyevski and painting mirages of truth across a diminished horizon...presented here today is a case of neo-pseudo regal imperialism once again rearing its ugly portal of wisdom...in other words: sandwich jesus plays remembering the doctor (for the doctor..barry carney)...harry shaw reynolds drums...daniel brates drums...ali watts basses...luigi portararo percussion...chris lewis percussion..timothy pledger saxophones..recorded by idge at soundpark northcote..from the 2013 album sandwich jesus...

chocolate ice from the 2002 album of the same name: a parable of disturbing insinuations....a drug "chocolate ice" has been manufactured by "the outcast pharmacists" specifically aimed at the upper and middle class youth after being betrayed by the ruling elite....violent, sacred, toxic, abusive and incredibly addictive it tears at the framework of gentrification and the urban dream of millions of citizens...bohjass are: cam mcAllister trumpet...tim pledger sax and guitar...ned collette guitar...belinda woods flute...ali watts bass...mike portley dums...

from the album high st 3070 comes this little gem...for neddy, someone that wanted to play in my band and then didn't...i'm so grateful for the beautiful thoughtful sounds ned Collette insinuated into the music ...breathing rhythmic lines interspersed with jarring extrapolations of sound...beautiful, poignant and fitting within the structure...
