The 1980 Listening Post - The Dugites - The Dugites

The Dugites - The Dugites 


#319

August 1980

The Dugites

The Dugites

Genre: New Wave

2.5 out of 5



The Dugites were a New Wave band from Australia that was around in the early 80s but never got out of their country.

The songs are cute but never take off completely. I vacillated beck and forth putting “In Your Car” in the highlights. The verses are fun and the choruses would be as well if they didn’t go one twice as long with half as much to say. In the end I left I chose to punish the band for boring the shit out of me with their “songs”.

“Gay Guys” had no reason being 7+ minutes long. “No One Would Listen” with it’s Kander And Ebb calliope almost gets there but, it’s too late in the proceedings to be swirly and cheeky with nothing leading up to it to hold your attention.
