"
Scattered Order
were formed in 1979 in Sydney, Australia, by
Mitch Jones
on vocals, guitar and bass guitar,
Michael Tee
on guitar, and
Simon Vidale
on drums. Jones worked as a live sound engineer for the
Birthday Party
and
Pel Mel
. The band formed their own record label, M Squared. They were joined in Scattered Order by
Patrick Gibson
on guitar and synthesizer in January of the following year. According to Australian musicologist,
Ian McFarlane
, their 'aim was to combine all manner of 'found sounds' and loose song structures with a perverse absurdist sense of humor (in the
Snakefinger/Residents
vein) and set them to a rock backing.'
Career of the Silly Thing
appeared in September 1985, and represented something of a breakthrough release, revealing a shift towards a more conventional and melodic yet still challenging sound. It was then described as being 'their most interesting and accessible record so far, with a more harmonious synthesis of noise and beat than they had previously achieved; it reveals an obsession with the grotesque on the part of major songwriters.' Mitch Jones said 'Dru and I got married. This is our honeymoon album. A lot of the lyrics were written on our honeymoon. I'm fascinated with the grotesque.' They toured with fellow Sydney-based label mates,
Severed Heads
, and supported United States group, the Residents, on their Australian tour. As a bonus to the original album comes the whole
Selling The Axe To Buy The Wood
EP."
