Loved to watch them play, 4 singers and did songs that no other band would attempt: This Boy, Good Vibrations etc... Fantastic. How Dick played his bass that rested on his Adams Apple I will never know.... Somewhere I have a tape of them playing at Selina's which was simulcast on I think 2JJ as it was then. I think Marty rehearsed with The Clones for a time after I left the band. Favourite original was 'She's my Mother' which I am sure Marty sang. Energy, sweat, harmonies, quirky and nice guys is how I remember them. I played in a band called The Clones in Sydney 78 to 80 and we played many times on the same bill as Loaded Dice.

I saw them in Sydney several times; twice in one day on one occasion. Arvo gig at the Brighton Hotel and night gig at the Bondi Lifesaver. They were brilliant! This is awesome!

They were one of our favouites. I still have No Sweat in my vinyl collection. Awesome power pop. A real shame they didn't go further.

Of possible interest too, Adelaide band Vertical Hold with their 1981 #1 local hit My Imagination : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zmi1X7RW4q4 Power pop with cello! I couldn't see an entry for them on the site, so figured mentioning it here was OK.

I can't thank you enough for uploading it. The boys will be pleased to see it also. Just awesome and so rare. I’ve been searching for someone who may have taped this for a couple of years now.
