“Too young to know,” Suze DeMarchi sang. “Too old to listen.”
Baby Animals came blazing out of the radio with the aptly titled ‘Early Warning’. It heralded the arrival of one of Australia’s most-loved bands.
Their self-titled debut – which also featured ‘Rush You’, ‘Painless’, ‘One Word’ and ‘Ain’t Gonna Get’ – is one of the biggest debuts and greatest rock records in Australian music history. It spent six weeks at #1, went eight times platinum and won three ARIA Awards, including Best Album.
More than three decades on, this is a story that’s still being written. It was no accident that the band’s most-recent studio album was called This Is Not The End.
Baby Animals’ natural habitat remains live on stage. They still rock like untamed teenagers. Too young to know, too old to listen.
