DESCRIPTION:
In 1998 following Hoodoo Gurus split, Dave Faulkner formed a new band, Antenna, collaborating with long-time friend Kim Salmon (The Cheap Nasties, The Manikins, The Scientists, Beasts of Bourbon). Also in Antenna was Justin Frew and Stuart McCarthy (both of Southend). Antenna recorded an album (between April and August 1998), and then made its live debut at the Telstra Concert of the Century/Mushroom 25th anniversary in November, 1998. The concert coincided with the release of the band's debut single, "Come on Spring", and album, Installation. Guest performers on the album included Matt Thomas (The Mavis's) on "All Rise", and Christina Amphlett (Divinyls) on "Divine". "Come on Spring" reached #64 on the 1998 Triple J Hottest 100 list. Antenna appeared on the 1999 Big Day Out tour but disbanded soon after.
