As far as I can work out, Gary Twinn & Phil Foxman are still doing music, while the Burnham brothers are involved with filmmaking & movie soundtracks in New Zealand? My “SPIES” tell me that there earlier bass player, Randall Murphy, who came over to Melbourne with them from Perth in ‘75 or so, succumbed to hard drug use & became blind & was last heard of many years ago now, selling heroin from his flat somewhere around East St Kilda.
The GOOD news is, I just heard Supernaut are reforming! Yay! Maybe just a one-off, for that crappy “Countdown Spectacular” nonsense… Still, good news all the same. These ain’t tired old rockers like Hush, they’re still active in music as far as I can gather!
Yeah it was released as a single, b/w “Why?”, in 1977. It reappeared on the tragically rare “I Like It Both Ways” CD (which was mostly songs of the Nauts LP). I think Shock Records put this out, but for some reason it was pulled from the shelves straight away? Anyway, impossibly rare now – but you can find it on soulseek (albeit not the best mp3 quality!).
Has anyone got the Countdown performance of “Unemployed” by them,from around April 1978??
I am Gary twinns son and he is a beast!
Dude, I know Gary Twinn’s son… Ohmyfuckinggod.
who says you can’t go back????
Apparently after these guys spilt up, the singer went to London and hung out with punks like Billy Idol and Generation X
Good to hear this one after all those years
Must admit along with LRB they were my favorite act at the countdown spectacular. Thanks for posting this.

But hey, I could be wrong…?
I see there’s an “official” supernaut page on myspace now? with very detailed band bio & heaps of cool photos!
