Welcome to the Institute of Prat Culture, built as a sort of reference point for information about Scattered Order, a noise making band from Sydney, Australia, who began their post punk assault on listeners in 1979. Delve into the musical footnotes, relive the heady days of youth before tinnitus set in, or just laugh at the pictures...

From the dusty vaults of the legendary M Squared record label lurches that perennial genre busting favourite Scattered Order. This Mark 1 Version of the band finds original members Mitch Jones and Michael Tee combining for a sonic assault of samples, noise and guitars in this rare live performance.
Witness a brave attempt at DIY reverse engineering as MiniDiscs, cassettes and other deleted technology are used to demolish a bunch of new tunes plus old faves like “Heat” and “Koo Koo Kamus”.
Shane Fahey, Peter Richardson and Steve Couri reconvene as The Makers of the Dead Travel Fast with a bunch of new tunes to be unfurled in game, untainted post punk fashion. Rare and live.
