Band in a Bubble

Quan Yeomans, the band's guitarist, noted that he became more open to the idea of being in a bubble after seeing David Blaine's magic stunt.

Yeomans told The Age, "I happened to be there when David Blaine did his stunt over the Thames, and I just thought, 'wouldn't it be interesting if he was doing something creative, as opposed to just sitting around doing nothing?

'"[1] With the band's interest now confirmed, Curtis approached a number of television and media outlets, eventually finalising an agreement with Channel V Australia.

Regurgitator holed up inside the glass bubble for a period of three weeks, during which they recorded the album Mish Mash!

After three weeks, the band emerged from the bubble and performed their new songs live to a large audience in Federation Square.

Yeomans' mother Lien, a popular Vietnamese cook and author, prepared food for the band during their stay.

[2] Greg Moskovitch from Tone Deaf summarised in 2016, in the days that 'Channel V' was shut down that "Band In A Bubble stands as arguably one of the most unique moments in Australian music, the relic of a time when Channel V was a cultural force and the idea of musicians broadcasting their every thought and move was something of a novelty".
