According to music historian, Ian McFarlane, Brisbane produced "some of the most anarchistic bands of the Australian punk rock era" and that it was a city nationally renowned for its ultra conservatism.
This outfit rapidly gained a strong local following, which was due to their tight and energetic live shows.
[4] The songs were "mixed gutsy guitar riffs, breakneck tempos, punk attitude and youthful exuberance in equal measure," according to Ian McFarlane.
The Fun Things earliest beginnings started in the mid 1970s with Brad Shepherd and John Hartley meeting each other to practice at their homes.
According to Brad Shepherd, they used to practice Zeppelin and Sabbath and Deep Purple songs in Hartley's rumpus room, or at his place.
They did that for a couple of years until Shepherd started reading in RAM (Rock Australia Magazine) about Radio Birdman.
Also during the early 2000s the Shepherd brothers formed a band called The Monarchs, which was loosely based on the Fun Things and Hitmen.
The original recording of Savage had also been included as part of the 2015 CD Compilation called "Stranded, The Chronicles Of Australian Punk".
