The Creatures were a garage rock band which formed in Mildura, Australia in 1965 as The Beagle Boys.
[1] Australian music journalist, Glenn A. Baker, described their appearance: "at a time when moderate long hair was becoming acceptable, [they] dyed their tatty locks to bilious pastel shades and invited the media to react with appropriate horror".
[1] Hair colours were: red for Eric, blue for Herman, green for Rudolph, purple for Matcham, and pink for White.
[3] The Creatures were known for their hard-driving 60's punk and protopunk sound, as typified by their singles, "All I Do Is Cry" (1966) and "Ugly Thing" (1967).
[5] The same track was covered by Shutdown 66 for the tribute album, Wild About You!, recorded live-in-the-studio by radio station, 3CR's Cara Beltrame in 2004.
