Drunk Mums formed in Cairns, Australia about five years ago, in a microwave, early blues being the meat, tied down by some ranty garage cling wrap. They held Blood and Guts parties, helping unknown young bands get started as there was nowhere else to do so. Everyone lived in a battered old Queenslander which eventually burnt down, and as instead of work, played a residency at the infamous Johno's Blues Bar before its demise.
