Listen "Punk West #3: James Baker"
Episode Synopsis
James Baker was in Perth at year zero, when Punk music started. He played drums and created the legendary band the Victims, who ignited the city with their scowling energy. Their single “Television Addict/I’m Flipped Out Over You” still stands the test of time.
James drummed in many bands following the split, including Beasts Of Bourbon and the Painkillers. James came in for a chat about his love of music and why he is still drumming in 2021.
Punk West is an oral history of Perth’s punk scene. David Redding (Burn the Airwaves) talks to the scene’s stalwarts, stand-outs, and elder states(wo)men about the gigs, the bands, the venues, and the sounds.
