Feel like not only owning but actually living inside a 905sqm piece of rock history, whilst simultaneously breaking into the Queensland property market? Well, that’s a crazy coincidence because the house where Regurgitator formed is for sale.
40 Coopers Camp Road, Bardon is currently being listed on RealEstate.com and is set to go under the hammer. The charming worker’s cottage is where Australian hit-makers Regurgitator first formed and where they wrote some of their most enduring songs.
“I wrote all of the early songs downstairs on a 4-track tape machine,” frontman Quan Yeomans told the Courier Mail. “Mum let me set up full drum kits and amplifiers and I made a racket.”
“My bass player came downstairs and saw me tinkering away and that’s what kicked [Regurgitator] off.” Among the tunes that were written in that history-making basement was ‘Polyester Girl’, the band’s most successful single to date.
The house has been the property of Lien Yeomans, Quan’s mother, for the past 35 years and was also the homebase for her own creative career. It’s where she first came up with the idea for her own restaurant, Green Papaya, and where she wrote a book that was eventually published by Random House.
According to the Courier Mail, the house will go to auction on Saturday, 26th November at 11.30am. It’s got three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and was the birthplace of the legacy of one of Australia’s greatest bands. What more do you need?
