Emerging from the 'Little Bands'
scene via Junk Logic, Microfilm was an avant-garde post-punk
band featuring the non-nonsensical vocals of Lisa Gerrard, who would later
achieve fame by being part of Dead Can Dance with Brendan
Perry. The band released one 7" single in 1980 which was released by
Unforgettable Music, a label founded by Melbourne post-punk icon Ron Rude, and
consisted of the tracks, 'Centrefold' and 'Window'. It was issued
individually as well as packaged in the 'Cardboard Box' set along with the two
other 7"s in Unforgettable's catalogue - Ron Rude's Piano Piano and The
Fabulous Marquises. 'Summer House', another Microfilm track, was included
on Rude's 'From Belgrave With Love' compilation (Cleopatra Records
1981). 'Centrefold' can also be found on Chapter Music's 'Can't Stop
It' 2 CD.
