History.
BLAT was formed in 1989 by Phillip White, an amateur alternative muso/composer whose previous form included membership of underground Sydney acts IAU, Cannibals of Style and MK Ultra & the Assassins of Light. These groups featured metal percussion, improvised vocals, tape loops, synthesizers and home made instruments. Stage performances also made strong  use of visual media, including slides, film and video and installations. Notable live shows between 1982 – 1985 were: The Anarchists end of year party Sydney University, The first underground Hyde Park railway tunnel event, Video Magazine at the Sydney Trade Union Club and performances at Art Unit, The Yugal Soccer Club and Newtown Rules Club. No music was released during this period although there are recordings of jam sessions and live performances which survive to this day.
