"Rock Show" is a cut from Easy, Grinspoon's second album, and it went out as a single in May 2000 on Grudge, Universal's Australian imprint. The band had put in a long run of US touring behind their debut, Guide to Better Living, before starting the follow-up in August 1999 with producer Jonathan Burnside, whose earlier work took in Nirvana, Melvins, Depeche Mode and Meat Beat Manifesto. They recorded in Sydney and mixed in Melbourne.
Burnside's fingerprints go past the mixing desk: he engineered and mixed "Rock Show" and shares the lyric credit with Phil Jamieson and Pat Davern, while the music is credited to the band as a whole. It stalled at No. 78 on the Australian singles chart, but Triple J listeners voted it into their Hottest 100 for 2000, well ahead of its album-mate "Secrets".
