Regurgitator
Band Brisbane Australia Formed 1994
Regurgitator formed in 1994 in Brisbane, Australia. Regurgitator has 17 chart appearances on 10 radio countdowns from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 1995–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “! (The Song Formerly Known As)”, which appears on 3 lists with a best position of #6. The station that charted Regurgitator most often is Triple J (Australia (national)), with 17 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 1998.
Regurgitator are Brisbane's resident pranksters: Quan Yeomans on vocals, guitar and keyboards, Ben Ely on bass, keyboards and vocals, and Martin Lee on drums, a trio that treats genre like a buffet and rarely keeps a straight face while loading up the plate.
The New EP carried "Blubber Boy", and Tu-Plang, in May 1996, delivered "Kong Foo Sing". Unit, in November 1997, is where the jokes got catchy, a shiny, synth-happy record with "Polyester Girl", "Black Bugs" and "! (The Song Formerly Known As)"; it went triple platinum and took 5 ARIA Awards in 1998, including Album of the Year. ...Art followed in 1999.
Peter Kostic replaced Lee on drums late that year, and after Eduardo and Rodriguez Wage War on T-Wrecks, with "Fat Cop" and "Superstraight", they parted ways with Warner and went independent. That's when things got really weird: Mish Mash! was recorded for Band in a Bubble, a parody of reality television, and later albums were made in Rio de Janeiro and a Hong Kong apartment. They took a hiatus in 2013, came back in 2015, and released Invader in April 2024. There's even a children's spin-off, Regurgitator's Pogogo Show. One station's listeners have kept them on its countdowns for decades.
