  • The Mungabeans were a Brisbane, Australia indie rock band. They formed in 1984 and disbanded in 1993. The band was led by songwriter/drummer/producer Mike McCann aka "Lord Mike" and songwriter/guitarist Paul Grogan. The "Beans", as their fans called them, were named by original band leader Chris Flynn who left shortly after to form the Headstones. Their musical influences included Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone and the Velvet Underground. At a time when the Brisbane music scene was dominated by such names as the Vampire Lovers (Australian band), Screaming Tribesmen, the Ups & Downs and the Headstones, the band were a breath of fresh air with their outlandish clothes and over the top stage show and were soon a major rival to their contemporaries. At an early gig they went head to head with a Nick Cave show on the same night and managed to draw an equivalent crowd. They paved the way for the next wave of Brisbane underground bands such as Who’s Gerald and the Melniks who did not feel the need to take themselves too seriously. All of the Mungabeans records did well in the Australian independent charts.
