Lovely Infestation is a psychoportrait and celebration of Distant Locust through lyrics, collages and poems written on the road. Told they were ‘too weird’ for Australia, Distant Locust left inner-city Sydney for Europe in 1991. Soon they were signed by Contempo International, which released Chemical Wedding Feast to rave reviews. They appeared on European MTV and toured Holland, Italy and Germany with industrial and techno icons Laibach, Clock DVA and Christian Death. On their return to Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald’s Shane Danielson described them as “…the underbelly of the underground” harbouring “…a fascination with the subversion of technology”, their music shaped “… into a pounding machine pulse, complete with eerie vocal effects and skewed, repetitive melodies that verge on the mesmeric.”
