Following up with Unit a year later, The ‘Gurge solidified themselves as Australia’s premier alternative rock band. A slew of ARIA’s, a new drummer (Front End Loaders’ Peter Kostic), a reality TV show, a best of and a whole heap of record sales followed. The band have released a total of 10 studio albums with their latest Headroxx released in August 2018 through Valve Records, a label run by longtime manager Paul Curtis.

Ben Ely is probably best know for being the bassist in Brisbane group, Regurgitator, but he also enjoys playing solo. After moving away from Brisbane 16 years ago, Ben returned early last year. The move back home, triggered memories from Ben's youth that he was inspired to make his latest album - Strange Tales of Drugs & Lost Love.
Seja talks to her guest Ben Ely (Regurgitator) about his dog Michael, hair metal, the punk scene in Brisbane that got him excited about playing music, working out how to get a show, and his first impressions of his future bandmate Quan. Ben tells Seja about being in the middle of band conflicts and how after years of history with the police, he finally got his ‘fuck you’ moment on stage at a ‘save the ABC’ show. Ben’s strange show story is illustrated by Jhonny Russell (@slckmgck) and can be seen on the HearSej Instagram (@hearsejpodcast) or on the HearSej Facebook page (www.facebook.com/hearsej).
