The Bedridden

The Bedridden was an Australian cult band formed in 1989. Their debut album, It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses An Eye, was released in 1990 through Round Records and featured notable tracks like "Bateman's Bay" and "Capital I". The band gained a strong following in the Australian pub rock scene. After reuniting with Baterz's solo success, they released I Told You It Wouldn't Work (1998), which included the well-known song "The Drowning of the Daddo Brothers". The band continued performing sporadically until 2002 when Baterz passed away at age 33. In 2005, a new lineup performed shows to launch The Anthem of the Crown & Anchor, a live compilation from 1998 performances.
