Get set for a dose of pure nineties nostalgia this Ausmusic month with a one hour special Recovery: The Music and The Mayhem.
Celebrating the legendary ABC music show Recovery, host Dylan Lewis will take you on a blissfully chaotic ride through the show’s best performances, interviews and moments. Joining Dylan are some of his Recovery co-hosts including Jane Gazzo, film reviewer turned Hollywood director Leigh Whannell and the ever-mysterious The Enforcer. Also along for the ride are the musicians who were there, re-living their Recovery experiences and sharing their insights on the 90s and what the beloved show meant to them.
Dishing the dirt are Bernard Fanning,Tim Rogers, Killing Heidi, members of Silverchair, Spiderbait, Regurgitator, Something for Kate, Magic Dirt, Jebediah,The Living End, The Superjesus, amongst many more.
“Working on Recovery back in the day was rad. It was crazy, loose and so fun. Putting together this rockumentary has been nostalgic bliss for me and I can’t wait for old fans and new ones to experience it”, says Dylan.
From 1996 to 2000, Recovery was compulsory viewing for a generation of Australians who tuned in every Saturday morning at 9am for three hours ofanarchic television. Local and international artists performed live, Hollywood stars dropped by to spruik their latest film and the audience was never quite sure what they’d just witnessed and what mayhem was up next.
This Ausmusic Month, Recovery: The Music and The Mayhem will appear on your TV twice in one week, airing on Saturday 23 November at 9am and Wednesday 27 November at 9pm.
Relive the original Recovery experience on a Saturday morning when Dylan takes over the Rage couch to reclaim his 9 o’clock timeslot with a special age-appropriate presentation of Recovery: The Music and the Mayhem. The one hour romp through all that was right (and so wrong) about Recovery, will be followed with Dylan’s pick of some of the most revered and regaled live performances from the vault by the likes of You Am I, TISM, Regurgitator, Magic Dirt, Powderfinger and Silverchair.
For those who grew up with Recovery but now find their Saturday mornings devoted to adulting: the ruder, louder, uncut version will screen onWednesday 27 November at 9.00pm.
For fans wanting more, additional Recovery content will appear on iview and YouTube following the broadcast on the 27th including full performances and extended interviews.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
