Stand Up (The Triffids song)
"Stand Up" is the debut single released by Australian rock group, The Triffids in July 1981.[1][2] The production by Peter Simpson for the Shake Some Action label was the prize for the band winning a song competition in late 1980.[1] The competition was sponsored by the Western Australian Institute of Technology (now Curtin University) Student Guild's radio show on 6NR (now Curtin FM). The lyrics of the chorus exemplify a tone that singer-songwriter, David McComb, would pursue throughout his work.[3]
McComb later said, "Most people preferred 'Farmers'. I guess people find that sort of thing zany. To this day we get people screaming out for that song when we play live."[4] Track listingAll tracks written by David McComb.[5]
