Regurgitator is an Australian rock band from Brisbane consisting of lead singer/guitarist Quan Yeomans, bassist Ben Ely and drummer Peter Kostic. A blend of rock and electronica, they captured a devout following and have been credited for invigorating the Australian indie pop scene in 1996 with their debut album titled Tu Plang Regurgitator have undergone several changes in musical direction over the years, including a move towards hip-hop and away from their rock roots, which have not always been popular with some fans. The band are popular for their 3D animated videos which were created by Quan and his longtime partner (now ex-partner), Janet English (bassist and vocalist of Spiderbait) Quan and Janet originally worked together under the name of "The Shits" but were forced to change the name to "Happyland" on the release of their first album. The band are most notably famous for their stint recording their latest album in 2004, Mish Mash, which was recorded completely in what was called a 'bubble'; a glass dome able to be viewed by the public in Melbourne's Federation Square. The project was rigorously promoted in Australia as the 'Band in the Bubble'.

Music Is Sport Lyrics
Regurgitator
Music is sport
Come gather round the court
Come sweat and scream for your favourite team
As you cheer and down a beer
You think theyre looking like they could be back in form this year;
Theyre sporting all the name gear
They got the shoulder-smacking corporate-backing
Lights ablaring things are happening
You see the media sacarin glistening on their tongues
Theyll be climbing up the rungs to the top of the industry echelons
Keep it going on cos they didnt just come to play they came to win
Pros like them know losing is a sin
And when it comes down to handling their balls
These boysll give it their all from hand to eye
Down the line super fine control
Backhand forehand underhand power plays
Theyll be leaving all the opposition in a stunned daze
Fast man
They leave the rest behind
You find they always have the last laugh
As the crowd roar
Music is sport (x2)
The fests are the test theyre like the musical olympics
Or like grand final meets without the seats
Its band vs. band in an action packed day of non stop play off
Wheres the fucking pay off?
One gets the mic
One makes the pass
One executes the play
Time for a mexican wave
Crowd goes wild for racket skills
I teach lessons in regression but it sure dont pay the bills
What the hell we hitting for?
Record companies keeping score;
Trying to get those shiny plaqued trophies for the office wall
Pumping out the hits to feed the media blitz
Now watch the swollen champs blow the champers on bikini clad tits
Busted through a banner backstage
High five and then we pray to god;
Before we play to the throbbing mob
So if youre ever on the sideline or sweating on the court
Just remember my friends
Music is sport (x4)
