BiographyHistory

One of the early punk bands of the Perth punk scene of the late 70's alongside bands such as Kim Salmon's Cheap Nasties. The Victims was founded by future Hoodoo Gurus members Dave Faulkner and James Baker, with Rudolph V.  They had a hit single with 'Television Addict' in 1978, and later disbanded in 1979. Kim Salmon notes in an interview that The Victims formed in East Perth, renting a large squalid house that they dubbed 'Victim Manor.'
