Cattletruck began as a self-described "irreverent semi-acoustic punkabilly covers outfit", that would play "anywhere, anytime, invited or not". In early 1985 singer/guitarist Paul Janovskis decided to "get serious" and the group independently produced a single "Never Is", which received public radio airplay.

This allowed the band to do support gigs for A-list Australian and International acts. The story from there is another matter. Listen to see what happened!
