The band originated in Perth, Western Australia in the late 1970s. They went through various line-up changes until the early 1980s when they moved to Sydney and later Melbourne and released their first LP Treeless Plain. The band toured extensively in Europe and caught the attention of the UK music press, being featured on the cover of NME twice.
Four albums followed - Born Sandy Devotional, In the Pines, Calenture and The Black Swan - before the group disbanded in 1989.

Raining Pleasure by The Triffids Verses: AmC AmCAm
Refrain: FCAmD AmGAm
Trail through the wilderness Dryest season known to us Think about you all the time Think about you all the time
Trail through the sinfulness Dryest season known to us Dreamed I saw it all come down Dreamed I saw my pleasure raining down
Refrain: Salty lips to taste skin to touch Nothing matters very much In your arms its a raining pleasure I believe its raining pleasureer
Too little cash too much time to kill Buried alive in a shack on the side of a hill Hasn't rained for fifteen years Hasn't rained for fifteen years
Been three weeks I can't get through Phone is dead. Baby is that you? Been three weeks I can't get through Phone is dead. Baby is that you? Baby is that you?
Refrain: Salty lips to taste skin to touch Nothing matters very much In your arms its a raining pleasure I believe its raining pleasure
