Andy Lewis (bassist)

“[[Blow Up the Pokies]]”, co-written by Tim Freedman ([[The Whitlams]]) not long before Lewis’ death, is a comment on the destruction that Freedman saw in Lewis’ life because of his gambling. It was awaiting release as a single at the time. Freedman soon after wrote “The Curse Stops Here”, a song describing being the “last one” from the original line-up of The Whitlams, and voicing his determination to survive. “The Curse Stops Here” was included as a B-side track on the “Blow Up the Pokies” single.
