Have we had any from 'Men at Work'? 

What a great album was Business as Usual ... all the tracks stood up, and unique

Pub rock back in the day

    Two of, in my opinion, the best pop songs produced in this country (a couple of decades apart from each other)…

    Let's keep the Aussie theme going this Fri! 

     

     

    Might add this one...fascinating band the Reels.

    First met them at the Station Hotel and they were kind of a prog rock band then they morphed into a pop band with songs like Prefab Heart but Quasimodo's is the one for me (I liked all by the way).

    RIP Jeff...over the journey probably the greatest of the rock guitar players.

    The Reels were a brilliant band. I used to see them at French’s in Sydney in the very early 80’s and then saw them after a few years when the were touring the Neighbors album that contained all of the cover tunes as well as a revamped Shout and Deliver. I know the bass player Paul Abrahams… he now plays upright bass in bluegrass bands.

    Typically I listen to Zakk for his playing rather than lyrics but I always thought Sonic Brew was a great sing-along album.

    Been getting into this young fella from down the Otways of late. Seen him a few times around Melbourne and also up at the Riverboats Music Festival in Echuca. 

    Released his first album this week and it debuted at number 3 on the ARIA country charts above Lee Kernaghan, Keith Urban and Slim Dusty. Not bad for a kid from the bush. Been a while since I've embedded a link so hope this works!

    Very percussive.  A friend reckoned that standing up near the stage was like being caught in a pin-ball machine.  Possibly when they first hit Melbourne from Dubbo.  Still loved them.

    Not a proper music video, just a visualiser. But love how they can blend genres and good to see them blowing up this year. New album came out last week.

    Fellow Melbourne supporter David Briggs in fine form.

    Pretty sure they toured with Little Feat among others back in the day.

    Yes, he played with The Mothers of Invention for a while. Unfortunately he always had weight issues which eventually caught up with him. I was lucky enough to see them at Festival Hall in 1976… fantastic band.

    One story of his that touched me was when asked about his guitars he said he had owned a heap Strats (can't remember the number) but they'd all been stolen over the years.

    He recounted a story of the band staying at a seedy motel and he stayed up all night watching the truck to make sure it wasn't stolen...well he must of dozed off for a minute because when he opened his eyes it was gone along with another Strat.

    This got me to reading his history on Wikipedia, and it turned up a few interesting factoids, such as his first band Lowell George and the Factory, appeared on both F-Troop and Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.

    His time with Zappa was also interesting as were the circumstances leading to his exit from the Mothers… from, he was caught smoking dope, to, he wrote a song (Willin) about smoking dope, to, it was suggested by Zappa that he leave the Mothers and form his own band.

    Yes Zappa despite appearances was very anti drug.

    A friend tells the story of some band members sneaking a smoke with him when they were in Melbourne in the 70's.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
