20.01.2022 OK, someone asked me the other day about when the "NO WAY GET F F OFF."...retort first made its way in to Australian music vernacular..... I replied that I never heard it at any Angels show I played. Here is us live ( and sounding great) in 1979 at Latrobe Uni and not a whisper of it in the quiet bit...When was the first time you heard NWGFFO ? Doc Neeson - The Voice of The Angels #nowaygetfuckedfuckoff #audienceparticipation
17.01.2022 This track began as a demo recorded in my living room. We kept all the verses that were basically Kay on Ukulele and Sherene. ( no click) and then we re recorded the choruses (to a click). So the verses have no "time" except its own lilt....Add the magic of Sherene's voice to the instrumentation of James Gillard and the late Glen Hannah and boom! There you have it ! I love it, I hope you do :-)
16.01.2022 Found this old workhorse in the shed ! Except, I cant see where to put the USB ? The Golden Reel on the wall is for GANGgajang's debut album and a lot of the demos for that album were recorded on this machine....37 years ago !

12.01.2022 GANGgajang will be heading to NSW, QLD and MELB for selected gigs over January 2020. After 35 years in the bus, the band will take a well deserved break from touring after January and be back on the road in early 2021. So for our friends and fans it's the last chance to see us for a while......
12.01.2022 Not long to go now! MXXWLL has a new album, you can hear it at midnight.
11.01.2022 What a pleasure to talk with Paul Davies from the MEAA. Thanks Nichola Burton and The Pushworth Group for inviting me to join the convo. Contemporary musicians who are not being looked after by the Government plans need a united voice to cut through the arts chatter to demand a practical response to the total loss of their livelihood. Contemporary musicians will not be returning to "life as normal" for a long time.

06.01.2022 In 1987, I had a little band called The Stetsons, we made an album and a video for this song written by Reg Mombassa ....Most of the performers are in the video.
06.01.2022 Im usually behind the kit and the only person seated on stage but for this show I was the only one standing ! It was also the first time Id ever played congas with a group live which I did at Jims insistence It was a great show but I was sprung by piano player Garry Steel, who sidled up to me during a break in rehearsals and said you are not really a hand drummer are you mate Apart from that I really loved working with Jimmy Barnes - Official in acoustic mode after doing a few shows on the Soul Deep tour including a live recording in Melbourne.
