Random Aussie CD story...

Was at a pawn shop on the weekend, and amongst all Geoffs old Scandalus CD's i saw the spine of a Just Strait CD... COOL. until i pulled it out to find the cover insert was missing and replaced with some ugly dude who looked like MIchael Bolton. Searched the rest of the store.. but nothing.

Is that some super rare Aussie band? I've not heard of them.

 

A similar sh*tty thing happened to me in Manly once, at Cash Converters where I found The Brave's debut. I was so happy, until they couldn't find the actual CD to put in the case.

I've sold quite a few 'just strait' cds for around the $40 mark. they are good trade material.

Off the top of my head I can't recall exacctly what they sound like except for the fact that they have that 'typical' Aussie 90s rock sound. On my comment on the main page I have compared them to Axcel, Kickstart and Noiseworks.

Dave - Do you like The Angels stuff?? Have been getting all their back catologue recently and am really liking most of it. Great band.

Jez, they were just one of those bands I could never get into, just like AC/DC.

Sorry Jez, but the Angels do suck. So bad we Aussies can't even try to be supportive of our own flesh and blood.

The Angels are one band i cant stand...not because theyre bad, hell i dont know much about them, but theyve always just been there... just being annoying.

Same story here. I've seen/heard the singles, owned a tape or two but always thought they just sucked. But I really know very little about their whole career. And plan to keep it that way.

Fair enough guys. I can see why you probably wouldn't like their stuff, seeing as you don't like all the other 'Pub' (for want of a better word) style bands over there!! Obviously over here they aren't well known at all, so most of there stuff is pretty new to my ears.

 

I saw them supporting Cheap Trick on the 'All Shook Up' tour in 1980 and thought they were a pretty decent band. Then, non of their records were avaliable over here. The first cd I got was the 'Beyond Salvation' album which I thought (and still do) is really really good, especially the full Australian version which I now have. Recently I have been picking up most of their back catologue really cheap and have been enjoying most of it. Definately not the one trick pony material wise I thought they may be with, to my ears anyways, some pretty decent songs.

Just stumbled across my favourite Aussie band from the 70's, TASTE , In the Rolling Stone magazine, who have a new album out now titled "Rock Is Dead".

They had some great songs out in the 70's and it is interesting to see that you can by a compilation of the first two albums on CD directly from Ken Murdoch {The vocalist} himself.

The two albums they had back then have never been released on CD so It would be interesting to see what format the CD is and what is actually on it and the quality.

The myspace page has some samples from the new album and a couple of old clips {You Tube} from a music show we had back then on TV.

Check out an AUssie band called "Pretty Suicide" if a mix of Erotic Suicide and early glam Pantera sounds like your thing!

 

Their 3 track s/t demo they have out is top stuff!

O.K.!

Not really big THE ANGELS fans here, Has anyone ever hear of the TED MULRY GANG?

I only got to know him from the DAVID HASSELHOFF cover.

Does he have any c.d.s out?

I need help!

[RichieZ]

I like the Angels, aka Angel City, "Darkroom" and "Beyond Salvation" are pretty good stuff.

Sadly there is no cds around for Ted Mulry Gang, Ted left us a couple years, passed away with cancer.

I just picked up 'Circus Zombies - Another Timeless Classic'.

This is pretty good. Think Skid Row meets GnR with a sprinkling of Black Crowes.

Never heard of them before but I recalled the name from the HH database.

 

anyone know if these guys did anything else?

O you poor bastard! Thats all i can say...

I can't see any Aerosmith in it. Candy Ahrlots... a little. But more GnR, FPC, Skid ROw..

 

I think we should have a ruling:

Lindsay likes = Matt hates = sleaze

Simlarly,

Matt likes = Lindsay hates = aor

Also,

Geoff = emo

Also, as I juts said on my commonet on the main page, this is one of few Aussie indies from the 90's that don't sound 'pub rock'
