Kempy, if you can fit them in I would lurve to hear these songs by Aussie artists.
"So Tough" - JO'K
"Some Kinda Fun" - Missing Links
"Tossin' & Turnin'"- Ray Hoff and the Hoff Beats
"Farmer John" - Johnny Cooper
Kempy.. how about Shane's original Wine, Whiskey.. from the BHRamblers CD recorded right here in good old Melbourne at the cost of one slab of Melbourne Bitter -that's about as Aussie as it gets.
Sorry Paul but one of your suggestions is sending me off stream here and into a tirade.
I detest the pop song Khe Sahn.
I have the impression it might have been just the chance for Cold Chisel to cash in on the Australian publicÂ’s reappraisal, and even guilt, over the whole Viet Nam thing.
Correct me if I am wrong but the Khe Sahn US Marine base was up near the border and was not in the Australian area of operations.
“… to the sappers ‘round Vung Tau,” would have been more appropriate, and “… with the diggers at Long Tan” even better.
And of what relevance is “sailed into Sydney Harbour” and “1973”?
And why does a helicopter pilot have emotional ties to Army Engineers; not even RAEME.
The Red Gum song “Only 19” is probably better except that Nashos were only 20.
Hey Kempy.. How far out Do you transmit ? I use a 1 diode crystal set I made in form 1 at Ferntree gully tech. It worked fine on 3AK 3DB 3UZ .But piss weak on FM . Dick Smith says I need a bigger jam tin to pick up todays modern stations .Can you please turn the volume up a tad tomorrow .And can you please play that well known aussie song.... Its a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll..
I'll back RobE with the J O'K tracks, but could you add "She's my baby" and "Move baby move".
And what about the Mentals with "Live it up" and Dynamic Hepnotics "Soul kinda feeling" and "Hepno beat"
Ta Kempy! :blink:
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass....it's about learning to dance in the rain.
There's loads of Aussie Rockabilly and 50's style bands who have released some top-flight stuff: Satellites, Atomic Hi-Tones, The Creepers, Salt Flat Trio, Retro Rockets, Jump Devils, Itchy Fingers, Stringbusters, Detonators, Straight 8's, Louis King, Benny and The Fly By Niters, Gator Bait, Blackhill Ramblers (not to mention the Preston Story compilations) to name a few off the top of my head.......leave the pop stuff for "mainstream" radio. B)
My thoughts exactly Cat. Firebird, Salt Flat Trio, Jeannie Lush & the Lubricators, Roadsters, BobKats, Chrome Daddies. Diddley Daddies in fact all the DaddyÂ’s. Just keep it raw, keep it rockinÂ’ and keep it Aussie.
Live & let Live, Love & let Love, Rock & let Roll, plus related clichés.
