They are legendary in their hometown, could beat AC/DC at riffing and had a singer who's grip on reality was so tenuous, you never knew where the music would go next. Classic.<BR/><BR/>Love the site, check us out at the Ripple Effect www.ripplemusic.blogspot.com (you can find some Angels reviews and videos there). We're spreading the word on new, unheralded and lost classic bands.<BR/><BR/>We'd love to exchange links with you.

The band made up of Harry Vanda and Angus' big brother George Young, had some hits like "Hey St Peter" and "Walking In The Rain", and a very unique sound.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982453.post-47626877969566042662008-04-07T15:36:00.000-05:002008-04-07T15:36:00.000-05:00Don Coleman, Canada's Premiere AC/DC Vocalist, has...Don Coleman, Canada's Premiere AC/DC Vocalist, has recorded a song to celebrate the life and spirit of Bon Scott former frontman for AC/DC. The song "Women, Whiskey & Rock'n'Roll" has been airing daily in Australia on the Rebel FM Network (40 stations is Queensland / NSW ) plus two stations near Fremantle, Western Australia - where there was a concert to unveil a statue of Bon Scott - PERTH 107.3 FM and 89.7 FM on weekly shows. Each day there are more Australian, Canadian and American FM Stations coming onboard to air the song.<BR/> <BR/>The song launched on WRUW FM 91.1 in Cleveland, Ohio ( home of the R&R Hall of Fame) complete with an on air interview with Don Coleman, on a show dedicated to the memory of Bon Scott. Also on the show where Susan Masino, published author of "Let There Be Rock" a book on Bon and AC/DC, and President of the Bon Scott Fan Club, Doug Thorncroft, who both love the song. MP3 audio clips are available from the show on request. The song aired on the Newcap FM Network on K-Rock 105.5 in Charlottetown, PEI, along with an interview with Don, as well as FM Stations in St. John 98.9 FM (morning and afternoon 'drive time' programs), NB and Moncton 106.1 FM, NB, Canada. Don will be doing more media interviews this week with various Music Magazines.<BR/> <BR/>Other notable reviews came from Vince Lovegrove ( former bandmate of Bon's in the "Valentines"), Aussie Legend - Kevin Borich, "Angels" drummer Buzz Bidstrup who performed at the Fremantle concert to unveil the statue, in their re-formed band the "Party Boys". They all think the song is a 'ripper' (Aussie slang for fantastic). I received a request for the song from longtime friend of Bon and longtime bassist for Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Daisley who thinks Don did a great job on the song.<BR/> <BR/>Don has been receiving many offers from : England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the USA, to front many bands and to tour. One such offer came from the original frontman for AC/DC, Dave Evans who also performed in Fremantle.<BR/> <BR/>You can listen to the song by visiting the dedicated site at www.myspace.com/doncoleman .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982453.post-16886736302015832622008-04-07T07:17:00.000-05:002008-04-07T07:17:00.000-05:00So glad to see Split Enz in there.

They were gloriously left field and really didn't need the structure he brought to them. The original album, 'Second Thoughts' ('Mental Notes' in the UK) is one of my all time fav records and is a huge testament to the flair of Phil Judd and Tim Finn (who must be cursing younger brothers!)music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8982453.post-81057053103853026772008-04-03T22:49:00.000-05:002008-04-03T22:49:00.000-05:00Excellent post.

I have her CD, <B>Lily</B>, the one "The Day You Went Away" came from and I have always liked it even though I haven't played it in a long time. Unfortunately for me I never knew one fact about her. The CD was too well done for her to be a one-hit wonder (which I actually thought she was) so I'm glad she has a full and lengthy musical history.Charlie Riccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930103645729165149noreply@blogger.com
