I found out about them completely by chance... they were supporting Slade at Chippenham GoldDiggers around 1982/3/4. Found a copy of "Circus Animals" in a local S/Hand shop & it's been a Desert Island Disc ever since. Cracking band. Great melodic songs, interesting arrangements. fine playing & stunning vocals. I keep meaning to have a go at tabbing out 'Bow River' and 'Hound Dog'... one day. Pete. Quote
chris_b Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 I've heard of Jimmy Barnes. I used to see him wandering about at gigs in Sydney in 1980. Cold Chisel were very good but never had much success outside Oz. Quote
Stingray5 Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Holy cr*p! 25 years working in and managing record stores and I still find stuff I missed the first time around... I discovered the Little River Band decades ago, so how I missed these guys I'll never know. Oh well, better late than never, eh?! Thanks wookmeista for flagging up CC. Quote

Thanks wookmeista for flagging up CC.[/quote] It happens & it it's nice when it does . There's a double "Very Best Of" that covers pretty much all the bases, with a couple of exceptions. Great basslines, inventive & melodic, but never in the way. Pete. Quote
hillbilly deluxe Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Cool,and a nice old hybrid P bass too. Quote

WOOKMEISTA Posted August 14, 2010 Author Posted August 14, 2010 Yeh Bassmasta is a good site but it's more of a guide. I find the harder the song, the less accurate they are. Basstabarchive.com was awesome but it's been down for years due to copyright laws. Quote

Obviously some catching up to do, in which I note Amazon will assist quite nicely! Steve Edited August 15, 2010 by Stingray5 Quote
chris_b Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Mental As Anything is another great Sydney band from the same time. Quote
WOOKMEISTA Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 Mental as anything rule. "Live it up" is probabley their most popular song. Sick bass line. Wook Quote
