Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning Sam. Any excuse is

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: a good excuse to get Rob Hurst in. But with

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: new Midnight Oil music on the way and a new

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: album with his daughter j O'shay, the timing is perfect

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: to have this man in.

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,920

Speaker 3: Sunset DVD out went back And what was that?

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,680

Speaker 2: Sunset when you get don't have tats? No, we're not

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 2: of the generator. Look our generation only people who had

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: tats were criminals, bikis and warfies.

14
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: That's it.

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we didn't fall into it either.

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Now people who are CEOs of banks have neck tattoos.

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: I hate that.

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Does your daughter j O'sha have tattoos?

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: No, she's not of that generation.

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk. I mean anyway, we've spoken to you

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: about this. But for those that don't know, Jay didn't

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: come back into.

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: Your life for a number of years, thirty six years, man, Yeah,

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: docted out as a base dopted out and I grew

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: up in South Australia to a loving family down there

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: in North Adelaide, and then, which was nineteen, found her

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: way to Sydney, started trying to survive in the Sydney

28
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: entertainment actually sung with in excess for the John Stephens

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: iteration of an accessful life, so we might have actually

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: met all those years ago, and then went to got

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 2: a publishing deal, went to London, made a couple of albums,

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: more in the Cape Bush kind of mode rather than country.

33
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: Came back met Mark O'sheay from Dolby on the Darling

34
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,000

Speaker 2: and now has two children, which made me a grand friend.

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 2: And bizarrely, the first time I spoke to Jay after

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: all those decades of separation was when Bones Hillman midnight

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: oil bassist invited them over to his place in Nashville,

39
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: knowing your connection, only finding out minutes before and then

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: handing the phone, handing the phone to Jay and saying

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: do you want to speak to your father for the

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: first time with each other?

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: By then no, my god, where did he find out?

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: The Yeah? Birth mother had sent a note around and

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: years yeah and Jay had found out.

46
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: So the birth mother had sent a note around saying

47
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: does anyone.

48
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: Know she'd been looking for all those years? Yeah, and

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: it's a great it's an amazing story.

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: And the fact that you're both musicians and have similar

51
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: sensibilities musically, politically, all that stuff.

52
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: Well, politically I'd like to think so, not always, Oh

53
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: I think so, I think so. But the main thing was, yeah,

54
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: we both love melody and music. She's an incredible singer.

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: She gets his amazing voice from her birth mother, not

56
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: me with my asthmatic bleat. But she's also she also

57
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: loves music with cellos and real instruments. So on our

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: album The Lost in the Found, we're mainly you used

59
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: in real instruments rather than technology.

60
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: Good, it's all technology.

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Now do you sort of tell her off, like have

62
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: you been able to come in at that level and say,

63
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: now listen here, I not.

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: Too thick because I pulled the dad card. Yeah? Occasionally, yeah,

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: very occasionally.

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: Does she ask you for allowance you get made?

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: Because why do you think that oils are still? This

68
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: is an expensive world we live in.

69
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: Abs Is there any any any drum solos on.

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: The there is? The album finishes with a drum solo

71
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: half hour. That's it was cut down from half an hour.

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: But there's a song written by jay the last one

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: called there You Are, where she describes us meeting at

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: Bronti for the first time like a slow motion movie.

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: You know where you come from. And for some reason

76
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: when we were recording it wasn't supposed to, but that

77
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: song ended prematurely and I just kept playing and built

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: these drums up. It's almost like a kind of Okay,

79
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: so I'm a drummer and she's a singer, and we'll

80
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: just get it going. Yeah, this is the collaboration that

81
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: we've been looking for after all those decades.

82
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: You know. For those that don't know, this is for

83
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: Amanda's benefit, power and the passion. Rob did this smoking

84
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 3: drum silo?

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: Well, yes I do not.

86
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: Do you know this?

87
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: Yes? I didn't think it was Animal from the Muppets,

88
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 2: although he was a pretty good drummer.

89
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: Rob Hurst and Jay O'shay's new album, The Lost and

90
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: Found is out. Now do yourself a favor and buy it. Rob.

91
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 3: It's always a treat.
