Speaker 1: a decade.

10
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: So it's a good boss. Then you've stuck around.

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Now the Fall of Crawl tour. Quite so often people mark,

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, when a band started. We just saw coaches

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: will do it. But you are marking forty years since

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: the end of Crawl, the Fall of Crawl, which was

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six.

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: That's right, I am marking the end of that tan.

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: Why did you think you'd go that angle instead of

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: you mae.

19
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: It just came out of a joke, as often this

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: he's doing because you know, you do press and you

21
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: know we play all the time, and we've got this

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 3: great band and we're I just think we're the best

23
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 3: band in Australia. It's a great rock and roll band. Yep,

24
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: you know we do not minute shows and people know

25
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 3: all the songs they ye know, you can do ninety

26
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 3: minutes and it does really well.

27
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: But it was I was remarked.

28
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: I think I've said to somebody, you know, I wish

29
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: people you go in there and you're still defined by

30
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: what you did when you were nineteen or twenty years old.

31
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: Now from my vantage point now that I was a kid. Yes,

32
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: so I'm still sometimes.

33
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: Talented one sorry, talented one who knows that's arguable.

34
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: But I mean I'm still just the lead singer of

35
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: Australian Crawl and I go a minute that bloody band

36
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: finished in nineteen eighty six.

37
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: It's been forty years since the end of that thing.

38
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: Yes, even though we still do all the songs and

39
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: I love doing lots of the songs and all that

40
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: sort of stuff.

41
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: And I think it's the songs or the people.

42
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: It's just one of those things where as we're almost

43
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: hinting out off air, one cannot help.

44
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: But be defined by what one did when one was

45
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: just a double edged sword. It's amazing how much you change.

46
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and you have absolutely a totally different person

47
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: to what you were like when you were nineteen.

48
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: At least once maybe twice.

49
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's great.

50
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: I'm lucky that I was around when radio especially was

51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: playing Australian stuff all the.

52
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: Time, all day, all the time. You guys came out.

53
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: It was a real sweet spot for Australian music in

54
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: the early eighties. So many great bands.

55
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: And so many bands came out of that era because

56
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: there was huge support right across the board in the country.

57
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: You heard it on the radio, you know, you the gear,

58
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: there were venues, pubs, the TV shows, you know, there

59
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: was all this stuff we're discussed off here.

60
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: It's a completely different world.

61
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: Case in Point Boom Crush Opera in nineteen twenty seven

62
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: and one of my favorites, The Models are going to

63
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: be with you at Red Hills. It's going to be

64
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: quite the festival.

65
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: Quite the festal yeah, it's quite the first.

66
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Do you do anything any crossover.

67
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: At all with the friends? Yeah, yeah, no.

68
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 3: But there's not like a live a finish everyone on stuff.

69
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 3: I think, you know, they have, certainly those of us

70
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: who have been doing it for a while. Since you

71
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: finish usually in the car after ten minutes you're on

72
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 3: the way back.

73
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: They don't kick on like they used to in the eighties.

74
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: No, some of them do not the younger ones to do,

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: but not me.

76
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: No,
