2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,360

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: the look on your face and what you said to me. Really,

4
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,320

00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 3: two things about them.

Speaker 1: That's what bend is about.

11
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: We hold hands and get through and we fell over

12
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 2: the line.

13
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,840

00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: I've been handed the envelope.

17
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: It's so you didn't know she did a choice this time?

18
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: No, no, no, Well, when I was handed the choice, okay,

Speaker 1: Ah Angel, one of Australia's finest rock bands, Angels.

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: There's only one thing I know about the Angels. That's

24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 3: how to sing the bit in the.

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: So if I am I ever going to see your

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: face again?

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: No way again? Well you can say it's podcast. You

28
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: could say, gee, gosh.

29
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 3: It seems so foreign to swear in the studio.

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Sorry I can't. Well, I said it for you. I

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: can't do it. You can do it, I can't do it.

32
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Might be listening to You're a Crow that's really funny.

33
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: It's okay when you do it two thousand people in

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: the pub yelling out and it gets last, it's all right.

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: But when you're on your own, it's different.

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: Well, the Angels sort of started off. They come out

37
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: of South Australia Adelaid. They're sort of almost like a

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: jug band in the early days, something you'd see in

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: the you know, like at a Bush music festival or something,

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: and evolved into one of the most consistent hard rocking

41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 2: Aussie pub bands.

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: Oh for sure stops in the first Now, growing up,

43
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: I always sort of put them in a similar into

44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: a C D C. Very so I was not into either,

45
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: I have to admit, as you know, I was into

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: Duran Durant around Ballet and Simple Minds and so ac

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: DC and the Angels were not really my thing. I

48
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: have learned to appreciate them in the same way I

49
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: appreciate one as I've got older.

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Well, they were one of those bands who just rocked

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: at the pubs. You Doc Nisson with his big six

52
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: four guy with his yeah, white towel around his neck,

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: and very theatrical, and he's the way that he performed

54
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: a song in a very passionate, great voice, you know,

55
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: like at his very best. And sadly we lost him,

56
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: you know, just a few years ago he got very

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: very ill and was still trying to tour, and he.

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: Did right up into the end in and he's had

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 3: still pushing. There's been more than a few people have

60
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: tried to replace him. I mean, well they've got from

61
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: screaming Jets is the obvious choice, and he does such

62
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: a job, but it's the only one that stood.

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: In for the only one. I mean, the Brewster brothers.

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: John could played a lot of gigs over these and

65
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: played those songs, but it's really been David.

66
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: Like the Gallagher brothers, aren't they Well, yeah, to be classy.

67
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they get on, they get like each other.

68
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: But is trying to get a Brewster brother at a

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: gig to try and laugh because they used to do

70
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: that really, Yeah, especially Rick, he used to stand there

71
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: and just like look really quite serious, quite intense and

72
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: almost like Elliott Goblet of the you know, of the

73
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: rock world where he would be going internally.

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: But just great. They're actually really great guys.

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: But but the songs that I've written over the years,

76
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: and one of those was I'm over going to see

77
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: Your Face Again. But so many great songs and Night

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: Attack was a wonderful album in the early eighties as well.

79
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: Who told us recently the story about the first time

80
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: they did that and everyone in the audience did it

81
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: and they freaked out.

82
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: They don't know what was Barnes.

83
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure most probably Diesel. When we spoke about

84
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: his TV show.

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: Okay, he said, the first time the Australian crowd did that,

86
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: they came off and said, don't they like it? Didn't

87
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: And then it just became it, well became we used

88
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: to say, it was like the Australia that it was.

89
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it became like and if you didn't do it, it

90
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: was un Australian not to join not to join in. Yeah,

91
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: that kind of thing, And so many great songs over

92
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: the years. I Just Want to Be with You was

93
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 2: a great ballad of theirs with doctor and the smoky

94
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: kind of vocal. It looks like it's coming down, coming

95
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: down on me was a really good song. I'm fairly

96
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 2: intimate knowledge of their songs because I was listening to

97
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: it at sixteen seventeen.

98
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: Was it? Am I ever going to see your face again?

99
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: That was originally a ballad? I remember there was a

100
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: song and I might not have even been the Angels,

101
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: but big Australian sort of athemy song that is like that.

102
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: And I read once that it was originally a ballad,

103
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: and I searched and.

104
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: Searched and searched you trying to work out it was.

105
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: Google obia and I couldn't.

106
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't find I'm.

107
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: Pretty sure there was a there was a Baby Animal

108
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: song that was a ballad that became a rocket that

109
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: was one of theirs. Maybe there's but there's a similar

110
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: kind of that rock star to the likes of the

111
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: Baby Animals. You mentioned Acadaca. They were in the albert studio,

112
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: the Alberts family who had so many of the big names,

113
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: but the Angels were one of those leading lights in

114
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: that era.

115
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: Obviously ac DC were far more successful on an international stage.

116
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: I don't think the Angels were made it the way

117
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: ac DC did overseas, but I always thought that they

118
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 3: were very to me, they were similar.

119
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: It was a problem, wasn't to the Duran Duran fam.

120
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. Yeah, they were similar and

121
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: the quality of the songs is up there.

122
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: Part of the problem was there was another band called

123
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: the angel So when they went overseas, the Angels had

124
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: to call themselves Angel City for quite a period.

125
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: Of really, which can be quite quite crippling.

126
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: And you worked up this incredible Australian momentum and then

127
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: you know, we're going to change your name.

128
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: You know that was always going to be a thing,

129
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: wasn't You would come up against another band called the Angels.

130
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: I do remember seeing them live. Do you remember the

131
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: Wembley golf course used to have a tavern there?

132
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh that's him quick. That was where great hands.

133
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: The time is over? Yeah, great band.

134
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: Angels thirty six FM Clezie and Lisa
