1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: The Angels playing in Bundary at the Prince of Wales tonight,

Speaker 1: night and the Charles always a big night there in

Speaker 1: North Perth on Saturday night with their new singer who

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: was the drummer Nick Norton out front and the bass

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: player Sam Brewster joins us. Sam, good morning, mate, welcome.

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, moning morning Lisa.

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: They the Angels are fifty years as a band, I

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 3: mean a fee bit older than you. Yeah, I laught

10
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: without it.

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: No, that's right, yeah, pretty much. I mean it's been yeah,

12
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean I've been in now eleven years. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: that's still yeah right Sam.

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: We've had plenty of good chats with your old man,

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: gentlemen John, but they were seemed to be Brewsters everywhere.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: But what's it like now having Nick out front of

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: the departure of Dave Gleason, Nick.

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Norton, Yeah, next, doing next, doing a great job. I mean,

19
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: as you know, Nick's been there for twelve years now

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: as the drummers, though the Angel was very much a

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: part of his life as well. He knows the songs

22
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: inside and out, and so yeah, it was just kind

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: of a natural progression when Dave had to step aside

24
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: do his commitments. It was Norton going down the front,

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: who's first and foremost actually a great singer and songwriter

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: and guitar player. So yeah, he's just slotted right in

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: straight off the bat.

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: So what's it like working with, you know, playing with

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 3: so many family members Rick John Tom? Is there any

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: on stage family feuding? I mean, I would imagine it

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: would be good because you can be so honest, but

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: also bad because you can be so honest.

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean I guess, like you know, if

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: there definitely are those moments on occasion, but being that

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: it's family, says you would be aware, you know it's

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: you know, you might have a blow up and then

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: two minutes later you know you're having a laugh. So

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: yeahs all good exactly.

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: But I remember at gigs, at Angel's gigs, people to

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: try and put you know, like uncle Rick off, because

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: he just stood there hempletely dead plan. He was brilliant guitarists,

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: but completely dead pan. He's lighted up a bit in

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: more recent years, hasn't he?

44
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: Yeah too much? In my opinion, I was telling stopped

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: moving so much Yeah.

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: He was always pretty pretty stationary, pretty straight, straight lived

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: he was. He was a man who didn't move pretty

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: much there.

49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I guess you know, back then

50
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: you had Angus Young who's all over the stage, so

51
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: amazing to watch. And then so yeah, I mean Rick

52
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: did the polar opposite and and it kind of yeah,

53
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: it kind of worked and let people, you know, twitch

54
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: here we are talking about it now, you know, these

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: years later, the.

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Elligant godlet of rock. He didn't there wasn't much going

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: on like that. That just great play rock. That's horrible image.

58
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: Did you ever sort of tour, not tour with, but

59
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: go on the road for any period of time with

60
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: the band when you were a little kid. No, No,

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: probably not, because it would have been the perception must be.

62
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: So this is actually what it's like. It would be

63
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 3: so different from being a little kid.

64
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, being no I mean, particularly because most

65
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: of these venues they are over eighteen, yeah of course, yeah, yeah, yeah,

66
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: and I just I mean.

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: Probably for the best regularly.

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely in hindsight. Yeah, it's too crazy out there.

69
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: I mean maybe back in those days, but I mean

70
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: it's free, civilized, but still yeah, probably not. You know

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: the place for a kid.

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do have my suspicions about back in those days, Sam,

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: I think it might have been a bit crazier.

74
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny. We're talking to you today, mate, I

75
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: say the least earlier. That almost famous one of the

76
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: great rock road movies came on telling last night. And

77
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: you must have a few few good stories from over

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: the years of traveling in the tour of bus or

79
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: is it mostly by what are you driving around in

80
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: these days? Or is it all plane trips.

81
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 2: It's a bit of both. So we were in Hobart

82
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. We had a gig there for a corporate

83
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: and then you perth through Melbourne and then we pick

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,559
Speaker 2: up a higher car from the airport. It's usually a

85
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: a story or a or a a carnival.

86
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

87
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: Well, in your in your not touring time, you're a

88
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: music teacher. You've got a couple of music degrees. Do

89
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: you see exciting things coming ahead? You know, with the

90
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: next generation? Should we be excited? It's a good stuff coming.

91
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: The next generation of.

92
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 3: That you're teaching.

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: I'm actually not teaching. You're not teaching Okay, no, not

94
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: at the moment. You know, the like, we've got so

Speaker 2: many shows that you and I've got I've got a toddler,

96
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: and you are forgiven.

97
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: Exactly, yeah, exactly.

98
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: The teaching might revisit it at some point, but at

99
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: the moment, we just we roll on.

100
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and my being part of the all important rhythm section.

101
