Speaker 13: rebuilding Pinocchio's with magnet houses so good because I go

169
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 13: back to the days of loaded Dice. So I go

170
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 13: back to the days of the frames, perfect Strangers, the Wookies.

171
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 13: The jet that was such a great yerror.

172
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 11: Wasn't it?

173
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 9: Certainly was just on the on the haunting me note?

174
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 9: Was that was that in Neighbors? Did they use that

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 9: with Jason and Kylie?

176
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 13: Well, if you go back to Jason and Kylie's engagement

177
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 13: ring moment, yes, Jason was Wow. I can't why is

178
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 13: this coming back to me now? Probably because you asked

179
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 13: you the question.

180
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 9: Yes, it came straight back to me.

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 13: Thank you and thank you for a brigand measure. Jason

182
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 13: was lying aimlessly on his bed daydreaming about a blonde

183
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 13: mechanic that he loved, and he decided at that moment

184
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 13: we called me wafting through his brain cell that he thought,

185
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 13: I think I'll go and chase Charlene. That was there,

186
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 13: It was a part of it. I think I got

187
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 13: about three dollars sixty five extra all time.

188
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 11: Oh you got anything's better than nothing?

189
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 5: When and how did you, you know, get fully involved

190
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 5: in the Perth pub scene? When, when did you get

191
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 5: the band together?

192
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 13: Well, see my history was my first band was It

193
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 13: was at Murdoch University. There was a couple of great

194
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 13: mates and Jeff Price, great guitar player. Of course, there

195
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 13: were so many great mates down there and we sort

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 13: of kicked off this little band that was it was

197
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 13: just it was called Reflex Action, it was called Manic D.

198
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 13: We just did all these originals and then someone said

199
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 13: to me, look, the music scene at the time was

200
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 13: very divided. There was originals and there was covers. And

201
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 13: someone said to me, if you want more than petrol money,

202
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 13: you're going to have to do covers. So the next thing,

203
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 13: Manic d became Beavers. We used to play at the

204
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 13: Cotteslow Hotel. Chewhiz that was another that was that was

205
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 13: a venue where you could dance on the floor and

206
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 13: actually eat. Had springs in it because I think the

207
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 13: white antitude at the bars and then from there that

208
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 13: all sort of melted. And then I sort of got

209
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 13: invited to join this group of blokes that were starting

210
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 13: up a band previously Harlequin Tears, I think previously Perfect Strangers,

211
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 13: and then we're just combined and all of a sudden

212
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 13: kapre kicked off, and of course that's I must there

213
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 13: must be something good with my long term memory, because

214
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 13: that was a hell of a lot time.

215
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 9: Remember what I had for lunch yesterday?

216
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 5: But I can remember going to see Are Perfect Strangers?

217
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 14: Yeah, mate, used to go to those Nook and Buster gigs.

218
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 14: I remember they'd be like six hundred girls down the

219
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 14: front and all their jealous boyfriends at the back. But

220
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 14: it was it was a real division between the between

221
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 14: the partners.

222
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 11: But a big Knights, huge night.

223
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 13: Well, I don't think those days will ever come back,

224
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 13: you guys, and you know, I'm with great respect a

225
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 13: hold of the new guys. I don't even think you're

226
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 13: old enough to get in YouTube. But I just remember

227
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 13: those days and Perth, particularly Western Australia. Also Perth and

228
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 13: also Queensland had a big, a big system like a

229
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 13: circuit in Queensland that did covers and entertained a lot

230
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 13: of people. But Perth at the time was enormous and

231
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 13: I think that so many people remember those days. They'll

232
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 13: never come back again. Compliments of youtubing and you can

233
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 13: write a song on the end of your bed, put

234
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 13: it on YouTube and become famous. The live scenario has

235
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 13: sort of disappeared. That's why it's really nice that I mean,

236
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 13: I'm still you know, Priece Love and all that stuff

237
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 13: are still doing gigs. They're still bands around, but it's

238
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 13: a smaller environment and it's nice to know that the

239
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 13: live scene is still there, but it's nothing like it

240
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 13: was back in the eighties.

241
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 5: It's nice to know you're still part of it. Where

242
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 5: can people catch you these days?

243
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 13: Well, we're doing a gig at the wood Veil on

244
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 13: on Saturday night. We'll at the Paddings and as well

245
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 13: which is good fun. And I think, look, I think

246
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 13: there might be another gig coming out next week.

247
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 15: I'm not sure.

248
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, we've pretty sure.

249
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: Speaking of you performing still, we have pretty exciting announcement

255
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 13: And the guys in the band, I mean, I really

256
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 13: love this, this brotherhood of music. You know, a dynamic

257
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 13: hypnotics that the Billy the drummer was in there, I'm Tiger.

258
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 13: Johnny was in Nice Tiger. You've got Donnie and guitar

Speaker 13: time there. You've got Mark on bass, he was in

Speaker 13: the frame.

262
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 9: Yeah, and yes, you know, I mean.

263
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 13: There was always a bit of a star. I love.

264
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 13: I love bumping into people, particularly muse those but all

265
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 13: so bumping into people that fondly remember those days. And

266
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 13: I think the rivalry back then brought the best out

267
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 13: of everybody.

268
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know what I mean.

269
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 13: To footy teams, they want to play well against one another.

270
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 13: That's probably what created that Those big beer barns where

271
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 13: people wanted to go and see some good bands.

272

321
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 12: night when Carlo Carlo posted it. He threatened to do

00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 12: it a few times and let that loose, and I

323
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,680

Speaker 15: You're right.

327
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 12: What many people didn't know is I'd come out of

328
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 12: six years in the Air Force and I've been a

332
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 12: you want to pull it on any particular week, and

333
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 12: worked with I heard Pete Borg and Todd this week,

334
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 12: and worked with bands locally like the Motors and Trains

335

Speaker 12: and Harlequin tears and stealing the beam and all those

337
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 12: sorts of bands. And and then while I saw in

338
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 12: the Air Force, I called a excuse the intentional pun,

339
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 12: but a really crappy little band called Spins and.

340
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 15: And uh and uh and and.

341
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 12: True story, we we called it s Beens because the

342
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 12: Daily News wouldn't let us let us call it cunning stunts.

343
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 12: Really why yeah, no humor.

344
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 11: No yeah, and himself or anyone after a couple of.

345
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 12: Interesting absolutely, well we did get we did get called

346
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 12: worse at various Yeah. Yeah, so so we we sort

347
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 12: of had a bit of an initiation. I was in

348
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 12: the Air Force. We used to play like places like

349
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 12: the Boragoon and we'd go down to some leisure in

350
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 12: in Rockingham or down to Bunbury or Bustleton or whatever.

351
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 12: And also some of our highlight gigs and some of

352
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 12: my best mates from those days we're in the Air

353
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 12: Force and we would play pay night discos every second

354
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 12: Thursday up up at ps and they were wild affairs

355
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 12: and there's some stories I would love to tell, but.

356
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 5: We'll do enough to show sometimes the name the Rockies

357
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 5: actually is that something?

358
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 9: Does that come from? Something to do with your time

359
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 9: in the Air Force.

360
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 12: Yeah? That was so. Gary Grant approached me and he'd

361
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 12: been playing in a whole bunch of bands around the place,

362
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 12: and a Hustler and various other incarnations Bowery Boys at

363
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 12: one stage, and he approached me towards the end of

364
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 12: my time at Air Force and said, look, you're not

365
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 12: very good, but I think you've got a bit of potential.

366
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 12: And so we decided to form a band I went

367
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 12: to my parents placed the dinner one night and broke

368
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 12: the news to them I was going to leave my

369
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 12: government contract in my career and my trade and and

370
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 12: going form a rock and roll band and yeah, and

371
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 12: anyway after they.

372
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 9: Died job parent aside.

373
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was very very funny. And and so we

374
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 12: formed and we started auditioning and and and rehearsing and

375
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 12: such and and and we we found a drummer that

376
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 12: could play the drum solos from Power and the Passion

377
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 12: by the Oil.

378
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 11: Late no no.

379
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 12: So so Rod Paigels came in and he auditioned with

380
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 12: us and and literally had charted that drum solo right

381
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 12: down to the last cow bell. So we've gone holy,

382
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 12: holy whatever and and yeah, heck, that was the word

383
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 12: I think, and and and so we thought he's a

384
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 12: guy that can play. And then we got Mel McIntosh

385
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 12: on guitar, who you know now that I sort of

386
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 12: never never really saw, right, but he was, you know,

387
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,959
Speaker 12: a great guitarists, really terrific guitarists. And then and then

388
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 12: we auditioned a second drummer of bloke by the name

389
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 12: of James Morley. And and so James was sixteen and

390
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 12: audition was a drummer, and as a drummer he was

391
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 12: a really good truck driver, and and you know, so

392
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 12: it is a very funny story.

393
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 13: He is, Yeah, we.

394
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 12: Auditioned him after we auditioned Rot and said yeah, mate, thanks,

395
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 12: but no thanks, and he said, and we said, we're

396
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 12: still looking for a bass player. And he goes, I

397
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 12: can play bass.

398
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: And.

399
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, the ones I like to

400
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 12: hang out with musicians. And so the following week he

401
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 12: comes in and plays the same songs. He got us

402
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 12: to hire a guitar and ant for him because he

403
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 12: couldn't get one, and he plays with the handful of

404
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 12: songs and does backing vocals and all the rest of it.

405
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 12: We go, okay, well your audition is the drummer. How

406
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 12: long you had be in pain bank? And he looked

407
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 12: at his watch. Half an hour and we've gone and

408
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 12: we've gone no, no, no, not today, you idiot.

409
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 11: How long? Half an hour?

410
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 12: I've never actually held a base before in my life.

411
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 12: Bigger than I thought. And what he'd done the brief before.

412
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 12: After the drum alldition, he went home, took the top

413
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 12: two strings off his beating up old acoustic learned the

414
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 12: base lines and and fooled off.

415
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 11: So we thought we're living a full you deserve it.

416
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 11: And then he went on place for the Angels.

417
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 12: Of course, absolutely, he's still playing around.

418
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 11: He's a very funny man.

419
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 13: He is.

420
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 11: Indeed.

421
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 5: Indeed, since since those heady days are you now you

422
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 5: live over East, I believe you have a Cold Chisel

423
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 5: tribute band?

424
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 12: I did, I did before I left. Yeah, so so

425
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 12: I did that for a while.

426
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 13: We did.

427
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 12: We did an Angels tribute thing around the time that

428
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 12: Doc announced about the brain tumor, and James and Bob

429
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 12: Spencer actually came back to Perth and played in that,

430
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 12: which was great, And so all sorts of were sort

431
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 12: of going, how do you get the Angels to play

432
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 12: in an Angel's tribute show? And you go, I don't know,

433
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 12: you ask him, and and and so we did that

434
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 12: and it was just, you know, the eighties period was

435
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 12: just so good. There were so many good bands around,

436
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 12: so many punters were spots. Yeah, And and the thing

437
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 12: is that when we first born, our first show was

438
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 12: in in autumn, and and we actually spent around that

439
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 12: nine months just to regional w A. We didn't play

440
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 12: a show in Earth for about nine months and we

441
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 12: had the Yeah and and we had the best road

442
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 12: through the world. And I still missed my best mate

443
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 12: Joey and Joey Robertson, I know, his stunt home actually

444
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 12: contact with me last night when he heard about this.

445
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 12: And I'm of Thomas, a little kid sort of running

446
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 12: the mark and run around sort of backstage, and and

447
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 12: you know, Raza and Jabbie and all those guys that

448
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 12: were just it was just so much fun. And you

449
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 12: would go and play like you know, Wednesday night in

450
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 12: Bustleton or Thursday night in Management or whatever it is,

451
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 12: and and really every other band and you know, I

452
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 12: heard your discussion with Todd the other day. Every other

453
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 12: band at that stage was playing sort of Juran Duran

454
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 12: and Spando ballet and wearing Philly shirts. I just I

455
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 12: just wasn't that talented. So so we had to go

456
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 12: to guitar rock and and sort of and I a

457
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 12: massive Acients fan, so so you know, we did angel

458
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 12: shoes on and oils and more Australian rock and it

459
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 12: really stood out from what everyone else is doing. And

460
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 12: when we eventually hit berth at our first regular gig

461
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 12: in town was at the Old Mainland hotel, which was

462
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 12: the time was by John K. Watts.

463
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah, that's right.

464
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 12: Yeah, and so we I think our first night we

465
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 12: had about twenty people there and fifteen of those were

466
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 12: friends and relatives and five people lost and and and

467
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 12: you know, it just built from there. We sort of

468
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 12: went on stage as if the place was packed, and

469
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 12: you know, within sort of six or eight weeks, we

470
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 12: you know, we had a couple of hundred people there.

508
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,080

509
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 11: Well you're about seven, so well I started.

510
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 16: I did start very young, so you know that that

00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 16: gave me in advantage.

512
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 9: Is a true because I.

513
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,240

Speaker 17: Yes?

516
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 16: It was with some high school friends. And I think

517
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 16: i'd thirteen when I did my first gig at Morley

518
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 16: High Yeah. Wow, so yeah, I still remember that. We

519
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 16: played six songs and and I still remember most of them.

520
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 16: It's like, it's funny where you stuck sometimes you still

521
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 16: carry that through to your career. But yet Morley High

522
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 16: about a thousand people in the school hall there and

523
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 16: then it went from there that it.

524
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 9: Really popular with the girls being in a band.

525
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 11: Is that why you're playing?

526
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 16: Well, it didn't do any harm.

527
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 12: Then.

528
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 16: Interesting thing is by time I was fifteen, I was

529
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 16: playing the Perth pub circuit.

530
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 11: Yeah you like diesel Ba get stuck in the back

532
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 16: Well yeah, my parents system dropped me off or I

533
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 16: go with one of the older guys in the band,

534
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 16: but they kind of knew me, so I was okay.

535
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 16: But on Wednesday nights we used to do that we're

536
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 16: talking about the girl thing. We used to do this

537
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 16: hotel called the Sterling Arms, Yes, which is in Guildford

538
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 16: and Wednesday night they had stripper on. So we're a

539
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 16: player set, so you know, you get to know it

540
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 16: on the girls. And I was so much into the

541
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 16: band and the music that I'd go to school next

542
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 16: day and the guys and the girls would come up

543
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 16: to me go, oh, so, who's the stripper on last night?

544
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 15: How did that go?

545
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 16: And I go, well, I don't know, but we've mad

546
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 16: a great version of jump and get right.

547
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 11: That's funny.

548
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 13: So that's how it went.

549
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 14: Yeah, But you talk about the girls reaction at school,

550
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 14: but what were the boys like, you know, the few

551
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 14: the tough guys, a bit upset that you're getting early attention.

552
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 16: Not really because I didn't play up on it. But

553
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 16: I've still got friends from school now who some of

554
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 16: them play, some of them.

555
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 18: Don't play music.

556
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 16: And they all said, or the ones that don't play music,

557
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 16: so we will envy you. We wish we could have

558
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 16: done what you did, ye, which I never at the time,

559
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 16: never saw. I just thought it was a normal thing

560
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 16: to do.

561
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 11: Cool.

562
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 5: So enter the Flying Fonds of Allies. Like so many

563
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: great bands. Half of the band was related, weren't they.

564
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 16: There's two brothers from the band, Yeah, the brother and

565
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 16: the piano player from Joda Massey.

566
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 12: Yeah.

567
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 16: So we started off in a garage in Ballcata, right,

568
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 16: That's where we started off rehearsing. Yeah, And we used

569
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 16: to rehearse a tennis ten o'clock on Monday, and we

570
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 16: rehearsed ten to three or ten to two every day.

571
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 16: And then we got the band up enough till we

572
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 16: could play an hour set, and then we went and

573
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 16: did a support to Mental as Anything at the Raffles

574
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 16: and got a great reaction, and then we kept crack

575
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 16: the thing.

576
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 15: And got it up.

577
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 16: Those days, you had to play a three set gig

578
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 16: in three minutes sets, so you had to have enough

579
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 16: songs and enough content to get you through. So that's

580
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 16: what we did and it just went from there. And

581
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 16: interesting thing with Mentals was I ended up joining the

582
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 16: band years later.

583
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 14: Oh wow, that's cool. It's very cool, man. I think

584
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 14: of the Flying Ponzis and I think of two words.

585
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 14: I think of fun and I think a party, because

586
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 14: that's what people just rocked up to see you guys for.

587
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 11: It wasn't it.

588
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 16: It was a really really good musical band, but it

589
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 16: was also a fun band. Everyone could play well, but

590
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 16: also everyone could perform, and we had the attitude of

591
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 16: like you've got to go to work, make it fun,

592
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 16: you know, and that rubbed off to the audience and

593
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 16: the band worked hard. And yeah, so we had a

594
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 16: really good good run.

595
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 11: There in person.

596
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 5: You know what I think of when I think of

597
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 5: do diddy diddy dumb? That message gone off at the shows.

598
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 16: Yes, I remember we actually recorded that song and I

599
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 16: think I've got a good bit of action and in

600
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 16: the first charts, and I remember doing two videos for it.

601
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 16: I don't know why we did two videos for that

602
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 16: one song, right, have recollection of doing two different videos.

603
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 9: For it, because it was.

604
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 14: One of those songs whose I was dejaying at the times,

605
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 14: and it saved you saved your baking so many times.

606
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 11: I love that song.

607
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, it doesn't fail.

608
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 13: Does we have fun with that?

609
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 16: And yeah, so that was eighty ninety eighty three to

610
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 16: eighty five, eighty sixth somewhere around there.

611
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 11: Yep, absolutely well.

612
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 5: Everyone loved the shows because full house signs used to

613
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 5: go up before your gigs even began. That's that's would

614
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 5: have to be reassuring to head out onto stage with

615
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: What were some of your favorite places to play other

616
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 5: than the Raffles.

617
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 16: Well, the Raffles we played there every Saturday night eighty months.

618
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 9: I think to them, well, okay.

619
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 16: The house and the only problem was when we start

620
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 16: getting a lot of people. You get to the gig

621
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 16: and you can't park anywhere.

622
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 9: It's still like that.

623
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 16: Yes, we have to get reserve parking or something. That

624
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 16: was when you know you're doing well.

625
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 13: Generator was.

626
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 18: I grew up in Morley, so I was.

627

638
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 16: I moved to Sydney with a band called Dave Warner

639
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 16: from the suburbs.

640
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:11,680

644
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,240

645
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 16: just stay for a little bit, you know, maybe a

646
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,240

647
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,440

648
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,280

650
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 16: to Perth all the time, and I get a few

651
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,120

836
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,319

Speaker 11: that song in the Winner?

839
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, that would have been about eighty two. I

840
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 23: think we had that sort of recorded. It was written

841
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 23: by the guy that produced our album, a guy by

842
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 23: named Gary Keady.

843
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 20: He's a music producer, film producer.

844
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 18: Yeah.

845
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 20: Yeahah, one of his little little catalog songs.

846
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 18: That he had.

847
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 9: You recorded an album at Planet Studios, didn't you.

848
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 20: It's yeah we did. Yeah.

849
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 9: That was nineteen eighty two at eighty two.

850
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 23: Yeah, it was at the original location of Planet, which

851
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 23: was in Perth because after they moved.

852
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 9: To sub Yeah, but you guys were playing four nights

853
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:53,479
Speaker 9: a week.

854
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 5: You were a really solidly performing on that circle back

855
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 5: in those days.

856
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 9: How exhausting was it?

857
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 18: It was.

858
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 20: A full time job we were.

859
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 24: We were working four nights a week, and we were

860
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 24: rehearsing two days a week on the days off, and

861
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 24: we had one day left where we learnt new material yeah,

862
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 24: and wrote new material, So it was pretty much seven days.

863
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 19: Yeah.

864
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, you've got to be obsessed with you, especially when

865
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 11: you're young and hungry.

866
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 15: Yeah.

867
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 11: What about influencers? Who were you guys influenced by?

868
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 14: Uh?

869
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 23: Well, pretty broad, I suppose, because the band was basically

870
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 23: a cover band, so we just we followed the charts. Yeah, yeah,

871
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 23: like a lot of stuff coming out of the UK

872
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 23: was good, which is was is exciting and suited our playing.

873
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 8: Yeah.

874
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 23: I think what we were playing didn't necessarily reflect our

875
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 23: own personal choices, but that was.

876
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 20: That was what we were doing.

877
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 5: But you were you guys were big on writing and

878
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 5: performing your own stuff as well, weren't you?

879
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 9: And you must have I feel like at that time

880
00:40:59,160 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 9: you might have had.

881
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 5: To push back a bit to be able to do that,

882
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 5: because Perth loved to come about in the eighties. We

883
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 5: really did so, but only because we you know, we

884
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 5: didn't have You probably thought, well, you know, we can

885
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 5: give them both and they will come round to it.

886
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 9: Did you have to push back a bit.

887
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 23: Yes, certainly there was always a crowd killer when you're

888
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 23: playing a live gig, just just to bring out one

889
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 23: of your own.

890
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 13: Yeah.

891
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 23: I guess we had the concept to just persist with

892
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 23: that so that people would gradually grow to it and

893
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 23: learn it.

894
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 20: But yeah, it was always a battle.

895
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

896
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 5: And I would have thought with the the you know,

897
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 5: the places that you were playing at as well the

898
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 5: owners of them, they probably wanted you to you know,

899
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 5: play all the covers as well.

900
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 20: Absolutely for sure.

901
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, John. Can you tell us of Singapore connection

902
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 11: with the band and what went down there.

903
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 24: My our manager was Jimmy Lee, right, and he was

904
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 24: from Singapore and he had a good mate who owned

905
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 24: the w A Records in Thailand, La, So he did

906
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 24: a deal with them to record the album and then

907
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 24: we were going to release it in Asia through w

908
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 24: A Records, and we were then going to do a

909
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 24: tour all through Asia right up to Japan as as

910
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 24: support for the release of the album.

911
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 11: And then.

912
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 24: W A Records in Sydney found out that an Australian

913
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 24: band had signed with w A in Thailand and claimed

914
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 24: the rights because some sort of corporate rule that they

915
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 24: had and then they seized the tapes for our recording

916
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 24: and locked them in a bank vault in Melbourne. We

917
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 24: lost access to our own album.

918
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 11: Frustrated exactly.

919
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 5: They must have been terribly frustrating to sort of be

920
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 5: the victim or in the middle of this, you know,

921
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 5: sort of suit fight going on as a bit of

922
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 5: a you know what, swinging competition between these two sides.

923
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, it was.

924
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 24: And at the same time we were going through that

925
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 24: transition that you were just referring to.

926
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 20: Where we were trying to play more of our own.

927
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 24: Material, yeah, to actually support that album that we were

928
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 24: bringing out. So and we'd also been forced right in

929
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 24: the middle of that to change our name to Formula One.

930
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 11: It was a band in very frustrated.

931
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 24: In the UK, you'd call themselves the Motors. So it

932
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 24: all started to slow down very quickly at that point.

933
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, but frustrating for you guys being creative types and

934
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 11: getting caught up in the business, politics and the rest

935
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 11: of it. Exactly, frustrating and then getting an album warehouse

936
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 11: like yeah.

937
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 24: Yeah, It's funny how musos are so into their music

938
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 24: that they tend to not be totally aware of what

939
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 24: their managers up to. Yeah, Yeah, we were still consumed

940
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 24: by our own passions and it was all just sort

941
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 24: of falling exactly the area.

942
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 11: Of yeah, yeah, an expertise.

943
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 5: So we had some great venues in the in the

944
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 5: early eighties that all the bands were playing at seven

945
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 5: nights a week.

946
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 9: You could go and see a band. Where were some

947
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 9: of your favorites to play?

948
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 23: Oh, well, we played played like a ranger. Place that

949
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,200

00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 20: Stick to it exactly.

955
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was good all those places.

956
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 23: Yeah, Plus every Wednesday we'd often do like a runout

957
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 23: like at the Kelgooley or Albany. Bunbury was a yeah,

958
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 23: the bustle was a staple.

959
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 5: Actually funny you should mention those were all the regional

960
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 5: sort of times. Did you have an almost famous moment

961
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 5: with an emergency landing in a plane somewhere?

962
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 9: I mean, that's a great rock story.

963
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 15: Isn't it.

964
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 23: It was a funny thing because we're going up I

965
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 23: got a mate who was a was a pilot at

966
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 23: the time and he needed to get get his hours up,

967
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 23: so he said, jump on the plane and fly up

968
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 23: the Jeraldon.

969
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 20: But we got caught up by a dust storm.

970
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 11: Terrific.

971
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 20: Oh and we couldn't progress.

972
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 23: So we had the land in the middle of some

973
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 23: farmer's paddock.

974
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 9: And that's so rock and roll, isn't it.

975
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 20: Yeah, we were.

976
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 24: The door of the plane came open while we were

977
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 24: flying along and it buckled with the four I wouldn't close.

978
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 11: Oh my god, so get a bowful of dust.

979
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 24: I took my shoe off and got the shoelace out

980
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 24: of my shoe and tied it around the handle to

981
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 24: the door. John, that's exactly right. Tied the door up,

982
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 24: then do an emergency in the farmer's wheat field.

983
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 12: Well.

984
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 11: Having lived in Meriden and Bunbury early days of radio,

985
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 11: for me, have you guys like you guys come down

986
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 11: and play? It was a big deal in the country

987
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 11: town to have Bunbury is much more of a country

988
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 11: town back there, but the likes of Maridin and cow

989
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 11: it was a really big deal. It was the whole

990
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 11: town will turn out to see a log gig, yeah,

991
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,360

992
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 9: Well, good times, it was was great.

993
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,520

994
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 11: at one stage.

995
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 24: Remember really that was the way that the Focused Promotions

996
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 24: put the band together.

997
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 18: Yep.

998
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 24: And then they sent us to carl Gooley for two

00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 24: in Calgoley until we actually had a repertoire together. And

1004

1046
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 9: What are you talking about?

1047
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 19: Oh right, No, I mean I mean name the name

1048
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,800
Speaker 19: people always ask people would always ask us, where the

1049
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 19: hell did you get that name from?

1050
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 12: It?

1051
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1052
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 19: Yeah, it was just on a whim, just for something,

1053
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 19: So that's what we just called it. We ended up

1054
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 19: doing a radio show.

1055
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 18: Up at six an hour I think it was yeah.

1056
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 19: Yeah in Bedley and yeah while the band. While the

1057
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,720
Speaker 19: band was going yeah yeah, playing down at the Queens

1058
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 19: is where we started.

1059
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 5: So now, just a fun fact, this is how I

1060
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 5: knew where the name came from because when you were

1061
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 5: playing Sunday Sessions at the Queens, I was working behind

1062
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 5: the bar.

1063
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 9: And I remember, I remember your little monkey.

1064
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 11: Sorry, do you remember your monkey?

1065
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 5: Didn't you have a little little toy monkey? They used

1066
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 5: to go everywhere with you with your equipment.

1067
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 19: Yeah, that was Hugo. It was I don't know what

1068
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 19: he was. He was a little I think it was

1069
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 19: a little like a donkey type of thing, and I

1070
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 19: just had a hugel stuck to and I just used

1071
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 19: to take it on planes and if there was a

1072
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 19: stare seat next to me, I put the belts on

1073
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:06,959
Speaker 19: the hosting to come fast.

1074
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 13: Yeah, in order to drinks for me.

1075
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 11: You was traveling the world. You go wherever you guys

1076
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 11: and whatever Hugo was right, A monkey or donkeys?

1077
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 13: Hey?

1078
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 11: Tom?

1079
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 16: You yeah?

1080
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 14: Apart from the Queens, mate, did you play many other venues?

1081
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 14: How busy did it get for you, guys? Because I

1082
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 14: remember that game straight away from Good Guys.

1083
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 19: Oh, the Boulevard Ale House, which because we only just

1084
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 19: sort of started to do the Queens as something because

1085
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 19: Red Square had called it up and we were just

1086
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 19: sitting around and after a few phone calls had just

1087
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 19: decided that we'll we'll just get, you know, for the

1088
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 19: hell of it, band together because we enjoyed playing together.

1089
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 19: So that's when the Queen's things started. We only wanted

1090
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 19: to do like one night a week. Yeah, that just

1091
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 19: sort of flared out with I think you remember, we

1092
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 19: end up doing two nights a week.

1093
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 18: There was like.

1094
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 19: Sunday and a Thursday. Okay, yes, the Sunday sessions down

1095
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 19: of the Queens because that was always that was heaving.

1096
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 19: I believe it still is heaving.

1097
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 5: It was totally no, particularly when you'd roll out the

1098
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 5: recorder on wild Thing. That was an amazing moment of

1102
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 19: you know, through through the eighties when when everyone did

1103
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,879
Speaker 19: have that opportunity because there was such a good time,

1104
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 19: there was a bit of money floating around them, as

1105
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 19: you know, the pub scene was was excellent. Yes, so

1106
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 19: everyone had the opportunity to to work maybe three four

1107
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 19: nights a week, you could afford a single, four way

1108
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 19: things like that, and with the money that you that

1109
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 19: you made, you could go into Planet Studios or something

1110
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 19: like that, record your originals doing like sixty forty you know,

1111

1112
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 19: that and it just became more rockier and it just

1113
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 19: sort of wolfed a bit really until we ended up

1114
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 19: in Japan, right.

1115
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,840

1122
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 19: Red Simon's and everyone there. Was absolutely fantastic. But then

1123
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 19: we won that and then our ballot was put in

1124
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 19: for the Australasian which we didn't actually play for, and

1125

1139
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 19: but that took it. It was actually in charge of

1140
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 19: Australia and he was like our Brian. He looked at

1141
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 19: us and he thought, well, if you guys got more material,

1142

1144
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,120

Speaker 19: didn't carry on from from that point. But that was

1149
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:56,000

1162
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 19: ships out there. But we've been fortunate enough and now

1163
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,440

1164

1218
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 12: Uh?

1219
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 15: Well, I basically put it together with a fentanyl meadow

1220
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 15: many and what the band? I was in with my

1221
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 15: brother and that we broke. We split up and so

1222
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 15: the drummer was was living with us and the guitars

1223
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 15: was still here. We're going to go around Australia. So

1224
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 15: which is my wife now? And anyway, so I met

1225
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 15: up with Fenton and he was saying, you know that,

1226
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 15: and I was thinking, that's the same sort of music

1227
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 15: I want to play. So I put together in the

1228
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 15: landroom and it had a bit of a jam and thought.

1229
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 18: This was good.

1230
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 15: So we just thought, you know, went up to crowded

1231
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 15: to put the band together for two weeks, but we

1232
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 15: got flooded in and couldn't think of a name for

1233
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 15: the band. Like that's the hardest thing in the band

1234
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 15: is thinking of a name.

1235
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it was.

1236
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 15: It was Trevor's girlfriend thought what about the Jets? And

1237
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 15: we thought it sounds a bit corny. But we had

1238
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 15: ringing up. Birth was ringing up with the agent was

1239
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 15: ringing up, what's the name of the band? We need

1240
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 15: some posters? Yeah, of course played the four people at

1241
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 15: the Civic Hotel, four.

1242
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 11: Friends and really.

1243
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 15: Didn't know well yeah, and there was there was some

1244
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 15: invited industry people, but yeah, loaded their own gear and

1245
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 15: that that went from six gigs a week loading their

1246
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 15: own gear and we only couldn't afford anything all the.

1247
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 13: Money whining production.

1248
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 15: Yeah, it just went from there. But honestly, I've been

1249
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 15: looking at it. I can't believe the band's been going

1250
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 15: for forty five years. Have a band and we did

1251
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:04,840

1257
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,680

Speaker 15: Absolutely, the gar Pack that was entertaining. Yeah. Yeah, my

1263
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 15: favorite pub of all the time. Yeah, per Per Pub

1264
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 15: because we did travel easing like that was is the Rebels?

1265
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah.

1266
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 15: Stick to the carpet there.

1267
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, they used to rate.

1268
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 15: It looked like snow. The carpet block it's been.

1269
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 13: It was all white.

1270
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 15: It was all broken glass.

1271
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 18: They used to break the glass to break the campus.

1272
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 15: Yes, right, the broken glass You know it was.

1273
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 13: It was incredible.

1274
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 15: But all those well, all those venues on now that

1275
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 15: I think the Charles is about the only one hanging on.

1276
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 15: I do believe the Civics. I haven't lived in Perth

1277
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 15: around for twenty years now, so obviously do pop in.

1278
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,439
Speaker 15: But the last show I hadn't played for five years,

1279
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 15: so I'm base put in the case and they stayed

1280
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 15: in the cupboard for five years.

1281
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 13: You want to get it.

1282
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 15: Out and basically learned to play again, and singing wise,

1283
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 15: you never know how you're going to go and sing

1284
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 15: to your rehearse. So we've got the guitarist's averies, the

1285
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 15: new line guitaris overies, so they're going to find him

1286
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 15: in me in rehearse. And we only get a few

1287
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 15: days to rehearse. And then you've got to get out

1288
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 15: on stage and there's no like.

1289
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 18: A warm up. You just got to do it.

1290
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 15: It's quite scary, and you're quite scary.

1291
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 5: You were always, you know, the ultimate professionals too, were

1292
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 5: putting on a show.

1293
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 9: Proper sound, proper lighting.

1294
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 5: You had a whole crew behind you, so you didn't

1295
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 5: really you never cut corners back in the day.

1296
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 15: Well that's what the whole idea was put on a

1297
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 15: show something people to look at it like, we toured,

1298
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 15: we went to the country towns in wa and he says, well,

1299
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 15: but I was brought up in Albury and Perth. Bands

1300
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 15: used to come down in the old days with nothing,

1301
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 15: and they say it's only a country who gives the out,

1302
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 15: you know. And I always had that and I thought, no,

1303
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 15: why should why not if you go and see a

1304
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 15: band in Perth or show you want to see that

1305
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 15: show we bring down. I remember, I think one of

1306
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 15: the first places where when the band was management and

1307
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 15: they hadn't seen a show like that down the Pyrats

1308
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 15: and that sort of stuff and just blew away. And

1309
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 15: even even like Fittroy Crossing. Can you imagine, I don't

1310
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 15: if anyone's been the Fiory Crossing, great little town we're

1311
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 15: talking about, roll up there with a Fami trailer for

1312
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 15: the gear and you know, like two hundred tad light

1313
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 15: show and that all. It just blew everyone away.

1314
01:01:56,480 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 13: But that that compromise everyone the same.

1315
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 14: Shape given the quality. Yeah, but you speak of that

1316
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 14: same hymn book. As Jane Simmons from Kiss always said,

1317
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:08,439
Speaker 14: he and Paul always said they put on the best

1318
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 14: show they came wherever they go.

1319
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, I remember that. Yeah for the fans.

1320
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, well you know why just because you lived somewhere differently,

1321
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 15: why should you have a second grade show? So we

1322
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 15: try and used to go to a place and say,

1323
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 15: take all your table and chairs. How do you rendue? Well,

1324
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 15: people's got to sit. There won't be room for people

1325
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 15: to sit, They'll just be standing room. Yeah, but I

1326
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 15: cannot believe forty five years, forty five.

1327
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 9: Years, stop saying it.

1328
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 15: You are blowing with one original members still left in it,

1329
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 15: and it's it's it's still selling out. It's like it's

1330
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 15: it's mind blowing.

1331
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 5: Any memories of Bindu, Oh well, I saw you guys

1332
01:02:58,560 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 5: have been.

1333
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 14: What did you glad that would have been doing the

1334
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,600

1341

Speaker 15: the headline accident and we did eight out of the

1342
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 15: tent and yeah, that was great, very well organized. Yeah,

1343
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 15: there's a lot of bad negativity and that sort of stuff,

1344
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 15: but we never ever saw that. We were all the

1345
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 15: basically all the games, we did lots of them, their

1346
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 15: shows and there was never any travel.

1347
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, never it. They were just professional, I feel like.

1348
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 15: But you never had anything you do never had didn't

1349
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 15: because people were scared to go to the Raffles Hotel

1350
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 15: because they thought it was rough, and then people around

1351
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 15: your talk to wouldn't go there. And you know what

1352
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 15: I mean, it's just if you've been to the Raffles,

Speaker 5: found your calling.

1419
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 17: I think I knew that that was what I was

1420
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 17: going to do with my life.

1421
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 9: Yep.

1422
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 17: I mean, you know, you're so sort of dumb and

1423
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 17: blind to everything at that age. You just got full

1424
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:29,959
Speaker 17: of opportunity and you kind of think everything's possible and then.

1425
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 12: Ed it is.

1426
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 17: But that was the moment where I just thought, oh,

1427
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 17: you know, I love this, this is kind of my thing.

1428
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 17: I'm going to you know, I'm going to have.

1429
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 9: A go at this because you're seventeen.

1430
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 18: That is.

1431
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 17: I was seventeen in my first band, and I was

1432
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 17: with Photo played for two years, and I just kind

1433
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 17: of it wasn't like a you know, I kind of

1434
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 17: just always loved guitar and I always loved singing, and

1435
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 17: so you know, that was sort of the beginning of

1436
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 17: it all. That was your first time I realized I

1437
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 17: wasn't nervous it all the first gig. It was the

1438
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 17: second gig.

1439
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 11: Ah, yes.

1440
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 14: And was it the applause? Was it applause in a

1441
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 14: public places? It was part of that thing that got.

1442
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 17: It's all of it, It's all of it. Yeah, it's

1443
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 17: the idea of the band seeing for me, could I've

1444
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 17: done solo? Ye, I've done the band thing, yep. And

1445
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 17: the ban thing is just always I just don't like

1446
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 17: the solo thing. I much rather be in a group

1447
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 17: of people just hanging out. Yeah, solo stuff is just

1448
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 17: this more pressure. It's boring. It's just not into it.

1449
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 5: Like it's more fun in that numbers definitely, it's funny numbers, yeah, and.

1450
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 14: Having a lot of fun. But I'm the nerd who's

1451
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 14: got twelve boxes at home in my garage of old

1452
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 14: Rolling Stone magazines and I found the one of you

1453
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 14: from thirty three years ago, the front of the Australian

1454
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 14: Rolling Stone Thank You very Much from June of nineteen

1455
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,680

1456
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:51,080

01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 9: Oh, that is spectacular.

1458
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 14: How did you go all along with fame and people

1459
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 14: wanting to take your photo? Did that sit well with you?

1460
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 14: Especially in the babyimals got big as well, But even

1461
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 14: in the early days, yeah, I'll.

1462
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 17: Tell you what, though, we weren't really famous. I mean

1463
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 17: we weren't. We were sort of well known, but we

1464
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 17: didn't really have that kind of super same that people have. No,

1465
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 17: we just and also, to be honest with you, when

1466
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,640
Speaker 17: that that album was big and the band sort of

1467
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 17: blew up, we were away touring. We came back after

1468
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 17: a couple of years. We toured after that in Australia,

1469
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 17: like we toured after that album went to number one

1470
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 17: and then I don't know. I think also that's the

1471
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 17: other reason I've been in a group is kind of

1472
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 17: you just sort of together, are you? We say, in

1473
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 17: on off our, it's like you do this, you get in,

1474
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 17: do the gig, you get you know, on off out,

1475
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 17: we sort of don't hang around. To be honest with you,

1476
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 17: We've got fans from back in the from the very

1477
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 17: beginning that are still with us.

1478
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:51,520
Speaker 9: Absolutely.

1479
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 17: It's wild. Yeah, We've We've done the whole journey with them.

1480
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 17: So I feel like it's a real honor. And people

1481
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 17: come up and want to do a photo and they

1482
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,600
Speaker 17: love the music, and that's really what it's about.

1483
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 13: You know.

1484
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 11: That's the quality of the songs. That's the thing.

1485
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 17: I guess it is. I hope it is. I think

1486
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 17: the song is what carries any success in a in

1487
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 17: a band.

1488
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 5: You know, some of those people all have been there

1489
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 5: at the Cat and Fiddle on that very first night.

Speaker 11: last week and I would live there later.

1508
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 17: Later I would go there. Yeah, I remember, actually I

1509
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 17: think I remember. I was there a few years ago

1510
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 17: over ye. But you know the other gigs. There was

1511
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,680
Speaker 17: Hernando's Highway, there was there was the Ones down and

1512
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 17: I got electrocuded at the ab H on Sunday Sunday session.

1513
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 17: I got a kicked back from the mic because I

1514
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 17: went on stage with no shoes. Floor a little there

1515
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 17: was a bit of a dodgy connection. As soon as

1516
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 17: my lips hit the mic, I got thrown back into

1517
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 17: the drum kit and had a big burn. There was

1518
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 17: a burnmark around the mic. Yeah, oh yeah, it's all

1519
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 17: happened part of the show. Yeah, I thought it was

1520
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:56,839
Speaker 17: the original.

1521
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 15: I love it.

1522
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 14: But would there have been many times you played a gig,

1523
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 14: well multiple gigs with photo playing. The next morning you're

1524
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 14: trying to count those annoying orange twenty dollar notes at

1525
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 14: the Aroni Bank.

1526
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 11: Did that happen a bit?

1527
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 17: Oh my god. Well, I swiftly left the bank. I

1528
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 17: only left school because my sister was working in the bank.

1529
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 17: My dease is working in the bank. And then Mum

1530
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 17: and dad said, yeah, you can leave if you want,

1531
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 17: but you have to go work. So I got this

1532
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 17: job and I lasted a year. I think I quit

1533
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:34,639
Speaker 17: before they were going to buy me, and I don't

1534
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 17: I was terrible. I was terrible at that.

1535
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 5: But yeah, well, Denise, she's also a musician, still performing

1536
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 5: around town plenty.

1537
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 9: Was there ever much rivalry between.

1538
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,920
Speaker 17: The two of you, There was a little bit. It

1539
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 17: was funny. It was like we were always so supportive. Yeah,

1540
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,839
Speaker 17: but then we were. I mean, I do take account

1541
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 17: a little bit of accountability because I dragged her into

1542
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 17: it a little bit. When we were doing we did

1543
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,640
Speaker 17: the kids this cup band for attle while and that

1544
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 17: kind of started her in the band stuff. And then

1545
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 17: and then she came over to Sydney and everything did

1546
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 17: all her other stuff. But there wasn't rivalry. It was

1547
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 17: more like a one upman ship. It's like, oh, yeah,

1548
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 17: you did that. Oh you know, I know I did

1549
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:23,759
Speaker 17: that to you. Yeah, but that's no, it's a healthy

1550
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:24,839
Speaker 17: kind of sisterly.

1551
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 15: You know.

1552
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 19: We love that.

1553
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 17: You know, we get to i mean do stuff together

1554
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 17: that we started sort of a little bit together. We all,

Speaker 17: along with it all.

1604
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,600

1609
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 17: Yeah, there was no labels in person, and you know

1610
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 17: what was really I was very lucky because I got

1611
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 17: I kind of got involved with Kevin Peek and Trevors Spencer.

1612
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 17: Did you know all that story. They were Australians who

1613
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 17: lived in England for twenty years before that, and they

1614
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 17: Kevin Peak was in Sky right wonderful, he's no longer

1615
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 17: with us, but they started a Woman Records, so I

1616
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 17: had a sort of a little taste of a labeling

1617
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 17: sort of thing. They saw a video that I had

1618
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 17: done in Photoplay and then we got talking and I

1619
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 17: did a little small deal with them, and that's how

1620
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 17: I got the deal with the m I in London

1621
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,560
Speaker 17: because they're all of their connections with there. But I

1622
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 17: did a lot of recording with them. Kevin had a

1623
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 17: studio up in Rolling Stone, an unreal beautiful property and

1624
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 17: a gorgeous little studio location for it. Yeah, gorgeous location,

1625
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:55,639
Speaker 17: you know. And I did a lot of studio work there.

1626
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 17: So they were really helpful in so learning just how

1627
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 17: to record, Like I didn't know how to you know,

1628
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 17: get how to get up to the mic and not

1629
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 17: to move too far back and all that kind of

1630
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 17: technique you know, not to get not to get and

1631
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,840
