  • Cold Chisel Announce First Ever Outdoor Summer Tour
    COLD CHISEL ANNOUNCE FIRST EVER OUTDOOR SUMMER TOUR SPECIAL GUESTS ON “BLOOD MOON 2020 TOUR” INCLUDE PAUL KELLY, HOODOO GURUS BIRDS OF TOKYO, KASEY CHAMBERS TROY CASSAR-DALEY, MAGIC DIRT AND MORE TICKETS ONSALE FROM MONDAY, 21 OCTOBER There’s nothing more Australian than hot sun, warm waves and Cold Chisel. The band's classic songs like Khe Sanh, Flame Trees, Bow River, My Baby, Cheap Wine, Saturday Night and You Got Nothing I Want have become the soundtrack to our summers. Since their legendary Last Stand way back in 1983, Cold Chisel has reformed for just four national tours, but they almost always played indoors and those gigs didn’t happen over the holidays. Now, for the first time ever, this legendary Australian band will be playing 14 very special outdoor shows in Australia and New Zealand during summer. Between New Year’s Eve and the second weekend of February, they’ll do gigs on the beach, gigs by the river and gigs in the bush. You’ve never seen anything like it before. You’ll never see anything like it again. Pre-sale tickets will go onsale on Wednesday 16 October at 2.00pm (local times) with General Public onsale from Monday, 21 October at 11.00am (local times) via the official ticket links here. It’s called the Blood Moon Tour 2020 - named after a rare lunar eclipse where the sun, earth and moon all briefly align before returning to their own orbits. "You might get to see a blood moon once in your life”, explains the band’s main songwriter and piano player, Don Walker.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Cold Chisel to Be the First Australian Band to Headline Hanging Rock
    COLD CHISEL TO BE THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN BAND TO HEADLINE HANGING ROCK JOINED BY MASSSIVE LINEUP OF AUSTRALIAN ROCK THE LIVING END, MARK SEYMOUR & THE UNDERTOW AND STONEFIELD In a career already jam packed with achievements, legendary rockers Cold Chisel are set to notch up yet another, becoming the first ever Australian band to headline a concert at Victoria’s iconic Hanging Rock. The concert, on Saturday 21 November, will notably be the only Victorian show on Cold Chisel’s One Night Stand national tour. "It's great to be the first Australian band to headline at Hanging Rock," said the band's piano player and chief songwriter Don Walker. "It's a location with incredible history and mystery. I hope we can add something to that, and I hope no-one goes missing." Joining Cold Chisel for this one night only concert will be a huge lineup of Aussie rock with The Living End, Mark Seymour & The Undertow and Stonefield all confirmed to perform. “We can't wait to play Hanging Rock," said frontman Jimmy Barnes. "And with such a great collection of Victorian artists - The Living End, Mark Seymour & The Undertow and Stonefield – playing with us, it certainly won't be a picnic." Cold Chisel’s November 21 Hanging Rock concert will see the band join illustrious names such as Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen, Rod Stewart and the Eagles to have headlined the iconic venue. With a history that spans forty years and a reputation forged through blistering live shows and a catalogue of much-loved songs and albums, Cold Chisel has become a part of the nation's psyche.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 30, 2014 MASCOT RECORDS AND
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 30, 2014 MASCOT RECORDS AND JIMMY BARNES ANNOUNCE JANUARY 27 RELEASE DATE FOR HINDSIGHT 15th Studio Album Marks Barnes' 30th Anniversary of Debut As Solo Artist, and Features Little Steven, The Baby Animals, Tina Arena & Joe Bonamassa, Family Members Diesel and Mahalia, and More in Celebrating Extraordinary Milestone New York --- Mascot Label Group's Provogue label and Jimmy Barnes have announced a January 27, 2015 release date for HINDSIGHT . The album marks his 30th anniversary as a solo artist, and his 15th studio release since stepping away from Cold Chisel. No Australian artist has enjoyed a more prolific, legendary career down under than Barnes, who has enjoyed fame and success on a global scale. He enjoyed an unparalleled and unbroken streak of six chart-topping albums in a row, spanning the 1980s and into the ’90s. Just like Cold Chisel previously, his solo work literally provided the soundtrack for a generation of Australians. The incredible statistics of nine number one albums in total (all but one of his 14 studio albums debuting inside the Top 3), alongside his dual induction in to the ARIA Hall of Fame (as a solo artist and member of Cold Chisel), have cemented Barnes legacy as one of the great Australian recording artists of all time. HINDSIGHT sees Barnes surrounded by family and friends, revisiting some of the biggest hits from throughout his solo career, along with a few deeper cuts. His family members contributing to the album include daughter Mahalia, son David Campbell and brother-in-law Diesel. His friends who collaborated on the recordings feature Jon Cain and Neil Schon of Journey, The Living End, Tina Arena, Steven Van Zandt, Joe Bonamassa and more.

Foster captured the essential dynamics of the antebellum mind and heart, which accounted for the immense popularity of his music even during the composer’s lifetime. Consequently, by placing Foster and his music within the historical context of his own antebellum society, culture, and history, I sought explanations for the following: the function of sentimentality in Foster’s tear-inducing parlor songs and in his blackface plantation songs; the Copperhead, anti-Lincoln politics of the Foster family; Foster’s non-companionate marriage to the high-tempered
