  • Adventures of the Amazing Revelators
    The Adventures of the Amazing Revelators "I don't see this as a greatest hits recording, more an opportunity to pay homage to some of the great writers of our time. The Revelators were formed out of a desire to keep this music alive. Some of these songs have been with us for some time - others we were drawn to because of their charm.... and every word is true." Joe Camilleri These were the words that graced The Revelators' 1991 debut CD release. 'Debut' is an odd word to use for a group of musicians who have been an integral part of the Australian music scene for so long. The Revelators The Revelators story started in the late 80's when Joe Camilleri, along with friends James Black and Joe Creighton, took to the stage as 'The Delta Revelators' . Their desire was to blow out the serious days' work with people who shared the same interest in music and who simply wanted to play it. On stage with Pete Luscombe on drums (Black Sorrows, Paul Kelly, Rebecca's Empire) and Jeff Burstin on guitar (Black Sorrows, Vika & Linda) the word spread that this was a great band. Soon the occasional gig was not enough to keep the punters happy. Regular sessions at ID's (now The Continental) and The Botanical Hotel had the fans asking 'When are you going to do a CD?' 'Amazing Stories' 'Amazing Stories' was released in 1991 and everyone in the band agreed it was the best album they had ever made. The fans felt the same and the CD is still eagerly sought after by roots music aficionados.

  • Amazing Release Q
    In the wake of the Revelators' critically acclaimed second album The Adventures of the Amazing Revelators, Head Records and Shock are very happy to present the long awaited rerelease of the band's out of print debut album Amazing Stories. The Revelators story started in the late 80's when Joe Camilleri, along with friends James Black and Joe Creighton, took to the stage as 'The Delta Revelators'. Initially a side project for the players, the word on The Revelators gigs soon spread, and the question of a recording was raised. Inspired by Joe's encyclopaedic knowledge of good music, songs from artists like the Burrito Bros., Jr Walker and Dylan were respectfully resur- rected and reinterpreted. The result was Amazing Stories . The album was recorded and released in 1991 at the height of the Black Sorrows’ Triple Platinum successes (Hold On To Me and Harley & Rose) and still everyone in The Revelators agreed it was the best album they had ever made. The fans felt the same and the album has become a must have title for any roots music aficionado’s collection. Amazing Stories 2001 has been fully remastered and includes two previ- ously unreleased bonus tracks recorded during the original 1991 sessions - Jimmy Reed's 'Honest I Do', and the country classic 'Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down'. To celebrate the rerelease of Amazing Stories The Revelators will be on tour for the first two weeks of August. Stay tuned for full touring details. The Revelators’ Amazing Stories is available now on Head Records thru Shock. For more information contact Head Records ph (03) 9537-7155, fx (03) 9537-7166 em <[email protected]> Or your local Shock Representative.

  • Biography 2002
    THE BLACK SORROWS Biography 2002 Joe Camilleri is an Australian legend who has given his life to music. In the mid 80s following the success of his first band, Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons, Joe Camilleri gathered together a group of musician friends and dubbed them The Black Sorrows. The band began playing for the fun of it, recording independent albums and selling them out of the boot of his car. When radio picked up the classic track, 'Mystified',The Black Sorrows really took flight. They signed to CBS and proceeded to release some of Australia's most successful albums including the multi-platinum sellers Hold On To Me, Harley & Rose and The Chosen Ones. Over the past fifteen years, The Black Sorrows have toured Australia more times than anyone can remember, played sell out shows across Europe, won the ARIA for 'Best Band' and sold more than a million albums world-wide. Joe Camilleri's songs have become part of our lives. The Sorrows' string of hits is seemingly endless: Dear Children, Country Girls, Snake Skin Shoes, Harley & Rose, The Chosen Ones, Mystified, Ain't Love The Strangest Thing, Better Times, Never Let Me Go, Chained To The Wheel, Daughters of Glory, Stir It Up, New Craze... and he's certainly not done yet. Look around the world and you have to put Joe in the same company as people like Eric Clapton and Van Morrison - legends, performers whose careers span decades, transcending all styles and fads, performers who are loved for the fact that they're obviously in it for the music.

  • Bio the Revelators
    The Revelators LAUNCH THEIR 3rd LP THE REVELATORS So you’ve played the stadiums, you’ve topped the charts, you’ve toured the world and racked up gold, platinum and sundry other mantelpiece trifles. You’ve written songs, recorded albums, managed bands, produced bands, played sessions and watched your stock rise, fall and rise again on the whims of fashion. Four decades later, what really matters? For The Revelators, THE it’s the music itself and the people you play it with. It’s how much you love it and how well you do it. And it’s something REVELATORS else you’ll never quite put your finger on. James Black: ‘It’s probably a soul thing primarily. We like roots music, that style of playing, that mixture of blues and soul and country with good songs thrown in. We’ve also made a lot of records so we’re always trying to get a good feeling, a good sound. And we can play.’ Joe Creighton: ‘It’s an opportunity to plug directly into that source material, whether it’s John Lee Hooker or Muddy Waters or Doug Sahm. We approach roots music in the way jazz musicians play: we open it up and jam on it, we don’t play a song the same way every night.’ Joe Camilleri: ‘For me, it’s as simple as loving the people and loving what they do. Joe Creighton’s one of the best bass players in Australia and James is a world class musician too. He’s always looking for something inside a song.

  • Burke CV2018
    Associate Professor Robert Burke Curriculum vitae 2018 Personal Details Full name: Associate Professor Robert Louis Burke Current position: Convenor of Jazz and Popular Music Department/ Monash University School/ Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music Faculty/Division: Faculty of Arts Correspondence address: 14 Albert St Caulfield North 3161 Email address: [email protected] ABOUT In 2002, Rob Burke instigated, launched and is currently the Convenor of Jazz and Popular Studies at Monash University (Melbourne Australia). Rob recognised an unfulfilled need in Melbourne's jazz academic landscape, established its course curriculum and provided a clear pathway for musicians to develop their proficiency and aptitude for their academic and performance outcomes. His background as a classically educated musician also enables him to traverse many musical genres and he is in a unique position to speak to students and colleagues about their requirements/concerns and provide balanced outcomes. His ongoing research focuses on issues relating to how we respond to improvised jazz: artistically, critically and personally. His work includes studying the processes and outcomes of music participation and music listening. An internationally acclaimed performer and composer, Rob has released 12 CD's under his own name and has composed and performed on a further 300 CD's. His sensitive and balanced perspective has allowed Rob to traverse many different styles and this has, in part, been expressed as collaborative performances with international leaders in classical, jazz and experimental music. His embrace of many genres of music and the clear expression of his diversity in his role as an educator, researcher and performer, has given rise to a vibrant dialect that resonates through his students and also his performances.

  • The History of Roadrunner (1978-83)
    THE HISTORY OF ROADRUNNER (1978-83) By Donald Robertson Synopsis This is the story of how an Adelaide punk fanzine blossomed into a well-loved national music magazine that chronicled the glory days of Australian post-punk and ‘pub rock’ music in the period 1978-83. The do-it-yourself ethos espoused by the UK punk movement in the mid-1970s was strongly felt in Australia and inspired bands to form, play live and record and release their own records. The concurrent expansion of live music venues across the country (mainly pubs) meant more bands could live, work and play. Roadrunner was also very much a product of this do-it-yourself ethos. From the bunch of evangelical music fans and writers who initially came together, some left and others joined and as those involved became more technically proficient the magazine developed and grew. With no financial backing (until the final despairing issue), Roadrunner survived for five years due to the combination of a posse of enthusiastic (and usually unpaid) contributors, a creative and understanding production crew, a sympathetic printer, the support of key music industry personalities and— perhaps most important of all—a small but dedicated readership. In 2017, the University of Wollongong in New South Wales made all 48 issues of Roadrunner available in a digital archive (at http://ro.uow.edu.au/roadrunner/). The History of Roadrunner 1 IntroduCtion When Martin Sharp, the internationally acclaimed Australian artist, died in 2013, I read that the University of Wollongong had created a digital archive of the Sydney and London Oz magazines that he was such a part of.

    Music Joe Camilleri Joe Camilleri is a well known Melbourne composer, performer and musician. Camilleri has a relatively detailed wiki here. He also has a biography on his eponymous website here: Joe Camilleri, writer of milestone Australian songs such as So Young, Hit And Run, Shape I’m In, Hold On To Me, Harley and Rose, Chained To The Wheel and Never Let Me Go, has given his life to making music in this country. Leader of two of Australia’s most successful bands, Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons and The Black Sorrows, Joe’s music has become part of Australian music culture. Joe was inducted along with other members of the Falcons, into the Australian Recording Industry (ARIA Hall of Fame) in 2007 In 1975 Joe, a self taught musician from Melbourne’s western suburbs, formed Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons, a band who swung from R’n’B to reggae, power pop and ska. Over a period of 8 years The Falcons amassed enviable sales and radio airplay and ultimately epitomised the era. Jo Jo Zep and The Falcons toured the country relentlessly and became one of Australia’s finest live outfits. The band also toured the USA. In the early ‘80s Camilleri and friends started up a new band, The Black Sorrows. Originally a ‘just for the fun of it’ outfit, The Sorrows have released 18 albums over three decades and sold over two million albums world-wide. The Black Sorrows has always been an elastic band and over its life has been home to some 32 of Australia’s finest musical talents.

  • “Covering” the Bluesman from a Distance
    Introduction In many ways, my journey towards this thesis topic began with my brother’s music collection. Throughout my teens he would introduce me to a wide range of local and international acts, many of which were influenced by African-American blues artists. This influence is evident in both their construction of sound and the old songs that they rerecorded. From there I began tracing musical influences from song credits and interview excerpts—a path often travelled by musicians and fans alike—that would eventually lead me to an appreciation of blues music. The penultimate step towards this topic came in the form of my honours thesis—a creative project that involved rerecording several tracks from the catalogue of an early Australian country music artist, one of which was titled “Blue Mountain Blues”.1 From there I turned to blues music in Australia. Initially conceived as a history of “Australian blues”, it became apparent that this proposed sub-genre struggled to unify and explain the disparate musical styles contained therein. Although each artist was clearly addressing the musical characteristics and influences I had come to recognise as “blues music”, it all sounded different. In the meantime, I developed a keen interest in a fellow colleague’s thesis topic that addressed the role of “covers” within the Australian music industry (Giuffre, 2005). My epiphany—and catalyst for the current thesis topic—eventually presented itself while viewing a live performance from Peter Green Splinter Group. The concert was split into two courses: an acoustic entrée featuring several Robert Johnson “covers”; and, an electric main with side dishes of early Fleetwood Mac material—the band Green had help found many years ago.
