    EDITION #20 – September 2008 SPECIAL "SHADOZ" ISSUE!! "Shadoz 2008" marked our 6th anniversary, as well as the 50th anniversary of Cliff and The Shadows. Yet another new venue, and, from all reports the best yet. On a sad note, we recently lost one of our Shadoz friends, Don Hill. Don played drums for Harry's Webb and The Vikings last year, and was one of the 'stalwarts' of Shadoz in recent times. R.I.P. Don. TONY KIEK (Keyboards) and GEORGE LEWIS (Guitar) were fresh from a tour of the UK, where they appeared at a number of Shadows clubs. They were gracious enough to help out by filling the 'dreaded' opening spot. Their set was a wonderful introduction to the day, and they featured some great sounds with WONDERFUL LAND / FANDANGO (with WALTZING MATILDA intro) / DANCES WITH WOLVES / THING-ME-JIG / RODRIGO'S CONCERTO / GOING HOME (THEME FROM 'LOCAL HERO') / THE SAVAGE / SPRING IS NEARLY HERE Whilst Tony and George travelled down from Sydney, no less a feat were the next band, who have travelled from overseas – Phillip Island! - ROB WATSON (Bass) was formerly with Melbourne group "The Avengers", TONY MERCER (Lead Guitar) also played with various Melbourne groups before "retiring" to the island and forming "SHAZAM", MIKE McCABE (Rhythm) worked in England in the 60's with "Hardtack", MARTY SAUNDERS (Drums) played with the popular showband "Out To Lunch" amongst others, and JEFF CULLEN (Lead vocals and rhythm guitar) sang with The Aztecs in Sydney before Billy Thorpe, then with The Rat Finks. A nice mix of Shads and non-Shads numbers included ADVENTURES IN PARADISE / MAN OF MYSTERY / ATLANTIS / THE CRUEL SEA / THE RISE AND FALL OF FLINGEL BUNT / GENIE WITH THE LIGHT BROWN LAMP / IT'S A MAN'S WORLD / THE SAVAGE / CINCINNATTI FIREBALL (voc) / LOVE POTION NO.9 (voc) / THE WANDERER (voc) / THE STRANGER / WALK DON'T RUN One of the joys of "Shadoz" is the ability to welcome newcomers to our shindig.

  • Após Cinco Shows Nostálgicos, Midnight Oil Se Despede Do Brasil
    Após cinco shows nostálgicos, Midnight Oil se despede do Brasil Entre os anos 80 e a primeira década do novo século, o Midnight Oil saiu da Austrália para ganhar o mundo, transformando-se em uma das referências do rock´n roll mundial, não só pela qualidade de seu som, mas também pela força de suas ideias. Suas fortes convicções políticas, sua defesa das principais causas ambientais e dos direitos do povo aborígene transformaram seus hits em hinos, seus shows em eventos que ressuscitaram a mítica do espírito contestador e inconformista do rock’n roll. Fundada em 1972, como The Farm (o grupo mudou o nome para Midnight Oil em 76), a banda lançou 13 álbuns entre 1978 e 2002 (ano do lançamento de seu último trabalho, Capricornia), esteve no topo das paradas em todo o mundo, fez turnês por todos os continentes e viveu momentos memoráveis, como quando se apresentou para um público estimado em mais de 1 bilhão de pessoas no encerramento das Olimpíadas de Sidney, em 2000. Após a turnê de lançamento do último álbum e a saída do vocalista Peter Garrett (que deixou a banda para seguir uma carreira política em tempo integral), o Midnight Oil decidiu encerrar suas atividades. Em fevereiro, em uma coletiva de imprensa realizada no porto de Sidney, a banda anunciou uma nova turnê mundial - The Great Circle 2017 World Tour - que começa com um show em um pub em Sydney e, em seguida, passará pelo Brasil, América do Norte, Europa e Nova Zelândia, antes de retornar à Austrália para um encerramento culminante.

  • “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.
