When I caught up with singer Leo Sayer to talk about his latest album ‘Restless Years’, he was enjoying a couple of days off in between gigs on his national tour of the same name. “I’ve moved home,” he informs me. “So I’m building a studio here so there’s a bit of stuff to do in the background.” The tour …

  The Chantoozies earned themselves a legion of fans across the country in the 80s and 90s with hits like ‘Wanna Be Up’, ‘Witch Queen’ and ‘Kiss and Tell’ and became known for their high energy live performances, having toured with some of the biggest names in the music business. And they want to let their fans know that they …

  Grace Knight is one of those rare performers whose vocal style just can’t be pigeon-holed. One minute she is singing pop songs with her band, Eurogliders; the next, she is performing jazz tunes in an intimate venue in Melbourne and, as I write this, the singer is recording an album of new material that does not necessarily fit neatly …

STEVE BALBI:  Same hat, different attitude… As a Noiseworks fan, it was a privilege recently to chat by phone with Steve Balbi. In the 80s, I saw Steve perform many times with Noiseworks, a band that he still performs with today. My most recent experience of seeing Steve perform was with Mi-Sex, Noiseworks and the Angels 100% at the Rock …

We all have songs that evoke the sights and sounds of yesteryear and, for me, one of them is It Must Have Been Love by Roxette.  I’m transported back to a smoke filled haze at ‘Stags’ at Auburn RSL in the early 90s.  After the local band had finished, the DJ would play a cluster of the most popular hits …

Many of you would know Damien Leith as the softly spoken Irishman who won viewers’ hearts (and votes) on Australian Idol in 2006. The singer has won over many more fans since then with his amazing voice and has forged a successful career in the music industry but it might come as a surprise to know that singing isn’t his …

They were one of Australia’s most beloved bands in the 80s, touring the country and recording hits like ‘Heaven (Must Be There)’, ‘We Will Together’ and ‘Can’t Wait to See You’. And next month Eurogliders will be bringing their hits to the famous Spiegeltent at Melbourne’s Docklands for a special ‘live and intimate’ acoustic show. I caught up with the band’s guitarist, …

Last week the Brewsters performed their show, ‘Brothers, Angels and Demons’ to a sold out audience at The Promethean in Adelaide and this weekend they are bringing it to Sydney. Brothers Rick and John Brewster are no strangers to performing. They have been doing it for over 40 years, much of that time with one of Australia’s most legendary rock …

Singer/songwriter Rose Carleo is currently touring with Paul Woseen on his ‘Bombido’ tour. Paul, of course, is the bass player with Aussie rockers, The Screaming Jets and Rose met Paul several years ago in Perth while her partner,  Mick, has known him for quite some time, and has done a couple of gigs with Paul in different line-ups so, when …

2014 was a big year for singer/songwriter and Screaming Jets bassist, Paul Woseen. Not only did the Jets celebrate their 25th Annivesary with a highly successful national tour but Paul also commenced a tour of his own, performing as a solo artist and released his first solo album, ‘Bombido’. Now, he’s back again in 2015 and picking up that tour where …
