anytime we have enough songs to make an album - go ahead and make it. That’s kinda how we do it, every two or three years you come up with a body of work. . . making the songs good or not -it’s what you’ve gone through at that time in your life, that’s how we talk about it.”
TRAPT Interview by Ian Messenger You may be forgiven to be unaware of Californian hard rock outfit TRAPT as they have never toured Australia before, but this will change in July as the quartet will bring their big guitar sound to the Governor Hindmarsh main stage. One might be content to put on the rainsuit and go fishing after you sold 2.5 million albums worldwide, but BSide spoke to frontman Chris Taylor Brown I think in Chicago as he was sound checking for an intimate acoustic show.
“We’re just on an acoustic tour right now, doing TRAPT’s best songs acoustic, myself and our drummer doing the drumbox cone thing. People have been digging it and we’ve had a blast doing it, so you know that’s what we like to do is play live. And we’re bringing the full experience to Australia for the first time.” It was 2002 when TRAPT had their massive hit Headstrong and have put out an impressive seven studio albums. I asked Brown how long is he going to record albums, like, until he dies? “Well, yeah. Anyone who calls themselves a songwriter should be writing songs. So that’s kind of what we do, write songs, and 6
don’t think we are metal or nu-metal in any way. . .
“We have eclectic songs, we want to be hard sometimes, we want to be melodic and leave space, and we want to be a dynamic band. We don’t want to see how many kick drum beats we can get into a bar of a song,” laughs Brown.
‘I think the bands out there who stick true to what they want to do in music, and their sound, I think last longer than bands that are just part of a theme and sound like every other band.”
Hard rock music often seems a rebellion against the status quo of society, of man versus society, yet TRAPT ventures TRAPT is ready to come out to Australia for into personal their first tour, although they are territory when well known on the many loud tour circuit beyond “I think ba bands wouldn’t America. sically the sense b dare to go. I ehind asked him “We make a point it is be you rself about that. to hang out with all and do wh our fans after a show, at you w ant to do a “Yeah personal to say hi to them, nd things you sign autographs or need to do a nd know, and whatever, to get to never apolo stuff I see know them and ask gise for it - that’ other people them how they got into s the going TRAPT and what TRAPT ‘headstron g’ through. has become for them. part you kn . . emotions I’m going Hanging out with our ow.” through, or I can relate to fans. . . we’re vibing over what someone else is going that stuff.” through. I think that’s maybe what’s best what we write about.” TRAPT play The Headstrong was such a popular song, and I wondered what it was that made that track hit a big nerve with such a wide audience.
“I think basically the sense behind it is be yourself and do what you want to do and need to do and never apologise for it - that’s the ‘headstrong’ part you know,” muses Brown. “That thing - so many people out there apologising for being who they are. . . fear is what’s keeping people back, so call yourself ‘headstrong’.” TRAPT recently played the Make America Rock Again festival, and I asked him what he thought the state of hard rock and metal was in America now. “I think it’s pretty strong in Australia, it’s pretty strong in UK, it’s pretty strong in America. I don’t think it ever goes away. I think that TRAPT is a band that’s never been pigeonholed as nu-metal thing, it’s just kinda bull. You go ‘je-je’ on the guitar and it’s nu-metal I guess. Some of our songs have a heavy edge to them, a hard rock edge, but I

likely happen.
“We are presuming that, of course, but looking back it is remarkable that it didn’t somehow happen,” he continues. “And it’s all the more remarkable because our brother, who played guitar in the band in the very early days, emigrated to Australia in the ’80s although he has since moved back but still has family there. So John and I have a niece and nephew who live in Perth.”
Legendary Northern Irish punk band The Undertones are embarking on their first ever Australian tour which has original band members joined by singer Paul McLoone who hooked up with them when they reformed in 1999 as original singer Feargal The Undertones Sharkey declined to be sprang to life in involved. BSide Magazine enjoyed a chat over the telephone early one evening to guitarist Damian O’Neill who plays in the band alongside McLoone, brother John O’Neill (also on guitar), bass player Michael Bradley and drummer Billy Doherty. It’s remarkable that the band never made it to Australia back in their heyday.
“I’m sure we were often asked,” Damian says with a laugh, “but certain members of the band didn’t like being away from home for too long. So we now think, knowing that, our manager would get offers but didn’t bother to respond because he knew it wouldn’t 8
– alongside songs by The Boomtown Rats, Elvis Costello, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Ramones, The Only Ones, Wreckless Eric, Mink DeVille, Patti Smith Group and more – to the 1978 film That Summer.
“Oh, I remember that,” Damian says. “It was a great album and I used to have it on vinyl but it’s disappeared over the years. I have no idea where it got to.” The guitarist is naturally left-handed but plays guitar right-handed.
“You’ve been doing [London]Derry your homework “It was in Oct ober of in 1974 and haven’t you?” Damian 1979 and we to ured come 1978 had laughs. “Where did you there with Th scored hometown read that?

John Peel who paid for a recording session in Belfast which yielded the “But for me it was too hard to keep song Teenage Kicks. restringing it to play it left-handed so I just learnt to play it as it was,” he says. It was that song that first brought “And because it was so hard, I used to The Undertones to my attention as spend hours on it. I remember spending it had appeared on the soundtrack weeks up in my room working it all out.
“Looking back it was amazing that I did that – I could have been the next Jimi Hendrix – but that’s what happened and it would now feel really weird to play a left-handed guitar after all these years. I just don’t think I could do it. It would feel unnatural now.” And what was it like growing up in Derry when Northern Ireland was awash with religious conflict?
“As you know, there were some bad times with The Troubles and it was very bleak,” Damian sighs. “And there was nothing to do. All we had was football and music. We’d spend a lot of time outside playing football. And there were no youth clubs to go to or anything. “I think that really helped us as a band because once we got into playing music, which we convened in our living room and bedroom, that’s all we did because, as I say, there was nothing else to do other than football.”
Damian says there were virtually no places to even play to an audience when the band first began gigging. “We did our first gig in a scout hall,” he laughs. “And that was only because Feargal was a scout leader – not too many people know that – so we played to about six cub scouts who were about nine years old. But we went down really well.
it to death on his radio show after paying for us to record it – and that resulted in us getting signed to a major record label.”
Surprisingly perhaps, Teenage Kicks only charted at number 31 on the UK singles charts and didn’t even dent the Northern Irish charts, while the band’s only top 10 entry in both charts was My Perfect Cousin, a song Damian penned with bass player Michael Bradley for their second album, Hypnotised. “And that’s something Michael and I are always pointing out to John,” Damian laughs. “My Perfect Cousin was our only top 10 hit.”
The guitarist, who formed That Petrol Emotion with his brother John when The Undertones split up, has very fond memories of the band’s first foray to the US. “It was in October of 1979 and we toured there with The Clash,” he easily recalls. “And it was just before the release of London Calling so they were doing a lot of songs from that great, great album.”
will include all the hit material.
“And since we reformed, we’ve also recorded a couple of albums [2003’s Get What You Need and 2007’s Dig Yourself Deep] so we’ll be doing four or five songs from those,” he states. “But, yeah, we always do lots of the old songs from the first albums.”
Northern Irish punk band The Undertones make their first ever tour to Australia to play the Governor Hindmarsh, 59 Port Rd, Hindmarsh, on Sunday 9 July with The Systemaddicts and Green Circles as special guests and with tickets on sale via the venue or OzTix.

“We then graduated to Catholic church halls and even played a couple of school halls,” he laughs. “We’d play anywhere just to get the experience. And then we got a residency at The Casbah. It was our lucky break because it was a pub in the centre of Derry so John wrote a song about it called Casbah Rock. “And that residency was our big break as it meant we could play quite often,” Damian adds. “And we learnt our chops and started writing our own songs and the word spread and more and more people were coming to the gigs.”
Did the word of mouth spread to places such as Belfast?
“No, not at the time,” Damian says. “That only happened after we’d recorded Teenage Kicks and were getting played on the radio. So it was after being encouraged by John Peel – he played

What is your latest release(s), how are they coming out (vinyl, USB), are you touring something in particular when you play at Enigma? We’ve done a 2 track 7” and then we recorded an album titled Weapons of Mass Distraction which we released on USB card which includes a few film clips. We were going to press it to vinyl but thought it best to just do it this way for now.
Under The Cut interview by Ian Messenger Made up of past members of some pretty successful bands from a few years back, a new incarnation led by Chris Debono is returning to Adelaide with their unique blend of eighties sounds and hard hitting three piece. BSide was only able to hold a back and forth email interview with Debono and it goes a little somethang like this: When did UTC form, and why? Mid 2014 in a round about way. It came about when Alex Wood from Christ Crusher (Melbourne grind syndicate) came over and kept asking me to start a band with him as he was a huge identity theft fan. We initially started an instrumental band with Kev from Mass Appeal on bass. That went on for a few weeks and then kinda fizzled out. Fast forward to 2016 and Alex and I started hanging out again and we had a good chat about a different approach and I’ve always wanted to do an 80’s vibe band as I originally did nearly 20 years ago! So I pulled out some of those old tunes and rehashed ‘em and we formed Under The Cut. Alex has since departed as he felt it wasn’t really his scene and now we’ve got Justin Bond from Coerce and Away From Now fame. Alex and I are still brothers and I love him dearly for making me get off my arse and back into music again.
What band is your greatest or one of greatest influences, and why?
When you first picked up a guitar how old were you and what did you first start playing?
I was 14. My mate Chris had an electric guitar sitting in his room and he started playing Yankee doodle. I was amazed that someone I knew could pay a guitar. I got him to teach me and a few months later I was playing every Metallica solo I could learn. Its funny actually because I could play solos before I could play rhythm. Chris at the time said “Ummm now can you teach me” haha. What’s the most fun gig you ever played?
I’ve pretty much enjoyed every gig I’ve ever played but the ones that stand out the most would have to be the Arthouse shows back in the day. One in particular would be the first time I’d ever witnessed people going nuts to my band - Identity Theft. That was such a buzz. Tell me about Arthouse, for those of us in Adelaide who might not be aware?
“I’ve always o an wanted to d nd 80’s vibe ba y as I originall 0 did nearly 2 years ago!”
Thats a tough question! Thanks to an older sister who loved music I grew up on Joy Division - Iron Maiden - Roy Orbison - AC/DC - The Human League and many more..

But If I had to choose which band influenced me to play/write the most it would have to be a band called Aclys from Germany which Dave Collins (MYC) put me onto. He’d picked up a 7” from Greg Spiral Objective back in the day and once I’d heard that I was in heaven! That band was Identity Thefts main influence.
The arthouse was a pub that would give any band a go. I guess the CBGB of Australia. It was run by the most loveliest couple I’ve ever met, Marie and Pete and then later on Marie’s daughter Mel took over. You always felt welcome and a part of the arthouse family pretty quickly.
It was covered in amazing artwork by locals and by overseas backpackers that were staying at the pub. Ah the memories....
There’s nothing to say that we won’t be pressing it on vinyl in the future. We’re just coming up to play a show and we will have copies of our releases on hand to sell at the gig. We’ll also be giving away a few copies at the Enigma show. A USB release is such an awesome idea, but you must need to make your artwork very small. Do you have a tiny paintbrush or something?
Well my cat Puzzle has tiny paws, so she was in charge of producing the artwork for it. She did pretty well and is looking forward to designing our EP cover. She’s shown me a few ideas so far but she seems to be leaning towards painting pictures of food which isn’t really our vibe, so I have to have a good chat to her. What are the future plans?
We’ve just finished an EP with Sam Johnson at Holes And Corners. (Bennies and Smith St producer/engineer) Also Jay (MYC - IDTheft) and I have started a thrash band called Horrified hopefully we’ll have something out soon!
Under The Cut (ex Coerce and Identity Theft) play Enigma Bar which is 173 Hindley St, Adelaide, with Heartbeats In The Hallway (ex Price of Silence and Forcefed 9) on Friday 30 June. Where? Enigma Bar, 173 Hindley St, Adelaide When? Friday 30 June
she adds. “So we’ll now be able to support them with their projects. It opens everything up and I now think crowd funding is a lovely way to open new doors.” The Weeping Willows came together when Laura and Andrew were both playing with Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes.
“Laura and I both felt we wanted to do music that was more acoustic,” Andrew says. “And that’s nothing against Lachlan because he’s great, but we just felt we wanted to do an acoustic duo thing and keep it more stripped back. “We wanted to do some country duets – things like June Carter and Johnny Cash – and then we started doing our own material in that kinda vein. Weepy country songs.”
THE WEEPING WILLOWS THE WEEPING WILLOWS By Robert Dunstan Alternative country act The Weeping Willows (Laura and Andrew) are coming back to town armed with their new Americana offering, Before Darkness Comes A-Callin’, for two shows with special guests at each. “We try to get to South Australia a couple of times each year because we love it there and have made some good friends,” Andrew begins. “We know Marta Bayly and Andy Armstrong from Andy & Marta really well and Courtney Robb too. “Y’know, there seems to be a really nice community vibe in SA between musicians with everyone supporting each other which is a beautiful thing.”
“So we can’t wait to get back because it seems in SA that everyone comes out to support the shows,” Laura then suggests. “And we’re touring with Brad Butcher for his new single, Well Dressed Man, which is from his new album so it’s going to be a lot of fun. “And, I kid you not, but Laura and I would eventually like to retire and live somewhere in SA like Aldinga or Willunga,” Andrew laughs. “But that’s another 30 years away.”
The duo, whose last visit to SA was to perform at the award-winning Fleurieu Folk Festival, recorded Before Darkness Comes A-Calling over in Los Angeles with engineer Ryan Freeland whose work has previously won Grammy awards. “We’d got onto Ryan, who has done some great albums over the years, via email at first,” Andrew says. “And then there was a lot of
back and forth correspondence working out when we could come over and when he was available. “And Ryan was great because we were working in his little home studio in Los Angeles over the course of a week,” he continues. “And Ryan is one of those engineers who records everything. He just has everything running all the time. ‘So, with one song, we did a quick rehearsal before actually recording it but Ryan said that run through he’d recorded was actually the best take so that’s what ended up on the album.”
The new album has picked up rave reviews in a number of high profile music magazines and was nominated for no less than four Golden Guitar awards at this year’s Tamworth Country Music Festival.
“We didn’t win anything in the end,” Andrew laughs, “but it was fantastic to be nominated four times “With one song, in various categories. We also got to play we did a quick at the awards night rehearsal before so it was nice to be part of such a massive actually recording production as that.
it but Ryan said that run through he’d recorded was actually the best take.”
“And we really pushed ourselves to record live as much as we could so it was like what people would be hearing at a gig,” Laura adds. “That’s pretty much the sound we wanted to capture and Ryan did that.” The Weeping Willows’ new album came about due to a crowd-funding campaign which, while successful, was not something Laura initially approached with ease.
“It just didn’t sit comfortably with me at first until people started pointing out that it really just asking for money for an album before it had been recorded,” she says. ‘Even so, I remember nervously hovering over the ‘submit’ button for ages before pressing it.
“They had me using a electronic pack instead of a guitar lead which I’d never done before,” he says. “That was quite an experience as I’m way more used to working with broken down PA systems and dodgy guitar leads.”
The Weeping Willows will have Brad Butcher and Harry Hookey with them when they play the Wheatsheaf Hotel, 39 George St, Thebarton, on Saturday 1 July. The Weeping Willows and Brad will also be at McLaren Vale’s The Singing Gallery on Friday 30 June.

“But the whole campaign was really successful – people said that once you hit 30% you are pretty much guaranteed of making the full target – and while a lot of friends who also play music supported us, we also made a whole lot of new friends who play music. “So that was a very nice aspect about it all,”

thing. Songs In The Key Of Soul won’t be about replicating the songs we hear on the recordings but replicating the energy of them.
“Being there is what makes a live performance special for those who are there on the night experiencing it,” Dino says. “Technology is yet to capture that because you can listen to a record or watch a video but it’s never going to be the same as actually being there when it was all happening. Being at a live show is something you can never replicate because it’s all about being in the moment.”
SONGS IN THE KEY OF SOUL By Robert Dunstan Dino Jag, currently enjoying great success with his Breakthrough EP, and Gail Page, a former contestant on The Voice, have teamed up to present Songs In The Key Of Soul as part of Music SA’s Umbrella Winter City Sounds, so we enjoyed a chat to Dino about how it all came about. “In between writing your own material and working on your own shows, you get some of your inspiration for all of that by listening to some of the classic songs,” he begins. “So I thought it would be good to put on a show and work with a bunch of musicians I had never worked with before on some of the classic soul songs.
“And working with new people is always exciting because you always get a fresh energy going on as no one really knows quite what to expect,” Dino laughs. “It’s all about coming up with something fresh and new and, for me, getting on stage with Gail and a bunch of people I have never worked with before is very exciting.
“It’s as exciting as writing a new song or watching the birth of a new performance,” he says. “So we are really looking forward to capturing the really raw energy of those old soul songs and infecting the crowd with it.
“And that’s the way a lot of those songs were first performed,” Dino adds. “And some of them – such as Stevie Wonder’s Living For The City which we do in the show – were very cutting edge for the time and still relevant. For example, Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come, which we will also be doing, is still relevant today. The song’s message still resonates today.”
Dino is excited to be working alongside Gail Page.
“I’ve never worked with her before but have seen her sing,” he enthuses. “And the fact Gail is now living permanently in South Australia is a real gift for us because she has such a huge voice. I’d say it’s one of the biggest voices around and there is so much emotional depth to it. And, in terms of vocal range, she is just staggering.
Dino and Gail have enlisted the services of a stellar band for Songs In The Key Of Soul.
“We’ve got Enrico ‘Mick’ Morena on drums, a seasoned musician who has played with everyone – everybody from Kate Ceberano through to The Baker Suite as well as some internationals – and on guitar we’ll have Georgy K [George Klironomos] with Tristan Rodda on bass and also backing vocals which is very important for this show,” Dino reveals.
“We are reall y looking forwa rd to capturing the really raw energy of tho se old soul song s and infecting the crowd with it .”
“So as soon as I thought about the show and started thinking about doing some duets with someone, Gail was the first person I thought of,” Dino says. “And when I contacted Gail she was very excited about it and, because we have never worked together before, there’s going to be some magical edginess as we both try and find our way in and around the songs we’ve chosen.
“We’ll need to find that harmony so that’s what is going to make it exciting and has got us both really pumped up for the show,” he adds. Dino goes on to say that songs by artists such as Sam & Dave and Aretha Franklin will feature in the show.
“They won’t always be what people expect though because Gail and I will be doing some of them as duets which was not always the way they were originally done,” he explains. “And, for some, Gail will be singing songs originally performed by male artists and I will be delivering some of the songs by female artist. “We wanted to really mix it up and make it interesting for the audience as well as ourselves,” Dino then explains further. “We’ll really be twisting it up and bring a live kind of approach to the whole
“And we’ll have two keyboard players,” he then announces. “Russell James will be focusing on piano and other elements of that, while Dave Ross will be hitting the organ pretty hard and also doing some string effects.
“And we purposely didn’t include a horn section because we wanted to steer the arrangements in a different kind of way,” Dino continues. “With a horn section there’s always the danger of it becoming the old, clichéd soul arrangements and we are going for something a bit different.
“We wanted to steer well away from that and have more of a focus on an old school R&B sound with a focus on guitar and keyboards,” he concludes.
Dino Jag and Gail Page will present Songs In The Key Of Soul as part of Umbrella Winter City Sounds at The Arkaba Hotel, 150 Glen Osmond Rd, Fullerton, on Friday 14 July with tickets via Moshtix or at the door for $35.

CARS 3 (G) *** The third in Pixar’s Cars series (the 18th Pixar movie all up, and 11 years after the first Cars pic) obviously isn’t quite as fresh as the first but, then again, neither are four-wheeled protagonist Lightning McQueen, Pixar main-man and producer John Lasseter, and indeed all of us. Therefore, and quite movingly, this expands upon themes that some audiences thought made their Toy Story 3 too dark, meaning that TS3 is about the certainty and pain of growing up and no longer being a kid, and Cars 3 is all about the inevitability of getting old and losing your touch.
In that weird world where cars and trucks talk, Lightning (Owen Wilson’s voice again) fears that he isn’t fast enough anymore, especially with the appearance of Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer’s voice), a technologically advanced and awfully up-himself motor vehicle. When Lightning crashes during a race with Storm and others and is publicly humiliated, he spends four months being serviced (so to speak) and being haunted

TRINITY SESSIONS 15TH BIRTHDAY By Robert Dunstan
Trinity Sessions, a regular series of music concerts held at Church Of The Trinity, 318 Goodwood Rd, Clarence Pk, is celebrating its 15th year of operation in 2017 and have some exciting events planned. BSide Magazine spoke to Roger Freeman who, alongside partner Yvonne, curates the concerts held at the church and began by asking how it all came about.
“Occasionally you have to be a bit selfish,” Roger laughs. “I’d got back into going to see live music in the ‘90s after a bit of a break from it and, as I was getting older, I was getting a bit over going to pubs and thought there had to be something better. “And because Church Of The Trinity has always been quite a liberal one, I thought I wouldn’t mind seeing some live music put on there,” he continues. “So I talked to them about it – I don’t think they really understood quite what I was getting at at first and neither did I really – and it all went from there after I’d spoken to Pete Arthur of Junior – it was Pete who came up with the name Trinity Sessions after The Cowboy Junkies’ album – and Sue Arlidge who was managing Fruit back then. “And when we first started it up we had no idea what it be like,” Roger continues further. “We only had four concerts in 2002 – the original plan was to put on
22
one each season – but it’s grown since then and more and more people approach us about playing there.
“And I started to approach people I wanted to see play there – people like Mick Thomas and Sally Dastey,” he adds. Roger says it did take a while for some to come to terms with performing in a working church.
“I think they thought it would be a bit too formal and bit scary due to the audience being so quiet,” he considers. “Another concern was that it would have a crappy PA but we have a good sound engineer who gets a great sound. So once people started playing there and found out what it was like, they were keen to play Trinity Sessions again. And
playing in a church also meant they could pull out some of the quieter material that may not suit a pub environment.
“And some would also be surprised we had a bar,” Roger laughs, “because it just wasn’t something they were expecting to come across in a church. And then Little Seeds Catering came on board a couple of years ago to provide light snacks.” It wasn’t too long before Trinity Sessions was hosting international performers.
“The first one was Ireland’s Brian Kennedy in October of 2003,” Roger announces. “And that came about when an interstate promoter got in touch because she was looking for somewhere different for him to perform. Brian has played Trinity Sessions a few times now.
Roger goes on to say that ticket sales are ticking along nicely for two special concerts they have lined up in July to celebrate the church’s 15 years of activity.

The first, on “I reckon having t a Sunday 16 July, Arlo Guthrie play re g f ts o “There are lo will feature The there because it’s e could local bands w Baker Suite, The just something you but kinda n se o ch e v a h Yearlings, Tara don’t ever think who had Carragher and would happen wanted those ion with ct e n n co Myles Mayo with with someone e m so e W s. n io ss e the second one on of that stature,” S Trinity r u fo t a th Sunday 30 July to he says. “So that also thought ld u o w t boast the talents was a special one h ig n r bands pe of Junior, Vincent’s and came about work best.” Chair, Dr DeSoto and after we’d had Kelly Menhennett Ralph McTell play and Roger says those there and his booking agent then local artists were chosen due to thought it would be the perfect place their long association with Trinity for Arlo to play in Adelaide.

and I have always wanted to have them play at Trinity Sessions,” he says. ‘So that’s another one crossed off the wish list. And another one we have recently crossed off that list is Liz Stringer because we have her coming up later in the year. “And we’ve got a Canadian couple called Madison Violet coming up too,” Roger says. “They played Trinity Sessions years and years ago when they were called Mad Violet and were one of our favourites, so we are really looking forward to having them back.”
Trinity Sessions at Church Of The Trinity, 318 Goodwood Rd, Clarence Pk, are celebrating their 15th birthday this year and will have a series of special concerts throughout the year with the first “Kelly Menhennett, for example, did two taking place one of her very early gigs at Trinity on Sunday 16 July Sessions supporting Patty Larkin,” and Sunday 30 July Roger says. “And Junior were Trinity from 4.30pm.

BON BUT NOT FORGOTTEN By Jakam Kourasanis In the beginning, Bon Scott snarls from the front of the stage, SM58 held to his mouth with the cord draped around his arm, Angus commanding the stage like a madman, Malcolm, Phil and Mark laying down a solid foundation groove that hits ya like a juggernaut drill aimed for your skull. That was AC/DC. The real AC/DC, before drugs, drink and death took control of Australia’s most powerful rock band. Bon Scott died in February 1980, the 19th to be exact.
It was thought that Bon had taken the future of the band with him, until parents Isa and Chick, told the boys that Bon wouldn’t have wanted them to split. Less than six months after his death, his band released the massive Back In Black album, which cemented their place in rock history. Scott’s death hit the band hard, the album was a tribute to him, and the all black cover was a sign of a band in mourning (the band’s name and album titles were embossed on first vinyl releases).
With AC/DC’s future currently uncertain, fans are eager to hear classic AC/DC played live. A lot of deeper cuts the band recorded with Bon haven’t exactly been played with Brian (there are some, yes, and Axl Rose has sung a few with the band), but these songs never gained their rightful place in AC/DC’s often predictable set-lists. These set-lists, which deter fans from buying new live releases, hardly get touched until the band releases a new album, takes out the old album’s singles, places the new album’s singles in, shuffles the order and goes out on the road and tours. AC/DC’s influence in rock is undeniable. Everybody from thrash metallers Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and Scott Ian (Anthrax – who has Malcolm and Angus tattooed on him), hard rockers like Slash, punk rockers Dropkick Murphys, as well as new bands who have sung the bands praises (Robert Ortiz – Escape The Fate). 26
James Morley (bassist for The Angels, 1989-92) is a lifelong AC/DC fan, and has spearheaded the Bon But Not Forgotten tours for the past six years.
James said he came up with the idea about five or six years ago. “I wanted to do something for Bon’s birthday [Sunday 9 July] and have it as big as possible,” he says.
This year’s line-up mirrors the 2011 one, albeit without guitarist Mick Adkins. The line-up has also included members of AC/ DC, The Angels, Rose Tattoo, The Poor, The Choirboys, Screaming Jets. “Most of our musos are accomplished musicians,” James, who got his start in Perth, drumming for cover bands during his teenage years, after picking them up at the age of nine, says. James says he professionally got into music at 16.
Angels albums Beyond Salvation (1989) and Red Back Fever (1991). The Poor frontman Anthony ‘Skenie; Skene is on vocals, and YouTube sensation and guitar equipment manufacturer SoloDallas is playing lead guitar.
Morley says he got Simon, Mark and everyone involved because he wanted to keep it as true to the real AC/DC as possible.
“Even with its revolving line-up, Mark’s been there most years and I’ve been there every year,” he said. “There’s only so many songs you can do, so we change the line-up around, get in other AC/DC fans, those who grew up with it, to keep it fresh and interesting. “Everyone adds their own
“There’s a few little flavour to the songs songs AC/DC too, which is good,” James never played live an says. “There’s been a lot of d a few we wan people involved, but this ted to do ourselve year is the quintessential s. line-up. I keep in touch There’ll be a few with Mark and Simon surprises ther e regularly and I see Skenie for diehard A C/DC around every time I’m fans.” in Brisbane. He’s a mad
“I kicked over to the bass, playing in bands around Perth,” he reveals. “One of James’ early bands was a covers band who played “mostly Angels, AC/DC and probably Midnight Oil.”
Around this time, The Angels were looking for a bass player. “I heard [bassist] Jim [Hilbun] was leaving, so got hold of the band and said I was interested, I got an audition, and fell in from there. Because of my old band, I knew all the songs,” he adds. Former AC/DC drummer Simon Wright (1983-89) and bassist Mark Evans (197577) are the band’s rhythm section. Wright provided the drums to the albums Fly On The Wall (1985), Who Made Who (1986), Blow Up Your Video (1988) before Chris Slade took over in late 1989. Evans played bass on the albums TNT (1975), Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976), Let There Be Rock (1977).
Former Angels’ bassist James plays rhythm guitar. Morley appeared on The
Bon Scott fan and did the first one with us with Dave Gleeson five years ago. “It’s pretty easy to get a line-up together and it’s all what we want to do. Filippo and I have been talking on-line for a couple of years and he’s the closest I’ve ever heard anybody to Angus Young and he knew how I played like Malcolm, so it was bound to come together.
“We’ll do the usual Let There Be Rock and Whole Lotta Rosie, all the hits. There’s a few songs AC/DC never played live and a few we wanted to do ourselves. There’ll be a few surprises there for diehard AC/DC fans.”
Bon But Not Forgotten will be celebrating Bon Scott’s birthday by playing the Governor Hindmarsh Hotel, 59 Port Rd, Hindmarsh, on Thursday 6 July with tickets via the venue or Oztix. Where? Governor Hindmarsh Hotel, 59 Port Rd, Hindmarsh When? Thursday 6 July Tickets: Oztix

THE MEANIES THE MEANIES By Robert Dunstan Quite legendary Melbourne band The Meanies have announced what will be their final tour for the very foreseeable future so BSide Magazine had what turned out to be a very informal chat to singer Link Meanie. “Yeah, I’m moving over to Spain and getting married,” he begins. “So who knows when The Meanies will tour again.
“I may come back at some stage and we’ll do some shows but it won’t be for some time,” he adds. Does the move also spell the end for your other band, Sun God Replica?
“Once again, who knows?” Link responds. “It will certainly make shows for either band very few and far between. But I’d like to think everything was still open and the options to do something were still there.” Link is looking forward to making his home in Spain.
“I already know a lot of people over there due to various tours,” he says. “And, obviously, through my partner. So I definitely won’t be lonely although I will miss my friends back in Australia. “My first plan for Spain is to get settled, get a bit domestic and look for a job,” Link says. “I’ll just be taking a break although I do have a bunch of new songs I’ll eventually do something with.
“The only other time I’ve ever taken a break from music was when The Meanies stopped playing in the mid ‘90s,” he adds. “And I went completely crazy for a while and had to start doing music again. So I’d imagine I’ll eventually get something happening.” Spain has always been responsive to Australian bands with Bang! Records releasing albums by The Drones, Beasts Of
Bourbon, The Scientists and more with many touring that territory.
“Impacto Records also put out the Sun God Replica album [The Devil & The Deep] in Spain,” Link also points out. “And they are great although it’s more of a hobby label.” The Meanies formed in 1988 and have since toured the world, played three Big Day Out festivals, had their songs covered by other bands on a series of singles in 2008 and are regarded by many, including Frenzal Rhomb, as influential. The Meanies now boast a long legacy and enjoyed many highlights. “Well, it has been something like 30 years,” Link laughs. “It’s all a bit of a blur really but doing things like playing with Bad Brains and getting up to sing with them a couple of times stand out.
“I had an absolute ball on that tour,” Link announces. “We were so well looked after by the organisers. The camaraderie between all the bands was just great too because they were all bands we had played with heaps of times over the years. “So they are all good friends and a good time was had by all,” he adds.
Link then announces that he was still in bed and about to put his socks on. “Sorry, where were we?” he then asks when his mission is accomplished.
I’ve forgotten as I had an image of you putting your socks on and then thought of something a young Elvis Presely once said. Asked if stardom had changed him at all, Elvis responded by saying that he still had to put his pants on one leg at a time.
“It’s all a bit o f a blur but doing thin gs like playing with Bad Brains and ge tting up to sing with th em a couple of tim es stand out.”
“And working with [Sub-Pop producer] Conrad Uno in Seattle was great because it was the first time we’d been overseas,” he continues. “Conrad was such a relaxed, easy-going chap it was a real pleasure.”
“I guess other highlights have been playing with such a lot of great bands over the years,” Link adds. “Opening for Pearl Jam on their first Australian tour was great as we were playing to such huge crowds.” Legend has it – and it was documented in Wally Meanies’ chapter in the book Rock Reader Volume 1: Underneath The Riffs – that a young Eddie Vedder had seen The Meanies when they played in Seattle and, while out bowling with the band after the show, had asked if his group ever toured Australia, would The Meanies be along for the ride.
“That’s how the story goes,” Link responds
“Ha, is that where that saying comes from” Link asks with a laugh. “I’ve always wondered but I can now imagine Elvis saying it.”
Did I not see somewhere that The Meanies recently released a box set?
“A box set? Oh, I’d like one of those,” Link laughs. “No, we didn’t put out a box set but Poison City did re-release a lot of our stuff last year.” Link says he has too many fond memories of Adelaide to easily recall any particular highlights.
“We always have a really good time in Adelaide but I guess what sticks out most is hangin’ with the guys from Meatbeaters [Stan, Ock, Splodgie and Staf],” he announces. “I’ve had some great times with Ock at parties over the years.”

GOLD CLASS Gold Class interview by Ian Messenger Gold Class are getting a lot of love these days and that is about to mushroom with the immanent release of their sophomore album Drum. About to embark on their first cohesive Australian tour audiences at The Grace Emily are about to witness this inspiring Melbourne quartet smashing a melodic and uniquely Australian take on UK’s post-punk and outsider literature. BSide Magazine had a good chat to frontman Adam Curley who is busy in Melbourne selling out venues like The Corner Hotel, and first I asked Curley about that old chestnut ‘influences’. I hear The Smiths in his voice but also Eddie Current Suppression Ring in the guitar, not to mention Interpol. But it is always feels rude to bring up stuff like that. “It’s always been a funny thing with this band, but obviously with any band people throw around names of stuff they think you sound like, but the whole idea behind the band in the

beginning and we’ve kept to it is that everyone is responsible for writing their own parts. We don’t really talk about what we want a song to sound like, or at the start of the band didn’t ever talk about what we wanted the band to sound like. . . I know that we get lot’s of UK stuff which is fine but definitely everyone in the band listens to far more Australian music than anything else. I mean I go and see my friend’s bands play and that’s about it, really,” laughs Curley.
than a music background. And I don’t play anything in the band so the words are sort of all that I have to work with. I guess in terms of thinking about the album as an album and not just a collection of songs that didn’t fit together, it’s more about the words and the themes and how they all work together and what I wanted the album to do thematically – yeah probably drawing more from books than music,” agrees Curley.
Drum is a very pared down, gritty I asked Curley about recording with his press statement production “I wanted it to be regarding the new album values more a Drum: “I wanted it to be akin to DIY record of defian ce, a record of defiance, a or those a resistance to th e resistance to the idea of unembellished idea of scramblin g scrambling for a place at Joy Division for a place at a ta a table that wasn’t set albums. I ble that wasn’t set fo for you. A sort of a love wondered if r letter to anyone who Curley had you. A sort of a lo ve not only can’t meet the a take on letter to anyone w ho standard but doesn’t this style of not only can’t m eet want to.” This position production the standard bu that informs his art as compared to the t doesn’t want to.” lyricist and singer of over-produced, Gold Class reminded highly layered, me of outsider fairy floss literature such as that offerings of so of Nietzsche, Kerouac and Bukowski. many small indie bands in Australia these days. “I’ve definitely read all of those people in the past,” laughs Curley. “I kind of “Yeah I don’t know, I don’t have much come from more a writing background of a take on it. I get surprised at
how much we get called a heavy band or a punk band. To me it’s all pretty melodic, and I think it just comes down to the fact that so much of the stuff that gets played on the radio is over-layered and built up production-wise. “For us it’s more of the fact it’s four of us, and a lot of our songwriting is about working with space and building songs out of not just noise but also the space between instruments.”
don’t want to bombard people with stuff they haven’t heard before, so it’s nice to do a half-half set I think.”
Drone’s legend Gareth Liddiard recorded Drum, which may be a surprise to some of us because he has only ever recorded his own band before and is not known as a go-to man
After recently selling out the Corner Hotel I asked Curley what the response generally has been for their live shows lately in Australia.
“In Australia it’s been good. I mean it’s kinda always been good. The thing is we haven’t really toured that much in Australia. By the time people were paying attention to our last record we’d already done a lot of trips around and played shows and we never played a cohesive tour of Australia so this one coming up is really our first one.
“We haven’t been to Brisbane in over a year and we haven’t been to Adelaide in probably the same amount of time,” he laughs. “Melbourne’s always been good but that’s partly because we built stuff up here from the very beginning, from playing to absolutely no one to shows selling out and stuff which is awesome. We get messages from people all the time asking us to come so hopefully the tour goes alright.”
It’s You was their great debut album that got a lot of respect I think for its genuineness and lack of artifice. Drum, which is a maturity of the band’s sound and certain to raise them to a new level of publicity isn’t due for release until August 18. What are audiences expected to hear on this upcoming tour of the Drum’s single Twist In The Dark? “Yeah we’re doing about half-half at the moment. We’ve played the old songs for a pretty long time but actually they’re working really well with the new stuff so it’s nice to mix it up. We
“It was really nice and he’s bit of a musical genius and a nice person to have around, and half the time he’d spend watching memes on his phone that he’s found on the internet of you know, like goats chasing each other,” laughs Curley.
Gold Class talk of dualities such as submission and authority; and repetition and propulsion. Their music is very embedded with conflict and tension, and I asked Curley if this was an idea or a vision from the start, or simply what naturally progressed out of the act of playing music. “I think it’s hard to say whether it happens naturally or not,” considers Curley. “I have an idea that everyone in the band is interested in that musically, and interested in creating tension in the music, and then also interested in writing songs in a way that then release the tension in some way, like in a chorus or something.
for producing. I asked Curley how things went getting Liddiard in recording a Gold Class album.
“It was good. He got kinda recommended to us from a friend when we were thinking about producers and we certainly wouldn’t have thought of him for the fact that he hadn’t worked with any other bands besides from The Drones. We didn’t know that it was an option. “But he was really interested in us and came and watched us practice a few times, recorded some demos, and so when we got to the studio he had a bunch of ideas already formed and how we would record some songs and what sounds we could add or what changes we could make to make it more interesting. “That’s why we thought it would be good to work with him because we knew he would be full of ideas and would probably push us in ways that were more interesting than just recording the songs live as they were. . . he was really awesome about it and was a real champion of the record from the very beginning.
“And lyrically I’m definitely interested in the push and pull of things. You know, in the world things aren’t ever one way or another way, nothing is black and white and often things that feel bad for you are also sort of an outlet. Or you can turn stuff around from being a bad situation into something that is actually liberating, or escape is a way to seek pleasure. You know, so you are both running from things and running towards things at the same time. “The record definitely is interested in that, and maybe it’s just happenstance that those lyrical ideas have matched up with that kind of music that we write. I’m not really sure to be honest. It might just come down to the fact that we’re interested in working with each other because we’re all interested in those thoughts and ideas and that kind of music.”
