Sat, 03 May 2008 03:41:30 +0000

Via The Age, I’ve learned that the Freemantle Arts Centre has worked up the Bon Scott Project. About the project: The Bon Scott Project is a multi-faceted event that sees 19 artists celebrate and critique the life, the legacy, the letters and the loins of Bon Scott! Ronald Belford Scott was raised in North Fremantle before [...]

AC/DC are defintely back in action

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 03:43:43 +0000

After an extended bout of rumour mongering, word from the PR beasties that AC/DC are definitely back in the studio. Brian Johnson has also confirmed the happenings. Looks like one last hurrah.

Guess which city I’m in?

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:54:20 +0000

Yep, Melbourne. Wandered down Flinders Lane this evening to find the laneway to hell. More like the laneway to lotsa garbage bins. The laneway itself is really not that rock’n'roll. It smells (see garbage bin reference). But there are two bars in the laneway, the Alley Bar and the Cherry Bar. I believe either or [...]

Bon statue unvieled

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 09:38:20 +0000

Image from www.bonscott.com.au. About the statue: West Australian Bon Scott Fan Club president Doug Thorncroft, who pushed for almost a decade to have a permanent tribute to his Scottish-born hard rock hero, said the statue was just right. “It’s true Bon in his rock and roll singer stance. He’s giving it all to the crowd, he said. “He’s got [...]

Finally, AC/DC heading back in the studio

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 10:24:20 +0000

Yeah, sure it is another rumour but apparently it is from bassist Cliff Williams himself. The lads are hitting the studio next month! It has been eight years since their last studio album and almost 5 years since their last gig. Apparently, during the break Angus has developed a passion for the Moog synthesizer and Malcolm [...]

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 11:27:47 +0000

Another one. The story is: AC/DC will reportedly play special “secret” club gig on January 25 at Glashaus in Reinach, Switzerland. Only 400 tickets are apparently available for the concert, which is part of a short mini-tour of small venues the band is planning on undertaking at the end of the month. At least there is a [...]

The one thing I dislike about Rockwiz

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 11:58:24 +0000

I love me weekly dose of Rockwiz but there is one thing that pisses me off every week. And that is how Rockwiz’ resident master of the Telecaster, James Black, plays the Back in Black riff at the start of Million Dollar Riff section. Grab yer guitar. Angus and Malcom play open E, open D, open [...]

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 01:52:27 +0000

Over at News.com.au there is a preview of AC/DC’s Plug Me In DVD set which will be released over the coming weekend. Oh yeah, I’ll be buying the Deluxe Edition. Enjoy Bon and the boys at the Glasgow Apollo doing Rock’n'Roll Damnation.

Good news for long suffering AC/DC fans. There is life in the lads yet. First sign is the release in October of Plug Me In, a DVD set of rare live performances. Info on the two discs are below. There will be a third disc for the rabid fan or economics student needing more [...]

Bon v Brian: The science

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 23:07:20 +0000

A Canadian boffin has put one of life’s more interesting questions to the test. Who is better? Bon or Brian. The results can be found in the paper On the Efficiency of AC/DC: Bon Scott versus Brian Johnson. In this paper, we explore this issue. Since it is difficult to ascertain which vocalist was better given [...]

Could it be finally be true (for the 12th time I think)

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 10:44:00 +0000

AC/DC are heading back into the studio according to singer Brian Johnson. Bloody hell, I hope this is finally true after all the false starts. I’ve started asaving my pennies.

What about Rosie?

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 13:41:03 +0000

As much as Clapton had bored me over the past few decades, Layla is one molten classic of unrequited love. The muse behind the song, Patti Boyd, is about to release an autobiography that dishes the dirt on the Creamy, Beatlely trysts. The article then looks at other women who have inspired classic songs such a [...]

Is a simple fact check to much for the SMH?

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 11:06:44 +0000

*Sigh* The SMH bemoans that the songs being nominated for most-played work oversear are all “oldies.” There may be some merit in the argument that is places Australian music in an unfortunate worldly context. And it gave the SMH a chance to run some choice pics of Angus as Highway to Hell is one of the songs. But [...]

The Sure-Fire Midnights - Rock with noise

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 10:42:36 +0000

Stumbling around the web I’ve found these likely lasses from Perth, The Sure-Fire Midnights. Don’t be fooled by their shy, innocent demeanour. Check out the songs on their myspace page. Guess who provides the soundbite at the beginning of Lets Talk? That is all you need to know about where they are coming from. Consider the [...]
