 Wild About You!
|
Various Artists Wild About You WR005 Wild Sounds, car crashes, pep pills, exploding amps, bloodied noses, jealous boyfriends, drug busts and arrests! All these and more were just regular facts of life for the average Australian Rhythm and Blues band of the mid 1960s. Despite these obstacles, or perhaps because of them, a number of home-grown acts came to epitomise the down and dirty sound and attitude of Antipodean Garage Rock, a style that continues to inspire to this day. The Wild About You! CD, Book, exhibition and launch documents and celebrates the music and styles of the past whilst highlighting the efforts of Melbourne's latter day garage rockers. Released in conjunction with Unstable Ape Recordings (UAR035) to benefit 3CR Community Radio - 855am.
