"HITS have been playing around Brisbane for a few years now... on and off between disasters, usually of their own making. Very compromising members of some defunct "seminal” (cheers Macka) Brisbane punk bands and some currently fabulous ones as well. Apart from our own shows we've played support to the likes of The Scientists, New Christs, Mustang, the Kelpies, the Dirtbombs, The Drones, The Stems, Legends of Motorsport and Lime Spiders as well some of the best of their city's heavy hitters such as Giants of Science, Sixfthick, Vegas Kings, Lords of Wong, New Jack Rubys, Dangermen, Horrortones, etc" from Myspace
'... the best rock and roll album to come out of Brisbane since “I’m Stranded.”'
'... this could be one of those discs we look back at in ten years time as an all time classic.'
'This is an album in a distinctive Australian tradition – it nods to the classic 1970s Albert’s sound as much as it does to the Saints (as well as the Pistols and the Dolls). The influence of Ian Rilen, not just in X mode but also early Rose Tattoo and the later Love Addicts, looms especially large. But Hunt’s style, his phrasing and humour, makes him a genuine original. I can’t compare him to anyone. I dare say that in future other Australian singers will be compared to him.'

Le groupe s'est formé en 2005 sur les cendres de quelques combos parmi les plus intéressants de la scène de Brisbane, notamment GAZOONGA ATTACK et les redoutables STRUTTER, auteurs il y a dix ans d'un putain d'album chez SAFETY PIN, le label du regretté KIKE TURMIX. On retrouve le chanteur et son grain de voix reconnaissable, entouré de deux filles aux guitares (qui assurent aussi des choeurs de toute beauté) et d'une rythmique solide. La musique s'est un peu assagie par rapport à la furia stoogienne de STRUTTER, mais les démons sont toujours là, POWDER MONKEYS, THIN LIZZY, les REPLACEMENTS, ROSE TATTOO, et ce bon vieux OZ rock comme ils le disent eux-même.

Andrew Matheson was the singer of the Hollywood Brats. He has also recorded three lp's in solo after the band's demise . "Night Of The Bastard" is the last one.
"Crushing The Doll"... Fans of the Hollywood Brats won't be disappointed with this fantastic Matheson/Steel composition. It's another classic featuring Andrew Matheson on vocals and is taken from Matheson's 1994 album "Night Of The Bastard Moon" which Casino Steel produced. A real rocker which is very reminiscent of the Hollywood Brats and the New York Dolls..."S. Metcalfe

LEGENDARY LOVERS - A Dent In The Bigtime

LEGENDARY LOVERS A Dent In The Bigtime lp 1987

Dangerous Life / I Don`t Believe / Killing Words / Never Alone / Take Me Away / Can`t Get Everything / I`m Going Down / The Letter / I Hear You Talk/ Objection Overruled / Wrong Way / Time To Time.
Produced by Legendary Lovers.
Legendary Lovers: K. Ask: vocals / M. Gustafsson: lead guitar & vocals / A. S. Wieslander: bass guitar / M. Persson: guitars & vocals / Jonas Berling: drums + L Jonsson: piano / M. Bengtsson: organ / Little Stalin: harmonica.
Legendary Lovers released the lp "A dent in the bigtime" in 1987 and followed it up with "No time to waste" in 1989 Both discs received critical acclaim and especially abroad hailed the band's ability to make pop melodies with powerful guitar riffs. Mainly influenced by the Barracudas (of "Mean Time"), the Plimsouls, and especially the (french) Dogs "A Dent In The Bigtime" is an unsung masterpiece of nervous powerpop! Don't miss it...
To my knowledge the two albums do not exist in CD format and it's a shame!

LEGENDARY LOVERS - King Of The World

LEGENDARY LOVERS King Of The World / In A Different Way 7'' 1987

Produced by M. Gustafsson.

Legendary Lovers: K.Ask: vocals / M. Gustafsson: lead guitar / M. Persson: guitar & vocals / A. S. Wieslander: bass / J. Berling: drums.
Legendary Lovers from Klippan, Sweden played their first gig in 1985. They take their name from the fourth album of the Dogs. With inspiration from bands like Plimsouls, Hoodoo Gurus, Del Lords, Television, the Ramones and of course the "french" Dogs, they started writing their own songs. At the end of 1986, their first single was in the record stores. "King of the World" became something of an underground hit with critical acclaim and allowed the band to record an entire album... to be continued

NB: "King Of The World" was included in the compilation "A Real Cool Time Revisited : Swedish Punk Rock 1982-1989" issued in 2010 by RPM Records.

EGOS - Fast Swimming

EGOS Fast Swimming cd 2004
Intro / Powerpupplay / Erratic Eviction / Sametown / Fastswimming / One 4 Me / Grey St Blues / 108 Kg / Drive U / The Year My Guitar Broke / C Me Dancin.
Mastered & mixed by Shane O'Mara
Egos: Delene:clone bass / Link: drums, vocals, Gibson LB Slide guitar / Johnny Casino: Fender Telecaster Deluxe guitar / Mad Macka: vocals, Gibson Explorer & A. Hoyer Expo accoustic guitars.
The Egos collectively hail from an impressive pedigree of bands from down under such as the Onyas, Meanies, Asteroid B612 and the Blue Heelers. They are led by Brisbane's one only Mad Macka originally from the Onyas and later to become a hired gun and permanent member of Cosmic Psychos. Link Meanie of the Meanies chips in on drums along with John Spittles ”Johnny Casino” from Asteroid B612. This is a ten track blast of pile-driving punk action released on Dropkick Records, the same Aussie label that had the smarts to put out Eddy Current Suppression Ring’s debut LP.
"Probably you've never heard of The Egos. But if I tell you they're from Australia and formed by members of legendary The Onyas, Meannies and Asteroid B-612, I'm sure you salivating like Paulov's dogs...
Place this piece of vinyl on your turntable, press play and turn up the volume until you break your neighbour's ears and remember that in Downunder they don't eat, drink, nor write r'n'r songs like anywhere else in the world..."
"A blast of pile-driving punk action from this new Melbourne band comprised of members of THE ONYAS, MEANIES, ASTEROID B-12, and BLUE HEELERS. They're old, they're fat and they are ugly-the embodiment of the garage rock revolution! Ten new songs about girls, guitars and anti-psychotics. All rock, no art-everything you've ever wanted out of an Australian rock'n'roll band."

High-energy French rock & rollers Little Bob Story came so close to proto-punk glory that

they could almost smell it. Uncompromisingly fronted by the man-mountain Bob Piazza,

but equally highlighted by the elegantly wasted scarecrow guitarist Guy George Gremy,

Little Bob Story effortlessly bridged the gulf between the hooligan R&B of Eddie & the Hot

Rods and the nihilistic adrenaline of all that was to follow. They were just a little too early,

a little too hairy (bassist Barbe Noire would have melted into the Grateful Dead), and a little

too French. Allmusic

Without mistake, one can only say what a legend Little Bob is regarding Rock'n'Roll History.

Neither success, glory, hits, airplay nor homage could ever testify enough of his contribution

to music. It all goes back to France's main northern port. A tough mother of a rain-battered

grey hole called Le Havre. Le Havre is the closest France ever gets to the look and feel of

Liverpool or New Jersey: oil terminals, super tankers, refineries, chemical plants, warehouses,

longshoremen, etc. Little Bob comes from here, and for those to whom such things matter,

Little Bob's story features all the right Rock & Roll ingredients. Bob can out mean-street

anyone.

Little Bob: vocals / G. Mallet, O. Durand, S. Hendrix & G. G. Gremy: guitars & backing vocals / N. Noël: keyboards & backing vocals / J. Drouin: keyboards / B. Couloume, F. Gehin, D. "Barbe Noire" Lelan: bass & backing vocals / N. Garotin: drums & backing vocals / V. Rebibo, M. Quertier: drums / Guests: B. Jo Scott: vocals / P. Mikaëlian: harmonica / C. Langlois: pedal steel guitar / S. Tyla: vocals / J. Buffet: guitar / J-M. Bouzonnie: backing vocals.

Bob's been at it for a while, playing every armpit France has to offer with his legendary band called Little Bob Story, Bob even ventured to England (300 gigs) attracting the "gunslingers" of British rock critics, opening" the road as he traveled it, playing all around Europe, singing on every single stage on this road from Irish pubs to Hells Angels bars, from Universities to big Festivals. Literally setting venues on fire! Touring as if the fate of the free world depended on it.

Today, Little Bob leads a new band (since 11 years), released 4 solo's albums, and his rock has changed. His music is drawing deeper into the roots of blues. A mixed up of tribal rock with burning emotion and powerful feeling.

The greatest have always considered Bob as one of their own. Recording with Steve Hunter (Mytch Ryder, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper...), Charlie Sexton (the Texas Boy Wonder), Kenny Margolis (of Mink Deville and Cracker) Dave Alvin (Blasters) and on stage with Maria McKee, Chuck E.Weiss & Benmont Tench in Holliwood, Dr Feelgood, Beverly Jo Scott & Southside Johnny in Paris, Willy DeVille & Johnny Thunder in England.

Little Bob cherishes the way of singing of classic rock and blues singers from Little Richard or Howling Wolf to Eric Burdon. Bob's got the secret magic ingredient which makes all the difference in the heart of his fans: the innocence, the fervor & the ingenuity. Bob pulls it off, never blinks, never winks, he discards the "Camp," easy way-out, gambles on the power of bare emotion, and comes out a winner. His look and tremondous voice make him unique to the audience.

Each time Little Bob's release a new album it is a good news, if anything because, as wise men say, "whenever a dreamer fulfills his dream, other dreamers ought to celebrate. Source
