The story of a band formed by five young musically inexperienced mates from The Rock, a small NSW regional town in Australia, during the second half of the 1960s pop music revolution. The book charts the band’s progression from its first non-paid gig where it played the same five songs over and over because that was extent the band’s song list and chronologically moves through the next 4 years with the band ultimately being voted the best band in Wagga, NSW’s largest inland city in late 1969. At the end of the year, the last remaining original members left along with the band’s connection to The Rock.
The bands popularity and it’s rise from a small town needed to be documented for local historical recognition. The book contains photos and articles, a gig guide over the 4 years and a section on a successful 40year band reunion in 2005 which attracted nearly 1000 punters from all over Australia and the equally successful follow-up reunion ín 2007, both which raised funds for an aged care facility in the band’s hometown.
If you were a member of a band in the 1960s, or were part of the 1960s music revolution, this story will bring back memories!
