Live At The Station Hotel (1976) - featuring The Dingoes, The Wild Beaver Band, Myriad and Saltbush

 


The Station Hotel (located in Greville Street, Prahran in inner Melbourne), which was first established in 1904, was an important part of the local live music scene during the 1970's, where it played host to some of the biggest Australian bands of that decade, including AC/DC, The Dingoes and Spectrum.

The venue was also the setting for the fabled, and extremely rare, 1976 vinyl LP, "Live At The Station Hotel" which featured performances from The Dingoes, The Wild Beaver Band, Myriad and Saltbush.

A highlight of the album is of course The Dingoes, but there's so much more on this album ..the superb songwriting skills of Carl Myriad and his band who include musos who went onto major success like guitarist Andrew Pendlebury (who went onto The Sports and a solo career) and Mark Ferrie (Models).

Also of note is the amazing twin lead guitar attack of the great Mick Elliott and John Brunell playing some superb southern boogie in the Wild Beaver Band. Mick and drummer Noel Herridge had both been in the great Sid Rump before forming Wild Beaver Band.

Finally you have Saltbush, a terrific country band featuring vocalist/guitarist Bernie O'Brien (Bobby & Laurie's Rondells, Merv Benton's Tamlas) and drummer Harold Frith (the legendary Thunderbirds).

The Soundtracks Collection - Part IV - TV Series

 




Good Guys, Bad Guys is an Australian comedy/drama TV series that screened on the Nine Network between 1997 and 1998, with a tele-movie and twenty-six episodes produced. The crime-themed show was set in Melbourne.

The program and its lead character Elvis Maginnis were written for Marcus Graham, a former star of the soap opera E Street (TV series). Maginnis is disgraced former cop, tainted by his criminal family and framed for corruption. Elvis owns "K for Kleen" drycleaning, managed by Stella Kinsella (Alison Whyte, of the ABC current affairs satire series Frontline) and Reuben Zeus who has Tourette syndrome (Travis McMahon, most recently of Last Man Standing).

Elvis's attempts at a straight life are constantly compromised by the demands of his eccentric family, while Stella's attempts at making "K-for-Kleen" turn a profit are frustrated by Elvis's soft heart.

The Soundtracks Collection - Part Three

 



Dirty Deeds is a 2002 film shot in Australia. It was directed by noted fringe director David Caesar and stars Bryan Brown, Toni Collette, Sam Neill, Sam Worthington, John Goodman and Andrew Sommerich.

Barry Ryan is a late 1960's Australian mobster who controls the Sydney gambling scene and is making huge profits from casino slot machines. His profitable venture attracts the unwanted attention of the American Mafia, who attempt to secure a piece of the action by sending in two of their henchmen: the pensive, world-weary veteran Tony and his violent, not-too-bright sidekick Sal. Ryan soon finds himself fending off the trigger-happy "yanks", outback-style, while also contending with his feisty wife, needy mistress, and a crooked cop.

Her older sister Bronwyn (Sacha Horler) is finding it difficult to adjust to married life in remote Yallaroo with her husband Brian (Tamblyn Lord) and runs away. Then, visiting American hip poet Lou (Brett Stiller) comes to town, urging all to 'seek out the light'.The younger generation embraces the challenge enthusiastically, and Leanne's neighbor Gary (Tim Draxl) and her friend Debra (Anna Torv), are drawn to Lou.
