About this site
This site is an attempt to provide a permanent record of Australian bands, musicians, recordings and technical crew no matter what the musical genre. It will have a bias towards Rock and Pop in the beginning but eventually we would like to highlight Aussie music of all types.
We gratefully accept contributions directly from Bands and Muso’s so if you want yourself or your band listed just let us know. Similarly, if you spot something on our site that is not accurate, please let us know and we will correct it.

Chantoozies!
I was hoping someone could provide details about the 1983 Ash Wednesday appeal concert, date/line up/location etc
The Prefects were a band that I worked for as a sound engineer about 1983/4 I can’t seem to find much about them anywhere. They had at least one single that made it onto the charts
In early 1971 I attended a concert at Paddington which featured among other artists a group which my (faulty) recollection tells me was called Heart n Soul.
The band had a hit which I think was called Lazy Life. The band had 8 – 10 members (a big band!)
Any help to locate information on this band – and even point me to a copy of that song, would be very gratefully received.
Best wishes,
Martin
Gees that’s a drag. Whilst engagaging and pertaking in the sounds of the era I am visciously thrust into silence and to text screen that presents like a navigational index when I navigate within your site.
Bit of a mood breaker me thinks—–
Sorry I seem to be a bit opinonated, and unshakable personality trait I guess. Still love the site but might take a bit of work to fully engage with your site.
Oops there is another inescapable trait “Lazy”
I know a bit about music from the 1980’s to the late 90’s if your interested. I’m actually writing a blog with my favourite bands from A to Z and when I’m ready to share the information I’ll email you a link.
For the my blog A to Z I’m looking for information on a band (from Melbourne) called Flotsam Jetsam (not the thrash metal band of the same name). I think they were from Melbourne but I could be wrong, sometime between 1982 and 1990 at a guess and also information on a Sydney band called Kam Sha. If you can help please contact me via Twitter. Many thanks, Karen
Dear Karen,
The Flotsam Jetsam your looking for can be found at a radio station called JJJ.The man your looking for adopted a new role away from music to subsequent his income. He’s either Jay or the Doctor. Give them a ring.
Hi Karen/Hilton,
Flotsam Jetsam were a Sydney band around in the late eighties (and so far too long ago for either Jay or the Doctor to have been members). I’ve just grabbed my vinyl copy of “Power” which featured Terry Serio and the band members were: Stephen Ferris, Nick Ferris, Tony Gilbert, John Swanton, Peter Ciobo and Ashley Cadell.
Love your site. I’ve recently started a Facebook group ’80s Oz Rock’ in a similar vein to your own site and I’ve looking for like-minded people to join in. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=286689442996
