Oz Rock Rated

You might get a little confused when you hear Ben talking about PK in this episode, thinking he's talking about the delicious PK Gold or Peppermint chewies that you probably can't get anymore but what kind of Australian Rock n Roll podcast would this be if we sat around discussing delicious chewies all day? So we decided to tackle the other PK - Paul Kelly! And just as you can't eat a whole packet of PK Golds in one go (I've tried), we're going to cover Paul's prolific output in 3 goes!

Johnny Diesel & the Injectors 1989 self-titled debut album is so ingrained in the Oz Rock Rated boys brains that they went into this without any notes! Talk about seat of your pants podcasting! Sit back and relax, have a listen, you cant watch this week because the stupid bloody video switcher didn't save the video file the bloody stupid bloody thing.

Legendary Oz Rock band Men At Work had one really great album called Business As Usual.... now before you @ us @ozrockrated we realise they also had a second really great album called Cargo and because Two & Done is not a catchy title, we decided to do this as a two-parter. I mean, come on, it's Men At Work ffs!

If you've ever been in a band then you'll relate to these wonderful words by The Fauves singer/guitarist/songwriter Andrew 'Coxy' Cox: "We learnt more about rock ‘n’ roll in that one night than the entire preceding 20 years. We sucked piss, made eyes at the cheap football tarts and bonded like four buckets of superglue. We also learnt how to compromise, how to sell out, and how to get fucked over. There was no rider, we were underpaid and no one got laid. It was a microcosm of an entire career." If you're not already a fan of The Fauves, we 100% iron-clad guarantee you will be after you join us as we go through 12 studio albums. If you are a fan, sit back and nod your head in agreement as we do what we do here at Oz Rock Rated!

Prospect of reconciliation, memories of some funny conversation. Feel like taking a vacation, like going to the moon. I can't afford it, your mother with a bird's nest hairdo.

It's terrific fun!

This time round we delve into South Australia's finest, The Angels! Ben and Sam take you into the seedy underbelly of King's Cross and into the gambling dens and opium lounges that they've never even been to but have experienced through Doc Neeson's wonderful lyrics.
