    they were kiwis but seemed to adopt australia as a home base. they were a fantastic and progressive band and deserved world wide renown

    the late Columbus and Co are Kiwi! through and through. Columbus is a Kiwi entertainment legend and his death in November 2016 was major news here.

  10. Likewise. They got a lot of airplay here - I regret missing them on tour a few years back when they played less than an hour's drive away. I found out too late!

    Best Wishes,

    I know I'm biased, but i love Australian music so much. Hell i grew up with it as much as overseas music. And i love that non Aussies seem to get it for the most part too. Great thread Mark! Cheers.

    An utter genius and live shows that are superb - Freddie Mercury never engaged an audience as much!

    obviously i don't know you, but from some posts i've seen from you, you may like cold chisel. if it interests you to, try my turn to cry, breakfast at sweethearts, bow river and khe sahn. chisel covered a bit of territory and one song wouldn't give you much of an idea
