Included
in this edition:
KISS
AND THE MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
- It wasn't the first
time a rock band had shared a stage with
classically trained musicians, but the
teaming of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
with American rock legends Kiss at Melbourne's
Telstra Dome in February 2003 had to
be the most mutually satisfying for all
involved.
SPEEDSTAR
- Maybe
it has something to do with Brisbane's
water supply? The sunshine city just
keeps offering up bands featuring amazingly
talented musicians. One of them, Speedstar,
has just released their new album "Forget
the Sun, Just Hold On", a disc which
saw band members eagerly volunteering
to lay down tracks, no matter which specific
instrumental skill the producer was looking
for.
ESKIMO
JOE - Eskimo
Joe know how to construct a pop song.
Seamless tunes featuring luscious melodies
and unforgettable hooks flow with ease
from their second album "A Song
Is A City". Australian Musician's
Greg Phillips recently spoke to main
songwriter, vocalist and bass player
Kav Temperley about how it all came together.
TROY
CASSAR DALEY - Troy
Cassar Daley has plenty to talk about.
Since he last spoke with this magazine,
he has joined a new record company, employed
new management, had a TCD signature model
guitar released by Takamine, and most
importantly, become a father. He's also
just released another album.
MOOG's
50th ANNIVERSARY BASH
- "In 1954 Bob Moog put together
the first synthesizer as we have come
to understand them today. (Thus 2004
being the 50th anniversary). Bob Moog
is also 75 this year." Rick Wakeman
reports exclusively for Australian Musician!

daunting journey for women than their
