Choirboys....
The name CHOIRBOYS is synonymous with great Pub Rock, their unique style and sound has positioned them alongside the greats of Australian rock during their 28 year reign. Mark Gable, Choirboys front man and songwriter reflects on his bands legacy with amusement, but without apology. The pub fridge metaphor is apt for the Choirboys. Theyve practically lived and dreamt in its glow since 1979. Shoulder to shoulder with Cold Chisel, Rose Tattoo and the Angels they helped define the anthemic Oz Rock tradition of the 80s and beyond.....
Run to ..Paradise.., Boys Will Be Boys and Never Gonna Die are fair dinkum rock classics, only a bracing shower could rinse off a lifetime of pub sweat from their pores. This band cut its teeth on the same Australian storytelling tradition as Chisel and Australian Crawl.....
....
ACCA ....DACCA........
ACCA/DACCA was formed in ..Brisbane.. ....Australia.... in 2000 by Larry Attard [Bon/Brian.] Larry grew up with AC/DC and had a great deal of admiration for AC/DC. Larrys voice is uncannily similar to Bons and he belts out the late great front mans material with ease. At one stage in the early 80s it was thought Angus and Malcolm were considering Larry for the job after being spotted at a Snake gig [Larrys originals band] in ....Sydney..... Larry was also called into Alberts studios to meet with George Young and Harry Vander however for whatever reason it did not come to fruition. If you ask Larry he will tell you that forming such a band was the last thing on his mind however with persuasion from fellow musos and promoters the decision was made, With amazing results!....
....
Mat Rath [Angus] was almost born for this part with those distinctive knobby knees and repeat offender looks. In full uniform Mat rules the stage like the wayward schoolboy himself. Mat rips out Angus solos note for note and would defy even the hardest of critics to find a difference.....
....
The back line is phenomenal with Mick Bristow[Malcolm] stabilizing the foundations with that hard hitting, heavy guitar sound we all know is AC/DC. Bass playing is superbly done by Shane Fleury [Cliff] and drumming is pounded out from Damon Syme [Phil Rudd] Together with 15,000 watts of sound and light show ACCA/DACCA looks, acts and most importantly sounds like ....AC.. ..DC.........
....
ACCA/DACCA tours constantly not only throughout ..Australia.. but ....New Zealand.... has now been conquered with rave reviews from local press. UK AND US tours are now being negotiated as well.....
....
The ACCA/DACCA show goes for a full earth shattering 2 hours 15 mins non stop where the punters are taken on a one way ride through such classics as Dirty Deeds, T.N.T, Highway to Hell, The Jack, Rosie, Let There Be Rock and a mountain of other AC/DC hits.....
....
Brian Johnson fans wont be disappointed as the ACCA/DACCA set also contains hits such as Thunderstruck, Shook Me All Night Long and a selection of other Brian Johnson classics, Larry can also pull these off with ease.....
....
When ACCA/DACCA supported Jimmy Barnes, Jimmy went out for his encore and he took our singer Larry Attard out to sing Goodbye Astrid with him. Quite a thrill for us and quite an endorsement from the man himself. Bottom line is this is not a show; it is an experience, something you owe yourself to see.....
....
Kevin Borich Express....
....
With a professional career spanning 40 years, Kevin Borich has done it all. Beginning with the LA- DE- DAS in ..New Zealand.., writing the classic hit Gonna See My Baby Tonight, to his KEVIN BORICH EXPRESS and The PARTY BOYS, Kevin has performed at some of the biggest Rock events ....Australia.... has seen.....
....
SUNBURY and the ROCKARENAS in the 70s [were you there?] with 60,000 people, featuring FLEETWOOD MAC, SANTANA (with whom he was invited onstage to play with) and THE LITTLE RIVER BAND. New Years Eves at the Sydney Opera House with 170,000 people, telecast live, nationally and internationally to ....Japan...., at that time, a first! Numerous support shows for international acts, ELTON JOHN, STATUS QUO, JEFF BECK and BUDDY GUY to name a few.....
....
From your local to the big events, he has carved out a revered reputation in the Australian Music Industry, performing his music with a youthful exuberance, - giving extra meaning to the word LONGEVITY. Kevin has played and recorded with artists such as Renee Geyer ..Blues License - Dutch Tilders ..The Blues Had a Baby - Richard Clapton ..Prushan Blue, Joe Walsh and The Party Boys, [of which he was a founding member]. Jammed with Carlos Santana on two of his tours, also with Bo Didley, Richie Blackmore (Deep Purple), Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), John Mayall, Taj Mahal, Living Colour. Overseas tours and tours with Jimmy Barnes, Renee Geyer and Mark Hunter, have added spice to his career.....
