Crumbled by Little Quirks
Awesome Aussie Songs
11/24/20 • 30 min
Little Quirks are an indie folk-rock band from the Central Coast of NSW. We take a look at their song Crumbled.
Apart from creating catchy music, and their energised live shows, what originally stood Little Quirks out from the crowd was their young age and also the fact the group is made up entirely of family members. Sisters Abbey and Mia Toole and their cousins Jaymi and Alex.
They first kicked off in their original line up in 2015 when guitarist Abby was aged 12, Jamie on mandolin was 15, with the band’s drummer, Mia, was aged just 9 years old.

Livin’ Lovin’ Wreck by Dig Richards & The R’Jays
Awesome Aussie Songs
09/16/20 • 35 min
In the early days of Rock 'n' Roll, Dig Richards & the R'Jays were one of the biggest bands in the land.
With his movie-star good looks, Dig was Australia's very first teenage idol, and with his band the R'Jays, they were at the forefront of the Rock 'n' Roll revolution in in Australia.
They were the first Aussie band to release a full-length album through Festival Records and as a live act, they were as popular as any local band. They even had their own television show on Channel 7 twice a week called Teen Time.
Sadly, Dig died in 1983, he was just 42-years-old. however, his musical legacy lives on and we hope this episode pays tribute to his contribution to Australian music. He went onto have a successful solo career recording as Digby Richards and we will release an episode on his solo career in the near future.
Our special guests are the R’Jays drummer Leon Issackson and Digs brother, Doug Richards.
Leon has written a fantastic book with fellow R’Jay Jon Hayton, it’s called Behind The Rock and is the most authentic history of the pioneering days of the music business in Australia.

Pride / 20 Miles / Fool Fool Fool by Ray Brown & The Whispers
Awesome Aussie Songs
07/05/24 • 47 min
In the Mid 1960’s Ray Brown and The Whispers were as big as any other band in Australia. Their popularity rivalled that of Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs and The Easybeats.
Incredibly the bands first three singles went straight to the top, going all the way to number 1 on the Sydney charts. The bands fourth single reached number 2.
They may not hold the reverence as a band that they once did, however, for many fans of the day, Ray Brown and The Whispers are still regarded as one of our finest bands of the time.
Thanks to The Whispers guitarist Lawrie Barclay for the use of his memoirs for this episode and thank you to Dean Mackin for providing the voice of Lawrie.

The Ted Mulry Gang were one of Australia's most popular bands throughout the 1970's.
Best known for their classic song Jump in my Car, the Ted Mulry Gang had 10 hit singles, as well as 4 albums making the charts. In terms of popularity as a band, TMG stood alongside contemporaries such as Sherbert, Skyhooks and they often had a young AC/DC along for the ride as their support band.
I sat down with Ted's younger brother Steve and we had a great chat about Ted and his days as the leader of the Ted Mulry Gang.
Sadly Ted passed away in 2001, aged just 53, however, the music of TMG still lives on!
