Witschke Rudzevecuis WHO?

BUSTER BROWN

Before everything, there was nothing. Before light, there was dark. Before someone said 'Let There Be Rock!' Someone had Something To Say. And that someone included a future feared rock'n'roll outlaw WITH hair, and a soon to be member of a legendary never ending hard rock'n'roll monster engine!

woodstockrock:

Buster Brown were a hard rock group with undoubted potential but they had the bad luck to be signed to Mushroom Records just as Skyhooks began to take the label's attention and promotion budget. The band is now remembered for the future careers of its members - Angry Anderson with Rose Tattoo and Phil Rudd with AC/DC. Buster Brown promoted their working class roots and cited The Faces as a musical influence. Something To Say was their only album and features the up-front vocals of Angry Anderson and some good guitar work by John Moon and Paul Grant. Musically the band play energetic rock and boogie with Apprentice and Something To Say showing some depth and complexity that a limited recording budget prevented being developed further.

Angry Anderson, born Gary Anderson on 5 August 1947 in Melbourne, he first came to notice as the singer with Buster Brown, a band he fronted between 1973 and 1975. Along with himself, the original line-up also featured drummer Phil Rudd, who would leave the group in 1974 to join AC/DC and also with Paul Grant as guitarist who still plays locally in Melbourne. Buster Brown released an album, Something to Say, in 1975 before disbanding the same year.

Phil Rudd, born Phillip Hugh Norman Witschke Rudzevecuis, on May 19, 1954 in Melbourne, Australia, is the drummer for Australian rock band AC/DC. He held the position from 1975 until 1983, and again from 1994 to present. After the 1977 departure of bassist Mark Evans, he became the only Australian-born member of the band.

This is NOT the re-release remastered cd with bonus tracks. It's the original vinyl. Rock on!

REGGIE KNIGHTON


Here's a good rare one. Sadly, I don't have this vinyl myself anymore, and this rip definately could've been better. But, as always, it's better to have it than NOT. His apperance on the classis double vinyl 'Music For Konnoisseurs', blogged here earlier (look in the archives) makes this an album that suits your collection. If anyone out there have this in a better condition, or even got his first solo album, please tell me where to find it!? Good one. Hope you'll like it!

TEAZE

With the amount of canadian classics blogged here lately, I felt I couldn't do a new post without ANY. Always loved Teaze. So, here's their great live album, I guess most people in here already have it. Anyway, play it LOUD!!

canadianbands.com:
'The group moved operations from Windsor to Montreal the next year and continued touring eastern & central Canada and in the US but still couldn't seem to get their 'big break' . This all changed for Teaze in the fall of 1978 when they travelled to Japan and were met with sold out stadiums and mobs at the airports. The jury is still out as to whether or not Teaze simply cashed in on rock and roll starved Japanese kids after the likes of KISS, BTO and Cheap Trick had already paved the way. Whatever the reason, the reception of Teaze in Japan was almost comparable to the reception the Beatles or Rolling Stones enjoyed in the United States. Their ten day tour of the Orient led to 1979's appropriately titled live album TOUR OF JAPAN.'

Brian Danter - vocals, bass
Mark Bradac - guitars
Chuck Price - guitars
Mike Kozak - drums

That's it for now. More later. In fact, the next blog will introduce my new co-admin of this blog. A life long friend, a great collector of the uncollectable, a living encyclopedia, and generally a partner in crime through thick and thin... as I said, more later. Much more. Rock on!

Thanks for Reggie Knighton. I only know this guy/band from this one song on the Beton-compilation (Rock 'n' roll alien). Because of that song I was looking to hear some other stuff of this guy/band.

More Teaze, Great!
Got a challenge for y'all. After Argent Split, the rest of the group formed a band called Phoenix. You or anyone else have it? I have 2 songs once again ripped from cassette. Link at bottom of post.

Rockdetector info:

Allmusic Review:
http://tinyurl.com/yupndq

"If you fancy yourself a British rock historian, Phoenix is a power trio you should know about. Not because their songs were fantastic (although they were decent), but because of who its members were. Phoenix members John Verity, Jim Rodford, and Bob Henrit were all graduates of Argent, a band that former Zombies keyboardist Rod Argent led from 1969-1976. When Argent broke up in 1976, its ex-members got into different things. Rod Argent pursued a solo career, while Rodford joined the Kinks and replaced bassist John Dalton. Phoenix wasn't a full-time gig for Verity, Rodford, and Henrit, it was merely a side project, although a noteworthy one. Not as artsy or as experimental as Argent, Phoenix provides some competent arena rock on this self-titled debut album of 1976. None of the songs are mind-blowing, but most of them are likable. With Verity on vocals and guitar, Rodford on bass and keyboards, and Henrit on drums, Phoenix gets into a fun, lighthearted groove on catchy rockers like "Try a Little Rock 'N' Roll" and "Winnebago," but is quite moody on the ballads "A Woman Like You" and "From the Ashes." Meanwhile, "I'll Be Gone" is the most bluesy offering on this LP, which didn't set the world on fire but is worth checking out if you admired the musicians' work with Argent."


Two tracks Easy/Drowning in Tears merge into one another. Good stuff, probably the best on the album

Some crappy info on Sniff 'n' The Tears fot you Aloc. If i remember right the vocalist/bandleader Paul Rodgers made all the albumcovers as he's a famous painter to. And the leadguitarist Loz Netto left the band after their 2 first albums (Fickle Heart & The Game's Up) and made an album called Loz Netto's Bazar which sucks badly, after that i have no clue where he went.

That's my 25 cents worth of info on them.
