Compared to how it was in the 80's, any more than one gig in a row is a "Tour" these days! So with 3 gigs this weekend, we are officially on tour ... Lets call it "The North Coast Tour" then (so inventive and catchy!)

Over the years, the Rads have done many, many gigs in this delightful area of NSW, but as the locals have kept reminding us via Facebook and our website.... It's been ages ..and when are you guys bloody coming back?

We're pleased to report we are heading your way for gigs at South West Rocks Country Club on Friday, Grafton District Services Club on Saturday night and Ballina Seagulls Rugby League Football Club Sunday evening.

So it's back into the Tarago for us and up the old Pacific Highway once again.

We are really looking forward to connecting up with all of our supporters and friends from those areas and hoping that we get a good roll up at all of our shows!

We are ready to rip and tear ..as we always try to do. Catch you soon folks, cheers from The Radiators. ... See MoreSee Less

#tbt Who's Next - THE WHO

This is this album that changed my life and I can't live without it.

In fact, I have it with me now as I sit at the airport writing this and I'll probably listen to it on the flight to Townsville today. This album has it all for me - Keith Moon was my first drumming hero and his playing on "Who's Next" was magnificent - pure excitement - never safe and always on the edge - the way rock n roll is meant to be played.

Townsend's guitar playing on this was monumental to me as well and was the album that influenced my guitar playing the most (as seen in the DDs)

As the other lads threw a couple extras here's mine:

Drummin man - Gene Krupa .. Very very close 2nd - just listen to it - "It's the Shit" - there is a single and album of that title!

Electric - the Cult - the best album of the 80s for me!

There's dozens of records that have been big to me for various reasons, whether it's influencing my playing or from a great period of life! There's so many more I could list that I love....

Till next time

Friday night found us on the Sunshine Coast, well not much sunshine this time. After battling traffic jams and accidents that made Sydney peak hour look like a country town, we eventually made it to the Noosa Country Show. Being an outdoor event, of course it started to rain...We were under cover so the band was ok, but it did dampen things a little with the bulk of the crowd cramming undercover in the bar area. Still, it turned out alright with the showers subsiding and a few punters hitting the grass "dancefloor" and making a gig of it.

The showgrounds are actually in a beautiful little town called Pomona and so in honour, we did a little version of "My Pomona" to the tune of "My Sharona" which the crowd appreciated. We had a fun night (plenty of local hospitality)..but retired early to ensure we didn't miss the flight back to Sydney in the morning!

Saturday night saw The Rads back out at Campbelltown RSL Club for the first time in ages. We were worried that the folks out there would have forgotten about us by now. How wrong we were! It was a top night with a really good crowd turning up at the RSL club and making us feel really welcome. Plenty of smiling faces and newly acquired Rads t-shirts on display amongst a really great bunch of people. Thanks to all for sharing your Saturday night with us. We had a great time and the energy in the room gave us a lift. We've gotta get out to Campbelltown ( or as we christened it last night" Campbellcity")..more often!

Until next time, cheers and beers, The Radiators. ... See MoreSee Less

We are heading to the airport again for a gig in Qld tonight. The band is playing at the annual Noosa Country Show​ and it should be interesting to say the least. Plenty of clowns and fireworks .. (and thats just The Rads)!! This is our first time there and we're looking forward to a big crowd of show-goers keen for a sample bag of Radiator tunes.

We fly back tomorrow and then head out to Campbelltown RSL Club We haven't been there for ages so naturally we are hoping for a great crowd. Apparently the advertising hasn't been what it should with a few locals saying they had no idea we were playing. That's a big doh!

So any of you guys reading this and you know people out Campbelltown way, please put out the Rad Alert! Its always much more fun playing to a crowd. Regardless, we will be fired up and ready to rock as usual.

Cheers and beers, the Rads. ... See MoreSee Less
