	Pub rock (Australia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pub rock is a style of Australian rock and roll popular throughout the 1970s and 1980s and still influencing contemporary Australian music today.
		The emergence of 'pub rock' and the pub circuit in Australia was the result of several interconnected factors.
		Pub owners soon realised that providing live music (which was often free) would draw young people to pubs in large numbers, and regular rock concerts soon became a fixture at many pubs.

	Pub rock (Australia): Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		Pub rock is a term for a style of Australian rock and roll popular throughout the 1970s and 1980s and still influencing contemporary Australian music today.
		The bands that came out of this milleu played fairly straightforward rock and roll, with guitar-dominated lineups occasionally leavened with keyboard players and the like, and were mainly or exclusively male.
		Whilst it was (and still to some extent remains) a huge influence on Australia's popular music culture, few pub rock bands found success outside Australia.

		The earliest Australian musical form was the folk musics of the Australian Aborigines.
		While many Australian bands from the 1980s remained cult acts outside of Australia, some, including INXS and AC/DC, Midnight Oil and Kylie Minogue, found wide success for years, while others, like Men at Work, became one-hit wonders throughout most of the world.
		Directions in Groove from Sydney began in the early 1990s as a groove jazz (sometimes referred to as "acid jazz") outfit but towards the end of that decade had introduced elements of live drum and bass to their music.

	Hero of Waterloo
		However, to an Australian at least, one of the delights of Sydney is the age of some of its pubs.
		It was licensed as a pub in 1845, and was apparently a favourite with Red Coats (ie the English army).
		At the time of writing locals include an old pommy/australian with thick glasses, a middle aged Australian with a thick beard and a voice that seems to indicate he wishes he was a pommy in the Shakespearian age and an old aboriginal woman who takes pleasure in clearing out everyone's plates and playing the pokies.

	Rest of King Street
		During the day it tends to be somewhat of an old man's pub - people playing the pokies and sitting down, often by themselves at what seems to be the crack of dawn, to a sad, lonely beer.
		The inside of the pub isn't anything spectacular in itself, but, with a juke box, a pool table and James Squire on tap to relish, you can really make your own fun.
		In those days, the pubs of the district really were public houses - where the men went to socialise, have a beer and get out from under wives' feet.

	Cold Chisel
		Cold Chisel, a rock and roll band, produced the canonical example of Australian pub rock, with a string of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
		Featuring the songwriting of Don Walker[?], the guitar of Ian Moss[?] and the screaming vocals of Scottish immigrant Jimmy Barnes[?], the group's hard-driving rock and roll included such Australian anthems as the vietnam war song Khe Sanh, Bow River, and Saturday Night.
		Their music remains popular with many Australians today, particularly amongst working-class males born in the 1960's and 1970's for whom "Chisel" and the lead singer "Barnsey" remain cultural icons.

	Australian rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another significant Australian from this period, and one whose importance is only now beginning to be widely recognised, was the critic and journalist Lillian Roxon (1932–1973), who grew up in Brisbane but who was based in New York from 1959 until her premature death from asthma.
		Until 1975, Australian pop radio was dominated by a clique of commercial broadcasters who virtually had the field to themselves and their influence over government was such that, incredibly, no new radio licences had been issued in any Australian capital city since the prevailing industry structure had been consolidated in the early 1930s.
		One of the most popular Australian groups to emerge in this period was the classic Australian pub rock band Cold Chisel, which formed in Adelaide in 1973 and enjoyed tremendous success in Australia in the late 1970s and early 1980s, although they never managed to break into other countries.

		Image:Ac.midnightoil.jpg The "third wave" of Australian rock began in about 1970 with the last of the early 60s groups dissolving.
		By the end of the decade, artists like John Paul Young (the first Australian to have an international hit with 1978's "Love Is in the Air") were able to get on Australian radio and had developed a unique sound to Australian rock.
		Perhaps most influential of the underground scenes, however, was Australian pub rock, which began in Adelaide in the early 1970s with bands like Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil.

		Australian pub rock was, in many ways, still in its infancy, but the ruthless, hard new sound of rhythm laden blues guitars festooning with raw rock n' roll was finding its feet, and powering out of the amps of bands like AC/DC and The Angels.
		Some could make no sense of this loud hard rock band whose lead singer dressed impeccably in tuxedos and three piece suits, and who sang songs with sometimes intricate lyrics that made references to philosophers, classic literature, holidays in France, drug abuse and occasionally love.
		His previous rock experience had been playing with an Angels cover band in his hometown, and although he could play almost all of The Angels vast back catalogue, during auditions he was asked to play none.

	Martin Mathis' Angels/Angel City Page - The Angels official biography
		Pulled straight into the studio, The Angels emerged with a self titled album weeks later, and the first of what would prove to be an unmatchable string of classic Australian pub rock anthems was cut loose on the Australian public.
		A free live concert on the steps of the Sydney Opera House at the end of that year was marred by violence, and while beer bottles exploded on the stage around him, the mayor of Sydney strode on to announce that no more outdoor concerts would be held in the city.
		It spelt the end of a decade of free weekend concerts under the hot Australian summer sun, and the boom time of Australian pub rock, The Angels lead the charge.

		The self-titled debut album by Noiseworks was a slice of hard rock in the tradition of Australian pub-rock acts like the Angels, but also made use of the trends of the day, namely the Europe-style keyboards, all through this album.
		However, Noiseworks were better at straightforward rock songs: "No Lies," "Little Bit More" and the standout track from this album -- "Take Me Back" -- are three examples.
		This album saw Noiseworks gain considerable attention in Australia; it was an excellent debut from one of the better metal bands of the late 1980s.
