	Daddy Cool (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daddy Cool was a 1970s Australian band (based in Melbourne), led by Ross Wilson and which became the most successful Australian rock act of their day.
		Alongside Spectrum's "I'll Be Gone", Daddy Cool's debut single became one of the keystones of the so-called "Third Wave" of Australian rock in the early Seventies.
		Daddy Cool has passed into legend as one of the icons of Australian music, and the group has been honoured both with a stamp in Australia Post's Rock'n'Roll collection, and with the voting of "Eagle Rock" as one of Australia's Top Ten Songs of All Time by ARIA in 2001.

		Daddy Cool took Australia by storm in 1971, totally out of character with everything that was happening in music both in Australia and anywhere else in the world.
		Daddy Cool toured America three times, coming back and forth to Australia to satisfy their legion of fans at home.
		The ‘new’ Daddy Cool could not get over the memories of the ‘old’ group and the arrival of the new breed of music in the shape of Skyhooks and others.

	Who's your daddy? - Music - www.theage.com.au
		Daddy Cool, with their blend of 1950s nostalgia, '70s humour and timeless, impeccable songwriting, are one of the few truly iconic bands in Australian rock'n'roll history.
		You have to wonder why a band as well-loved as Daddy Cool has waited so long to reform, and why they are limiting their reformation to just the one, non-paying gig.
		Hannaford, who began playing in bands with Wilson when he was 13 years old, and played alongside him through five bands and 10 years until Daddy Cool disbanded in 1975, seems to have resigned himself long ago to living in the shadow of his childhood friend.

		They were organized by Ross Wilson (vocals, guitar) in Melbourne-the rest of the band consisted of Ross Hunnaford and Ian Winter on guitars, Gary Young and Wayne Duncan (both veterans of the Rondells) on drums and bass, respectively, and Jerry Noone on sax and piano.
		Daddy Cool was closer to a real-life Ruben and The Jets, and with touches of unique down-under British looniness-weird headgear and propeller beanies, and a highly animated presentation that shook up the Australian concert scene.
		Daddy Cool's outtakes were compiled into an album in 1980, and their catalog has been repackaged several times for Australian CD reissues in the 1990's.

		Many of these bands toured Australia and New Zealand to wild receptions in the mid-Sixties; when The Beatles' epoch-making tour arrived in Adelaide, an estimated 300,000 people – about one-third of the city's entire population at the time – turned out to see them as their motorcade drove from the airport into the city.
		Following the punk movement several influential bands of this so-called post-punk era were The Birthday Party led by the Nick Cave formed in 1978 and disbanded in 1983.
		Detroit rock bands such as the Celibate Rifles, The Lime Spiders and The Hitmen would serve as a link between the garage rock revival of the 1980s and the grunge scene to follow.

	MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Daddy Cool
		In the beginning, Daddy Cool though was not the "main event" - it was originally intended as"light relief" during Vegetals gigs, performing a short, snappy set of '50s rock'n'roll songs between the lengthier progressive explorations of the main group.
		Daddy Cool played a gig at the Melbourne Town Hall with Tully, where they were spotted by Robie Porter.
		Daddy Cool were still packing them in around the country, but by now the inevitable stresses and strains of their success were building up and the pressures within and on the group were dividing the formerly close-knit unit.

		The world has seen plenty of 1950s revival groups, but to think of Daddy Cool as simply another Sha Na Na is to miss part of the story.
		Wilson toyed with the idea of calling the new band Sons Of The Vegetal Mother and inviting musicians based on their availability for particular performances to form a 'special occasions' band playing light-hearted rock and roll oldies.
		Wilson recruited members for the band, found a name in the title of the Big Boppers 1950s hit, and Daddy Cool was born.

	MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - Mighty Kong
		Mighty Kong was the 'supergroup' successor to the legendary Daddy Cool, which broke up in in August 1972.
		Despite its all-star lineup, culled from three of the top groups of the time, the band was shortlived and never really achieved its considerable potential, effectively relegated to being a footnote in the larger story of Daddy Cool.
		After the breakup of Daddy Cool, Wilson and Hannaford were keen to get away from DC's stylistic restrictions - the 50s repertoire, the 'zany' stage outfits - and the media's concentration of the obvious elements of Daddy Cool, which tended to obscure the more serious side of their work.

		The meeting was held in the Band Hall at 6:30 p.m.
		The bands, drill teams, cheerleaders, mascots, spirit gaurds, and all the other organizations that participate help to make it the spectacle that it is. Without them, the football would still be awesome, but the atmosphere seems emptier and less exciting, sort of like a JV game.
		If the band and drill team, and whoever else, goes then that will add to the fan base because they will be there, plus some of their parents would go too.

	Daddy Cool
		Daddy Cool played a gig at the Melbourne Town Hall with Tully, and it was there that Robie Porter spotted them.
		It was meant to be a "one-off" event, but the band was so encouraged by their reception that they decided on a semi-permanent reformation with the original members, and a series of shows during 1974-75.
		The band had not been notably successful - in fact they had been booed off the stage during their first major appearance at Sunbury earlier that year - and it was also Wilson's first major production job.

	CD Baby: ROSS WILSON: Now Listen! The Best Of Ross Wilson / 2CD
		Daddy Cool was Wilson's chance to indulge his new passion for vintage Los Angeles harmony rock'n'roll, a humourous and entertaining diversion from the serious business of advancing the horizons of rock music.
		Following the break up of Daddy Cool, Wilson unveiled the short-lived Mighty Kong, represented on the bonus disc by the cautionary 'Hard Drugs', produced the first three groundbreaking Skyhooks albums, issued his debut solo single, 'Living in the Land of Oz', and launched Mondo Rock.
		From our schoolboy band The Pink Finks (65) releasing "Louie Louie" on their own Mojo label, through the honing of songwriting skills with The Party Machine (67-69), until the rampaging Sons Of The Vegetal Mother (70) give birth to Daddy Cool at the T.F.Much Ballroom, the progression is audible & amazing.

	Character Development
		One night, just as the band was finishing up their last set at the club, Diablo and his men burst into the club set on taking over.
		I think that Big Daddy Cool mentioned once that his character presents it as trickery, but when he dons his superhero costume and becomes The Phantom, he attributes his power to more mystical sources.
		My question to Big Daddy Cool was a bit off topic but a genuine query about what he thinks and feels about the parameters of portraying a character, since he clearly has experience with a character that is drawn broadly enough to be distinct in the real world.

		Noting that the band chose its name to reflect the style of music played, Greaney says he was also influenced by a man he met years ago.
		When he'd get to the end of his story or the punchline of his joke, he would jump back and say, 'Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze is in town!' and when I heard that name, it just stuck in my mind.

		His chops on both the harmonica and sax were particularly impressive; that musical flexibility allowed him to jazz up the set, literally and figuratively.
