The
wheels on the bus go round and round...
Pacific
Heights - Intro and exit
by Baby Langston from
their acclaimed 1998
album.
Solid
Rock - Goanna, off their 1982 album Spirit of Place.
Tender
Like A Bruise - Billed as Snarski Vs. Snarski, bothers Mark and Rob
Snarski, both veterans of several popular groups, released the album
Waiting For the Bell in October 2024.
Such
A Bore - Rebecca Barnard from her 2006 album Fortified.
Our
first battle of the bands for 2025
features Marcus Hook Roll Band
and AC/DC. Admittedly it's not much of a battle, seeing as how Marcus
Hook Roll Band is
Harry Vanda and George Young of the Easybeats, plus George's brothers
Malcolm and Angus, who were in the process of launching their own
band AC/DC, with Vanda and Young producing.
I found this quote from George: "All of a sudden the kid
brothers were still the kid brothers... but my God, they knew how to
play. There was no sort of, 'Do they have it or don't they have it?'
It was obvious that they had something."
Round
1
Moonshine
Blues, from the only Marcus
Hook album, Tales of Old
Grand-Daddy, from 1973. Stick Around, off the AC/DC
album High Voltage,
the 1975
Australian release, not
the US 1976 version.
Round

Goodbye
Jane - Marcus Hook Roll Band

Living
In the 1970s - the title track to their 1974 debut LP.

Says - Courtney Barnett, from 2013, her album The

Better
Days - Guitarist, singer, producer, arranger Steve Connolly featured
on many of Paul Kelly's best songs. He made his own album in 1999 but
it wasn't quite finished before his life was tragically cut short;
the songs were rescued and released as Steve Connolly and the Usual
Suspects in 2018.
