Cold Chisel

Cold Chisel produced the canonical example of Australian pub rock, with a string of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and they are acknowledged as one of the most popular and successful Australian groups of the period, although this success and acclaim was almost completely restricted to Australia. The band formed in Adelaide in 1973 as a heavy metal band called Orange around keyboard player Don Walker and original bassist Les Kascmarek and while hard rock remained at the core of their sound Cold Chisel displayed a remarkable versatility.

Private Life

More than one artist with that name: 1) Over on the dark side of the moon the rumours have began to swell. Jamie oozes an appetite for destruction as he plays his bass under the skies of purple rain. His uncanny yet supernatural knack on the drums struck an unheard chord building a tapestry of hysteria. Enter Renee. A jagged little pill of feminine randomness – her vocals addictively-educed with a lonely-hearts club attitude. Together under the joshua tree the duo begin to see parallel lines. Their sound the only element needed to build a bridge over troubled water.
