Rose Tattoo

Em 1976, Peter Wells, baixista dos Buffalo, decide formar uma banda de street rock'n'roll. As condições para os candidatos entrarem pra banda eram suis generis: ter tatuagens, cabelo curto, camisetas pretas lisas e, se a isto se juntasse uma ficha policial melhor ainda. A ele se juntou Angry Anderson, ex-Buster Brown, que reunia os requisitos e ainda por cima cantava bem.

Influenciados pelo Rolling Stones e pelo Small Faces, o grupo estreiou ao vivo na passagem desse ano e pouco depois assinavam pela Albert Productions por indicação do AC/DC. Em 1977 gravam o primeiro single, "Bad Boy for Love", produzido por Harry Vanda e George Young, sendo este ultimo irmao de Malcolm Young e Angus Young dos AC/DC.

Em 1978 seu álbum de estréia, homonimo, que entretanto foi batizado de Rock'n'Roll Outlaw, título de uma das suas músicas mais conhecidas e a melhor definição para o seu som. Os anos seguintes foram passados na estrada, até que em 1981 o grupo regressa à Sydney para gravar Assault and Battery, seu segundo álbum.

No ano seguinte o grupo lança Scarred for Life e excursiona com o ZZ Top e o Aerosmith e após a turnê a banda se desfaz. Angry Anderson reune novos integrantes e grava Southern Stars em 1984 e Beats From a Single Drum em 1986 e pouco depois tambem ele decide deixar a música para se dedicar à outras áreas.

Em 1993 os americanos Guns and Roses, que tinham feito uma cover da música "Nice Boys Don't Play Rock'n'Roll" no seu disco de estreia, pedem-lhes para se reunir e fazer a primeira parte da turnê australiana e a banda volta a se reunir continuando na ativa até hoje.

Em março de 2006 morre o baixista Peter Wells. [Wikipedia]

Bread

Este post é dedicado à minha mulher, Beth, que encarnou muito quando me pegou ouvindo o The Definitive Collection ... mas pediu para gravar um CDR para ela.

Bread foi uma banda norte-americana de rock, formada em 1968, em Los Angeles, na Califórnia. O grupo foi um dos mais populares do início da década de 1970, que se notabilizou por belas composições melódicas e harmonia bem trabalhada.

O Bread foi formado em 1968, a partir do encontro entre David Gates e Jimmy Griffin. Acrescidos da presença de Robb Royer, o grupo começou a tocar nos bares de Los Angeles e contratado pela gravadora Warner/Elektra - inicialmente apenas para ser uma banda de estúdio. O baterista Mike Botts se juntou a eles em seguida.

O primeiro single da banda, "Make It With You", alcançou o primeiro lugar da parada norte-americana da Billboard, em 1970. O sucesso inesperado com o álbum "Bread", de 1969, fez com que a banda começasse a realizar apresentações ao vivo pelos Estados Unidos.

O soft-rock de fácil assimilação conquistou as paradas norte-americanas, com destaque para "If", "Everything I Own", "Baby I'm-A Want You", "Guitar Man", "infringement" e "Aubrey". Ao mesmo tempo, criou-se um choque de egos entre seus componentes Gates e Griffin. A banda iria acabar em 1973.

Três anos mais tarde, reencontraram-se para lançar um último trabalho, "Lost Without Your Love", também bem recebido pela crítica e público.

Personnel:
David Gates - vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, violin, viola, percussion
James (Jimmy) Griffin - vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion
Robb Royer - bass, guitar, flute, keyboards, percussion, backing vocals
Larry Knechtel - bass, guitar, keyboards, harmonica (replaced Royer in 1971)
Mike Botts - drums
