WALKING WITH THIEVESWords by Jo NewmanPhoto supplied by Walking With Thieves

In 2012 fairly new to the music scene of Adelaide young original rock band Walking With Thieves take out the winning place for Northern Sound Systems Battle Of The Bands The most valuable of all the prizes was they were under the watchful eye of PJ Murton the man who also helped launch and manage Hilltop Hoods in their early days

According to guitarist Luke Busuttil ldquoPJ Murton and Northern Sound System are genuinely great people and were an instrumental part of us learning the basics of the music business They do a lot of awesome work and really care about local music I think that was the point when we started spending time with them that we started taking the band more seriously and ultimately we put ourselves on a path to continuously improve our abilitiesrdquo

In the same year Walking With Thieves also won the National Campus Band Competition which showcased over 252 Acts from 37 Institutions around the country This competition has seen known bands such as Eskimo Joe Jebediah and Vasko Era progress to internationalnational success Walking With Thieves were the third band from SA to have won this competition winning $8000 worth of prizes including some valuable recording time which in 2013 they spent at Chapel Lane Studios alongside engineer Gabriel Agostino recording their debut EP ldquoWhatrsquos Left of Your Headrdquo

That was 2 years ago and here we are tonight at the launch party for their newest single ldquoTake The Dark Wayrdquo which was recorded at Blackhaus Studios with Mike Sinclair and Matt Cooper The single was released on October 2nd this year and is now available via iTunes Spotify and other outlets

I got to chat to the guys just before they were due on stage

Jo Where did this all begin

Luke This all began with Dillon on bass and myself on guitar after high school We wanted to form a band so we brought Randell in who was an old friend of Dillons and a classmate of mine Then we started the long road of finding a drummer and a singer - we went through many of both and finally landed on these two scrubs (says jokingly)

Dillon We took awhile we wanted to make sure we found the right guys so we had quite a few people come and go

Jo What was it that clinched the deal that these were the right guys

Dillon Obviously first and foremost it was actual ability watching them play Once you were in a room with these guys we knew we just felt it

Jo Have any of you been involved in other musical projects

Luke Most of us had been in a band before Walking With Thieves during and just out of High School but this has been the first serious band for all of us and we have managed to

ldquoMy ultimate gig would be to play a major European festival like Reading or Download Festivalrdquo

keep the same members from the beginning

Jo Musical Influences

Cam (Vocalist) - I grew up with 70rsquos and 80rsquos rock The 3 singers Irsquom most influenced by are Thom Yorke from Radiohead Maynard James Keenan from Tool and Ian Kenny from Karnivool

Dillon (Bass) - Irsquom very much influenced by glam like Guns And Roses and Motley Crue

Luke (Guitar) - My Influences learning guitar early on was Slash and Joe Satriani

Randell (Guitar) - For me itrsquos Macedon and The Melvins I grew up with bands like Tool and Led Zep I like a cross between rock metal and psychedelia

Jesse I play drums and my influences are Chad Smith from Chilli Peppers and I listened to a lot of A System of The Down I like heavier simpler style of metal

Jo Any brushes with fame musically

Luke We supported the Angels in 2012 and were lucky enough to have John Brewster come out to a studio session and give us feedback and advice on our songwriting

Dillon Yeah meeting John Brewster from the Angels was incredibly cool Though I missed a chance to catch Dave Gleeson before a show that we played together when Dave started singing in The Angels

Jo Where to now for the band

Luke Interstate touring We are playing a couple of gigs in November in Victoria - Grumpys in Fitzroy and Megastore in Bendigo - further time in the studio recording another EP and playing more shows

Jo As a band what would be the most ultimate gig

Jesse The most ultimate gig would probably be a show packing out Adelaide Oval

Dillon Ultimate gig for me personally would be any sort of big show or festival that holds special meaning to Australians Playing a festival like Big Day Out (although it is currently defunct) one that is held close to peoplersquos hearts as an iconic musical event in our country

Luke From the beginning we have said Soundwave would be an amazing gig milestone My ultimate gig would be to play a major European festival like Reading or Download Festival

The Thieves style of music can be described as Emotive Rock songs with depth and meaning My personal favourites are Renaissance and Guillotine and Cannon always gets the crowd going

Do yourselves a favour and visit the website have a listen and even write a review and better yet see them live You will not be disappointed

ADAM COCCA

Adam Cocca has been on the Adelaide music scene for over 3 decades and has played with many people He is a rare find that can play almost anything and sing as well hellip plus a really good guy I decided since he was visiting me that I would interview him Meet Adam hellip

Deb At what age did you dabble in music

Adam As a child I always had an affinity with guitar and I used to make out I could play guitar with frying pans and broomsticks I even had a kid size electric toy guitar hellip but I couldnrsquot play it back then I would have been about 8 or 9 years old

Deb Were you influenced by anyone to play music When did you start taking it seriously

Adam No I just saw it on tv and wanted to do it I listened to ACDC records Beatles hellip stuff like that and just wanted to play along to it I learned the long hard road by trial and error I learned to play lead guitar better than I could play chords because I found it really easy I pretty much learned to play because at that time I wanted to write music Once I realised I was pretty good at it I started to jam with anyone I had confidence in the rehearsal room but no confidence to perform on stage I remember Lisa Vasey asked me to jam at a hotel but I didnrsquot go hellip she said to me ldquowhen yoursquore ready yoursquoll knowrdquo And thatrsquos how it was Itrsquos just very natural for me to play

Deb Did you ever have guitar lessons

Adam I taught myself how to play guitar I didnrsquot even know how to tune it so I made up my own tuning I didnrsquot learn properly until later on To this day I have still never had a guitar lesson In the early days I just used to go to Custom Music and watch everybody and

listen and learn and then go home and practice 8 hours a day

Deb What was your first big gig

Adam Opening for Jimmy Barnes and Swanee at the Bridgeway hotel about rsquo84rsquo85 It was 5 nights sold out which was pretty cool

Adam That was with Woodstock with Harry Kerylidis on vocals Cos on bass and Mark Potter on drums We wrote originals but played covers our way as well It was just hard edge rock and roll pretty much Woodstock went all around Australia touring supporting acts like Swanee Moving Pictures John Mayall Blues Band etc We also played a lot of

Words by Deb Brunotte As a child I always had an affinity with guitar and I used to make out I could play guitar with frying pans and broomsticks

festivals back then

Deb What other bands have you played with

Adam I played with an original band called Third Wish with the rhythm section from Woodstock We wrote and recorded songs and released a single ldquoGive Me Good Lovingrdquo and ldquoWhat Your Loving Man Can Dordquo That was on vinyl Then Thoroughly Good Party Band played a lot of gigs around town in the 90rsquos The Front Page was pretty cool Then I was asked to join High Voltage and spent five years with them They went everywhere man hellip they were good days It was awesome they treated us like rock stars After that I had a 3 piece covers band called Bongo Boogie They were good players and that was fun too Irsquove jammed with many musos since then including Dino Jag

Deb I know you did a lot of solo work and also some duo stuff hellip but you gave up music for many years Why was that

Adam I was worn out I played so much I was just worn out I just stopped I got very depressed and was diagnosed with depression I spent the next 7 years not playing music

Deb How was that working for you

Adam Not real good Thatrsquos when I started talking to youhellip you idiot Lol So I went around and saw you and that was it hellip did a gig with Acoustic Blonde no rehearsals and bang itrsquos always been like that I realised that not playing music was making me depressed Deb I hope you donrsquot mind me asking this You have vision impairment How much vision do you have and has it affected your music or performances in any way You must have a very good ear and memory to be able to play as many songs as you do all by ear

Adam I have less than ten percent vision Itrsquos been like that for a long time so I donrsquot think it affects me It doesnrsquot affect my playing hellip more likely to trip over a microphone lead or something or fall off a stage Irsquove done that Haha When I was with High Voltage we had this little roadie guy called Flea and he would always look out for me We were at Ponde

with High Voltage and I walked out onto the speaker stacks out front of the stage and he was screaming at me to get back on the stage in case I fell off the speakers and I got stuck out there He had to help me get back on the stage haha Yeah never did that again man I donrsquot read music itrsquos all to ear I have a naturally good ear and my hearing is a lot sharper so I hear the notes in my head without even playing them

Deb Who are your favourite influences

Adam My favourite influences hmmm hellip when I was younger I loved the guys from Status Quo ACDC obviously Ian Moss Mick Ralph from Bad Company There are so many great players to choose from Irsquove taken something from all of them and now I just play my own stuff the way I wanna play it and thatrsquos working for me I love Zeppelin and players like Satriani and early Gary Moore

Deb What guitars do you play

Adam When I play acoustic I use mini Matons I love those guitars they sound great On electric I use a Gibson Les Paul through a BlackStar S145 Itrsquos great rock and roll sound manhellipthatrsquos what it is Irsquove got a Fender Strat that I never play that I bought in about 2013 Donrsquot know why I bought that one I like playing the white Gibson Les Paul Studio too

Deb Not only are you a great guitarist you also sing great lead and backing vocals Did you ever learn singing

Adam For a short time I went to see a singing teacher and then I just stopped It wasnrsquot for me I found my own way with that as well I found that pretty natural as well I always sang for as long as I can remember I wasnrsquot always good though That took a while I had no confidence and never thought I was any good so it took a while to be comfortable with my voice I still donrsquot really like hearing myself on recordings

Deb Where are you at now and what do you vision yourself doing in the future

Adam Irsquom in a great place at the moment


12

Enjoying playing music and just loving life What do I want to do in the future Just to continue what Irsquom enjoying doing now and look forward to what the future brings with the music hellip and the next gig Gotta live for the gigs

Deb How do you source most of your gigs Do you use an agent

Adam Pretty much most of gigs are booked direct Through word of mouth seems to be the thing If you do a good job you get work These days people ring us for gigs and itrsquos a good feeling

Deb Do you do anything other than music

Adam Music is pretty much my life

Deb What is the best advice you were ever given

Adam Donrsquot worry about anyone else just do what you want to do That was from my mate Dino Jag Plus something you told me once hellip Remember Who You Are

Deb What hidden talents do you have

Adam Irsquom pretty good in the kitchen I can do a good Elmer Fud Irsquom good at doing funny cartoon drawings of my friends Irsquom not sure Yoursquod have to ask my girlfriend about the rest Haha

Deb Well Adam this has been very entertaining Thank you for your time Is there anything you would like to say to sign off with

ZKYEWords by Deb BrunottePhotos supplied by Zkye

ldquoOccasionally Irsquoll get some butterflies but I love that feeling and it turns very quickly into raw energy on stage rdquo

Twenty years ago the Adelaide live music scene was mostly dominated by males Over time this has changed with many ladies taking some of the limelight from the boys and proving they are a force to be reckoned with Zkye is a stand out singerperformersong writer and is currently dominating the Adelaide scene with her various acts Meet Zkyehellip

Deb What is your music background

Zkye I started out on Classical piano when I was in year two at school but I always sang along

Deb What was the first tune you learnedZkye I canrsquot really remember the first tune God knows where my kiddy piano books are now

Deb How often and for how long do you practice and what do you practice ndash eg exercises new tunes etc

Zkye Because Damo and I play so much practice can be hard because your voice gets tired if you sing all day and then gig every night I do a lot of internal practice I feel my voice singing the things or songs I need to work on feel the larynx move to the right places etc I also find thatrsquos really good for pitch knowing where notes sit in your throat

Deb You write your own songs What do you usually start with when working on a new piece

Zkye I start with a premise and go from there Usually Irsquoll just jam some chords on either the piano or guitar and then find something that works then often the lyrics flow from there I like to write melodies on the piano because I can come up with more interesting places that I might not push myself to go (as my

guitar skills ainrsquot quite up there) P

Deb What are your songs about What specific themes do they cover and how would you describe your music to people

Zkye They could be about anything From living with Fairies (eg A Fairies Tale from my first album ldquoBeyond The Panerdquo) drinking too much (eg The Vow also from ldquoBeyond The Panerdquo) being the best that you can be (The Perfect Me from the album ldquoIn The Caserdquo) or not wanting to be second place in love (Secondhand Love from the album ldquoJust The Way It Goesrdquo)

My music these days is Soulbluescountry I like so many different styles of music that I donrsquot want to be put in a box but at the moment those are the styles Irsquom messing with

Deb You travel regularly overseas Apart from Australia where have you played live and with whom have you recorded your material

Zkye I lived in Europe for a couple of years Holland was where I was based and recorded with a few different bands I was also signed to EMI Holland (for publishing) I also spend a lot of time in the US every year I record and write and get to see some awesome music


15

Nashville is home there and I miss it when wersquore home here I kind of have two homes these days

Deb Is there a particular song or musical passage that never fails to move you emotionally

Zkye Therersquos heaps I love the part in ldquoUnchained Melodyrdquo - The Righteous Brothers where he goes ldquoI NEEEEEED your loverdquo - awesomely sung and therersquos a million moreDeb What genre of music canrsquot you stand to listen to

Zkye Not into death metal or anything where the singing is just cookie monster vocals Basically anything where pitch is optional ainrsquot gonna do it for me

Deb Which famous musicians do you admire and why

Zkye Billie Holiday was a big influence when I was younger She wasnrsquot afraid to just sing the melody Aretha Franklin has given more than I could fit onto a page (letrsquos just say I LOVE HER) and Ray Charles as well Then we go modern with Bonnie Raitt Susan Tedechi Ann Willson and just coz I love her Cyndi Lauper

Deb Where would you most like to perform and who would you most like to open for

Zkye Irsquod love to open for Heart ANYWHERE I love the Greek Theatre in LA Would like to sing there )

Deb What acts do you currently perform with and who handles your daily business activities (Bookings promotions etc)

Zkye Zkye amp Damo (duo with Damien Steele Scott) Zkye amp The GuyZ (4 piece rockpub band) Zkye Blue (5 piece blues band and my favourite) and when itrsquos just a show booked as Zkye then Irsquom doing my originals and it could be a band from 8-10 players I do all the booking and business and try to do as much as I can directly

Deb Do you get nervous before a performance and what advice would you give to beginners

who are nervous

Zkye Occasionally Irsquoll get some butterflies but I love that feeling and it turns very quickly into raw energy on stage To anyone that gets nervous take a deep breath and remember that yoursquore the best you there is and no one else can do it like you


Zkye Play every gig as though you might get hit by a bus tomorrow In other words you donrsquot want anyone leaving the gig going yeah that was ok but last time was better You want to blow people away every time they see you

Deb How would you describe and rate the music scene here in Adelaide

Zkye Itrsquos sad that music isnrsquot as important to peoplersquos social lives now But wersquore still lucky to get to do what we do as a full time job and there are definitely still people out there who love their music you just have to get it to them


Deb If you werenrsquot singing what would you be doing any loves other than music

Zkye Irsquod either be working with animals or working in mental health with music therapy or the likes

Deb What other hidden talents do you haveZkye I can climb trees really well )

Deb What are your immediate music career goals

Deb If you could blink your eyes and be in a favourite place right now where would that place be

Zkye Anywhere with castles or Nashville so I can see my friends Maybe I could just blink my Nashville friends to the place with the castles That would work

ldquoThey are like lsquodude did you do a song with Jimmy Barnesrsquo and I go lsquoyeahrsquo They were like lsquodude Cold Chiselrsquo and they started rambling off all this stuff I donrsquot know So again I go back and Irsquom looking him up and Irsquom like oh my god this guy is like Australiarsquos Bruce Springsteenrdquo

by the bands historic visit to Cuba Two songs were recorded in Cuba by Ben Grosse (Marilyn MansonSevendust)

They were the first band (which included American musicians) to visit and play in Cuba since President Obama relaxed political relationships between Cuba and the US

ldquoI think it took us all by surprise said Marco ldquoWe didnrsquot realise the importance of it for me until I was actually there because after working and doing so many gigs all over the planet you get a little bit jaded and the idea was lsquowersquore going to Cuba yeah yeah great I always wanted to go to Cubarsquordquo

ldquoOfficially we were the first rock n roll band to be there under the right circumstances through the proper channels with a blessing from Cuba and the USrdquo says Marco ldquoWe did two shows but we could have done 30 for the amount of people that were thererdquo

John said ldquoWe did a club show and the club was a decent size It held about 1500 people You couldnrsquot have dropped a paper clip from the ceiling There was not a gap in the building at all There was to wall people If there were 1500 people inside there was probably double that outside trying to get inrdquo

ldquoThe second to last day we were thererdquo continued John ldquowe did a huge show at a place which is an old amphitheatre from the rsquo40rsquos where they used to do all the Salsa concerts That was for probably about six or seven thousand and that was completely sold outrdquo

ldquoFrom a historical point of view I was very curious to see what the whole country was all aboutrdquo said John ldquoSo it was cool to go thererdquo

ldquoI donrsquot know how your politics in Australia are but in America news is very divided There is a spin on what they want you to believe not what they want you to know but what they want you to believe In America CNN is very pro Democrat and Fox news is very pro Republican and they both differ with each other and they are both trying to spin some sort of a thing So my whole life I have been

kind of programmed to believe that Russia Cuba you know communists hellip oh god itrsquos the evil empire you know what I mean Irsquove been to both now in the last few years and I had a blast in Russia the fans were out of control and I had a blast in Cuba It was amazing I had a great time And at the end of the day you kind of leave there going ldquoYou know what f politics itrsquos really just about the musicrdquo There was a ton of fans there who were wearing Iron Maiden shirts some Guns rsquon Roses shirts and Kiss shirts they just love musicrdquo

ldquoThe cool thing is it was all documentedrdquo said Marco

The bands entire Cuban adventure has been made into a documentary film titled Revolucioacuten which fans were able to view the premiere of via Twitter It also aired on Qantas Inflight lsquoOn Qrsquo Entertainment Another first for the band is that their single lsquoMexicorsquo is also airing on Qantas Inflight lsquoRock On Qrsquo till November

There is also a coffee table photo book available as a hard copy or as an e-book which was launched in conjunction with the documentary via an exclusive partnership with Twitter Music These photos were taken by former supermodel and in-demand photographer Katarina Benzova

ldquoLiterally the minute we all arrived at the airport in Miamirdquo says John ldquowhen we all got together Katarina was snapping photos Then she went off on her own and got these incredible shots of Old Havana and people on the streets It was really coolrdquo

Both are available on the bands website

ldquoWe recorded two songs in Cubardquo said Marco ldquoOne of them was a song that John brought up to the table on the first meeting at dinner We all went lsquoyep thatrsquos the onersquo While we were rehearsing we realised we were in THE recording studio of Havana So we said why donrsquot we record So we started the process and thatrsquos where the inception of the CubanMexicanLatin American connection beganrdquo

Recording for the bandrsquos second album continued at Studio 301 in Sydney with tracks being produced by Craig Porteils (Guns Nrsquo RosesBilly Idol)

ldquoOur introduction to John was the Cuban triprdquo said Marco ldquoRight after that we had the studio booked then we came to the studio and that is where most of the writing began Therersquos a few songs that were hanging around for awhile we were even playing some of them live We realised that we had some good songs and we had to stop playing them live because we wanted to record them properlyrdquo

Jackie Barnes (Jimmy Barnes) plays drums on the majority of the album tracks as Brian Tichy wasnrsquot available

ldquoBrian is such in demandrdquo said Marco ldquoHe is one of the top drummers He gets called for a lot of stuff and he had some prior commitmentsrdquo

Is there a reason why they chose Jackie Barnes to drumldquoJackie had been around for whilerdquo said Marco ldquoWe had done a few tours with Jimmy and Jackie was with him We saw him play live on the big stage He is massive Hersquos great drummer I think one thing led to another and management got in touch with Jackie They threw the idea at us and we were like yeah it works Logistically he was there and Brian was not around We would have to go through the process of picking a drummer and flying him out and we didnrsquot know if that was going to be good So we went for the sure thing and Jackie did a great jobrdquo

ldquoThe hardest thing in the whole process was deciding which ones to recordrdquo said Marco

John said ldquoI think there was about 17 or 18 songs in total There are only 13 on the record In all honesty I feel we picked the right 13 for the recordrdquo

Cold Chisel were also recording their new album at 301 and in between takes they all hung out together Jimmy brought in a couple of songs for The Dead Daisies to listen to They all really liked Empty Heart which was written by Jimmy Barnes and Tommy Boyce and the next thing they were recording it as a duet with Jimmy Featuring two legendary rock singers and powerhouse vocals this is their latest release and it falls fully into the classic rock anthem category This song has now been released and radio stations across Australia have picked up the track It can now be heard on MOJO Radio iHeart Radio and community stations across the country

LISTEN HERE - httpssoundcloudcomthedeaddaisiesempty-hearts-WVRhu

So you chose Jimmy Barnes song rather than one of the others


19

ldquoJimmy sings the whole first verse and the chorus then I sing the second verse and the second chorus Then at the end of the second chorus there is a little tag line and he jumps back in there then therersquos the guitar solo then after the guitar solo there is a spot where I start a line and he finishes it There is a double chorus at the end He does the first chorus and I finish it off Everybody is like lsquoitrsquos a duetrsquo Yesrdquo

How did you get John in the bandldquoAll of us at one point or another had known John for years through our circles in LA and all that and Irsquove been a fan of his stuff for yearsrdquo said Marco ldquoWersquove always talked like a ton of us we hang out we meet here and there and say it would be nice to do something and sometimes it never happens But when Jon Stevens was having some issues I gave him a callrdquo

ldquoThere were some options We were even considering stopping for Jon Stevens and then we realised that wasnrsquot the right move because we had built so much There was a lot of logistically and financially and otherwise that when you really look at the bigger picture here you go lsquoWow therersquos so much work we have been doing here for a year and a half or more and we are going to lose itrsquo lsquoCause that is how this business is today So David Edwards and I were were talking and he said lsquohave you got some ideasrsquo I said lsquoyeah there is a lot of cats out that could do a great jobrsquo Then I called Johnrdquo

ldquoHonestly not because he is sitting here we wanted to find someone exactly like John that loves to do music for the right reasonsrdquo

John said ldquoWhen you called me I was out of the country and I literally got back the day before to Nashville I donrsquot live in LA anymore I was out doing shows and I get home and my wife says lsquohoney can you go food shoppingrsquo So I went food shopping and then I come home Just as Irsquom pulling into my driveway Irsquom shutting my car up and my phone rings and I go lsquoMarco Mendosa I havenrsquot talked to him in a year and a halfrsquo So I just answered the phone and Marco and I chatted He just told me about the band and asked me if Irsquod be interested in doing itrdquo

ldquoYes it is a great songrdquo says John ldquoItrsquos a really great songrdquoldquoand it is Jimmy Barnesrdquo added Marcoldquoand it is Jimmy Barnesrdquo agreed John

ldquoWe picked what we thought was the strongest of the two songs he gave us and it was a cool way of saying letrsquos introduce our new singer by way of having him sing with a legend in Australiardquo

ldquoI went home after recording and I have this little pub I hang out with all my musician friends We hang out and drink and watch football They are like lsquodude did you do a song with Jimmy Barnesrsquo and I go lsquoyeahrsquo They were like lsquodude Cold Chiselrsquo and they started rambling off all this stuff I donrsquot know So again I go back and Irsquom looking him up and Irsquom like oh my god this guy is like Australiarsquos Bruce Springsteenrdquo

Marco said ldquoYou canrsquot help but to love who he is as a personrdquo

ldquoHersquos had us over to his house a couple of times already and him and his wife just cooked this spread Hersquos just a sweetheart and I think that makes him that much better as a singer And the chops oh my godrdquo

John said ldquoWhen we were doing Empty Heart we actually went in and recorded the track Jimmy comes in and hersquos getting his tea and water gets the lyrics puts his glasses on and starts singing Irsquom sitting in the room and he just starts wailingrdquo

ldquoI get on the thing and say lsquoHey Jimmy it sounds fing awesome but you are killing me Donrsquot make me look bad bro donrsquot make me look bad Back it down just a little bit buddy just a little bitrsquo What a set of pipesrdquo

ldquoBut then I go in and do the song and he was the same way It was cool We had fun with itrdquo

Some say it is hard to hear the difference in the two vocals on Empty HeartldquoSome fans said lsquoit is great that Jimmy did a song with you guysrsquo I said lsquoyeah it was great doing a duet with himrsquo They said lsquoduetrdquo


20

Marco remarked ldquoI said we were doing this band and Jon Stevens got into a bit of a tight situation and we decided to move forward so check it outrdquo Then he added smiling ldquoThen I sent him four dozen roses and chocolates and a cheque for ten grand rdquo

ldquoNot truerdquo laughed John

ldquoWhen he called me and talked to me about it I had my own solo band and I just did shows right before I came here with my bandrdquo said John ldquoso I was a little bit apprehensive about the whole thingrdquo

ldquoHersquos like saying itrsquos this great band and hersquos telling me everybody thatrsquos involved Honestly I got off the phone and Irsquom sitting there going lsquoI donrsquot know who this band isrsquo At the time my guitar tech was staying at the house with my wife and I and I just happened to go inside They had seen me sitting in the driveway talking on the phone and they asked me who I was talking to I said I just got the weirdest call from Marco Mendosa and they want me to come out and check out this band The Dead Daisies My guitar tech is like lsquodude they were just on tour with KISS and Def Leppard last yearrsquo I said lsquoreallyrsquo So then I started looking them up online I heard a few of the songs and Irsquom thinking this shit is really cool Honestly I got into itrdquo

ldquoI am notorious for this obviously with the Motley thing but I always seem to find these gigs where I am following someone else There was all these things like lsquothis band is shit without Jon Stevensrsquo Some of them wrote to me directly on Facebook and said Jon Stevens is better whatever And you know what Irsquom not arguing with you hellip and this is on the record hellip I fing love the guyrsquos voice and I love whatever songs they wrote with him before because they are fing good songs There are some on the record that they started with Jon and I have no issue with doing them because at the end of the day they are great songs I admire the guy After I heard his voice I found him on facebook and I liked his page So Irsquom a fanrdquo

ldquoDave Lowy and Jon Stevens put this whole

band together I think the concept was to put a band together I think that Dave was very smart He put together a backing band backing band of incredible musiciansrdquo

ldquoI think the whole thing of it is and management said this to me in the beginning lsquoitrsquos very lax we just want everyone to have fun and enjoy doing this If there are shows that you can do we want you to come and be involved in this If ever there is ever a time where you have a prior commitment just let us knowrsquo At that point they meaning management will either have someone fill in for you or we donrsquot have to do the gigrdquo

Marco said ldquoEvery so often people ask you about a dream band For me this is it A lot of people ask me about a dream band and this is it for me We are in a good place I think We can really make a difference out there in the music worldrdquo

John said ldquoWhen he says dream band I laugh sometimes I go home and I tell my friends who have maybe seen the Daisies before and they are like lsquowow man this is such a great gigrsquo Itrsquos even more than going to Cuba or being onstage in front of Whitesnake or KISS on these huge arenas Yes thatrsquos great We are hitting a lot of people So it is great that way But the whole thing is great Like being in a room with these guys for a month A lot of bands arenrsquot doing that anymore That shows you the talent that is in the bandrdquo

ldquoWe got together in one month 32 days and we wrote and recorded mixed mastered and did the artwork for an album 17 songs there were songs that we didnrsquot even use So the talent is thererdquo

ldquoSo we are not only doing these great shows Irsquom in a band that is talented beyond belief we all like each other and then the management kind of make it to a point where there is no pressure Like if someone says we are doing the cruise and Marco said that he has a prior commitment we say lsquono worries go and do your thing it is your gig you are not losing it We will just get someone to fill in for yoursquo There is no pressure in this thing hellip at allrdquo

ldquoA lot of the interviews that Irsquove done they


21

look up the band and get their questions ready and they have this long list of people that have played with the band A lot of the names that on the list are ones that just filled in for Brian or Marco or whoever Richard Fortus had a motorbike accident and he couldnrsquot be here this tour so Dave from Baby Animals is filling in for him What happens now is Dave goes on the list So I think a majority of the people on the list are people who have filled in People say gee you guys have a lot of members No these are the members and these are the guys that have filled inrdquo

Marco said ldquoI give my commitment 100 and everything else is secondary to me What we are hoping is that everyone who gets involved in this project realises that itrsquos such a good place to be in creatively you can do so much here and yet you are surrounded by nothing but the best So we want this to be a priority for everybody so that everything else becomes secondaryldquo

ldquoSo I sit down with my manager and my agent and say that the Daisies want me from here to here so donrsquot book anything hererdquo said John ldquoSo the Daisies is really the priority and I just do my thing around it Irsquom going to do a record with them in February and as soon as Irsquove finished with that I will start to work on a record with my own solo band So this is really the thingrdquo

We were talking about the clubs on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles and how they have been knocking them down to build apartments

ldquoTherersquos so much to do and Irsquom guilty of it toordquo said John ldquoThere are tv shows that I like watching Irsquoll be laying on the couch watching Sons of Anarchy and Irsquoll be looking at my watch then look at my wife and say lsquodo you want to gorsquo and shersquoll look at me and say lsquoYeah Irsquoll go if you want to gorsquo You start calculating and think well Irsquom into this show if I get up I have to get changed I have to get into my car Irsquove got to drive Irsquove got to pay for parking hellip so a lot of these landmark clubs are faltering and so they say lsquoletrsquos sellrsquordquo

The Viper Room is mentioned

ldquoDo you want to hear something creepy

When I was in Motley Crue Tommy (Lee)called me He was friends with Johnny Depp and whoever owned The Viper Room Tommy called me and said what are you doing we are going to head down the Viper Room We knew that we were going to be drinking so we always hired a car to drop us off and pick us up So we get in there and Tommy is on his cellphone calling Johnny and saying that we are on our way We pull up at the Viper Room There was a liquor store next to it right on the corner There was an entrance on Sunset Boulevard and one on the side street The side street was the main entrance to go in but they had a door right next to the stage for loading and unloading Tommy calls and said that we are a block away and can you get someone to open the this door We get out of the car and there was this guy there opening the door And on the pavement in front of the door there was some dude laying on the ground and Tommy and I step over this guy to go in the door saying who is this fing rookie passed out drunk We step over him and we walk in to the club and we hang out having some cocktails At the end of the night we come out the same door We walk out and Christina Applegate is sitting there and she is hysterical Tommy says lsquoChristina what is going onrsquo She says lsquoA friend of mine just passed away He just died I just found outrsquo We are like wow that sucks She says itrsquos River Phoenix We are like lsquothe actor River Phoenixrsquo lsquoYeah he was partying and he came out and he died like right herersquo and Tommy and I went lsquodude that was the guy that we literally stepped over when we walked in the doorrsquo He was just laying on the kerb It was crazy crazy That was a weird night very oddrdquo

So when are they coming back to AdelaideldquoWhen they call usrdquo smiled Marco ldquoWersquoll do 10 days at the Gov nowhere else and wersquoll have everyone flown in to Adelaiderdquo He laughedldquoLetrsquos just start with one and see how it goesrdquo said John

ldquoThis guy comes up to me Hersquos all dressed up He says lsquoHi Marco Irsquom the mayorrsquo Irsquom thinking the mayor what band Then his wife come upand said he was the Mayor of Adelaide Then he said lsquoOn behalf of my wife and I we want


22

to welcome you Can I take a picture We are trying to promote more music in AdelaidersquoSo I called David Edwards straight away We can put our heads together on thisrdquo

From here was the KISS Kruise V in late October sailing from Miami to Jamaica followed by dates in Europe with Whitesnake kicking off in Moscow in November

LILY AND THE DRUMWords by Sue HedleyPhotos supplied byLily and The Drum

John Yacka (Ironhorse Cosmic Storm) on percussion harmonica and backing vocals and vocalist and guitarist Lily Higgins (Cosmic Storm) are Lily and The Drum Though their music embraces a variety of styles it can be generally defined as ldquocontemporary bluesy rock and rootsrdquo Their shows have been described as ldquohonest raw and energeticrdquo and ldquoa guitar and drum duo with an exciting rich melodic soundrdquo Their live sound is full but there are no backing tracks tricky vocal pitch correctors or computers working in the background

Their first gig was at the Promethean four years ago and since then have been working constantly They both were used to performing in larger bands and a concept of a duo with drums and guitar was new to them They were not sure how they would be accepted

ldquoIt was sort of accidental in that Lily and I were asked to perform at a wedding in Darwinrdquo says John ldquoI played hand drums and she was on guitar and vocals and it went very well When we got back to Adelaide I bumped into the organiser of a singersongwriters night at the Promethean who asked if we would do something stripped back Lily and I had a bunch of songs which didnrsquot suit the band so we performed them at that event and it all took off from there We got so busy with Lily and the Drum that we couldnrsquot really put the time into the full band thingldquo

Since then they have performed over 375 gigs Most of these have been interstate across a range of venues and events

Their first song ldquoNobody Just Like Merdquo was recorded in raw fashion to capture the sound of the duo They had AMRAP distribution for this song to community radio stations around

Australia

They were then given an opportunity to perform 10 dates on a small tour through Victoria and South Eastern SA They set off on the tour armed with a five track live EP recording of their original songs Reaction to their EP was excellent and so were the sales so once they returned home they recorded an album

This debut album had reached No 2 on the Adelaide Three D Radio Top 20 charts and then No 63 on the Adelaide Three D Radio 2012 Most played Top 101 chart As an additional bonus one of their tracks was selected for the stationrsquos compilation ldquoDepth Chargerdquo album of 2012 Their album also charted at number 23 in the Top 25 Most Played Albums Australian Roots and Blues Airplay chart October 2013

Their live performances captured the attention of festival promoters and Lily and the Drum were added to the bill on festivals throughout Australia Several of these have been in front of audiences in excess of 5000 people ldquoOne of the most memorable was in this small country town in Victoria called Heywood where we opened for Mental As Anything The town had a population of 1200 but over 15000 people attended It was huge It not

ldquoWe got so busy with Lily and the Drum that we couldnrsquot really put the time into the full band thingldquo


39

only surprised us but also took the Mentals completely by surpriserdquo

They have performed at the Semaphore Music Festival three years in a row and other festivals including the Barossa Valley Gourmet Food amp Wine Festivals 2012 amp 2013 Gellibrand Blues and Blueberry Festival 2014 in Victoria and the Melrose Music Muster 2015

ldquoWe have spent a lot of hours in the car travelling through South Australia Victoria and NSWrdquo says John ldquoYou could get a little negative about all those hours on the road but we enjoy the travelling and we use the time well Several new songs were written while travellingrdquo

They released another EP called ldquoAs A Matter Of Factrdquo on 30th of August 2014 and it debuted at number 3 on Adelaide Three D Radio Top 20 charts on 7th September The EP also charted at number 18 in the top 25 most played albums on the Australian Roots and Blues airplay chart in September Then the album ldquoWelcome Changerdquo followed

ldquoOur first album was very much Lily and the Drum in raw duo mode pretty much as you would hear us liverdquo says John ldquoWelcome Change is a shift from that sound as we wanted to invite some great friends to perform on some of the songsrdquo

ldquoWe kept several songs in the stripped back form and even where the additional musicians were included we kept it simple so that it was not over produced and we were able to maintain our duo identity We had performed many of the songs live as a duo so we knew

not over produced and we were able to maintain our duo identity We had performed many of the songs live as a duo so we knew they could stand up without the additional playersrdquo

Lily and the Drum are currently recording their third full length album in between their hectic tour schedule They are now also organising their own shows combining art music and comedy both here and interstate and these are going very well The next show like this in Adelaide is at Brewboys on Saturday November 28th

LIVE SOUND ADVICEBy Frank Lang

Like I said last issue the gear is great these days so where are we letting ourselves down when it comes to mixing bands Are we too easily seduced by PArsquos that are bass heavy out of the shopbox Is it just too damn easy to get the kick pumping away and well ldquoIsnrsquot thatrsquos what the crowd wantsrdquo

A great sounding Kick is vital to good nightrsquos rock appreciation but oftenhellipthe poor vocalist Relegated with guitars to some muddied up background sound

Why canrsquot I hear the singer These days it seems to be some sound people tend not to stop and listen to regularly stop mixing and ask themselves ldquowhat am I hearingrdquo and by follow on ldquowhat are the crowd hearingrdquo

What are the issues here Well itrsquos not the gear Maybe itrsquos the mixing position

Years ago some promoters started forcing sound engineers to ldquoback up all this s against the back wallrdquo or over to the side of the room and mix from ldquoout of the wayrdquo Well these guys did an awful lot of damage to the cause of good sound because when they move the gear they move the ear and the sound guys ears are what the whole crowd hears

Like a good HiFi the mixer-listener should be at the tip of an isosceles triangle and not a very long one at that

A recent visit to a Uni bar was an eye opener the desk was simply too far back My old mate ldquoBrainsrdquo (when he was house engineer) had a good mixing spot at the back of the front section in from the exit more or less at the above mentioned triangle spot Now it seems the mixer is relegated to the front of the back part of the room

I maintain these extra three metres back has

put the mixing desk at a distance where the sound engineer might find it easy with a powerful system to pump up the volume and to start to overdrive the room intelligibility out the window with mix problems abound

Irsquove been using an Ipod now for two years and the biggest issue is finding a spot in a crowded room to stand for a few minutes but at least I can hear the soundvolume levels relatively easily

Sometimes I find it useful to just back off a microphone or two or even the master as a last resort in order to relax the system and the room More moderate sound people just keep the levels down and thatrsquos fine too As for this huge Kick sound also try taking some frequencies below 100Hz down on the graphic - it gets rid of a lot of mud and clears up the bottom end

Now getting back to the kick - vocal debate the answer seems to be as simple as pulling the kick back 1- 3 db and pushing the vocals up a couple Thatrsquos two simple swipes on the faders

Now donrsquot get me wrong here heavens knows Irsquove made all the mistakes had feedback that caused rooms full of people turn and glare at me Irsquove stuffed up a whole nights mix had a good mix and then lost it had toms take off on me and where subs are concerned Irsquove rattled a few cages and shook come glasses but to use a famous pilots phrase ldquo any landing you can walk away from is a good landingrdquo if you get my drift

Every time I have an issue Irsquoll try to learn from it to take away some better ideas

Till next issue Frank wishing you happy mixing

SA PARANORMALWords and Photos by Allen Tiller

A siren mourned woefully at 8am in the north-west end of Adelaide city marking the moment of the final throes of life of executed man Glen Sabre Valance at Her Majestyrsquos Adelaide Gaol

This was the 45th execution within the gaol walls and the last hanging undertaken inside the gaol Forty-four men and one woman lost their lives via hanging in the gaol for various crimes since the establishment of the gaol in 1841

From 1841 until 1988 The Adelaide Gaol held over 300000 prisoners and was Australiarsquos longest serving continuous gaol It housed men women and children and sometimes lunatics

The first Governor was William Baker Ashton who was actually appointed two years before the gaol opened William and his wife Charlotte (who acted as the Gaol Matron until 1850) had 6 children with three of them being born during their time at the gaol

In 1854 William a very large man died unexpectedly in the upstairs office of the gaol The narrow staircase could not accommodate the size of his dead body so he had to be lowered down through a window to the ground below

Another infamous character of the Old Adelaide Gaol is the resident hangman Mr Benjamin Ellis Ellis acted as executioner for 10 years at the gaol and lived onsite at the time to help protect his identity Not much is known about the man except that he was very good at his job and undertook it in a precise and serious manner His lodgings were directly underneath the female dormitories where he is said to haunt until this day

Ellis would eventually leave his profession after two hangings that haunted him The first was the only hanging of a female in the

The Adelaide Gaol

Adelaide Gaol Elizabeth Woolcock

Mrs Woolcock had been found guilty of poisoning her husband with mercury and sentenced to death There are to this day many who claim she was not guilty of the crime but that did not stop her execution on December 30th 1873

The second hanging and possibly Ellisrsquo last was that of Charles Strietman in 1877 Ellis went about his work in the serious manner that he always conducted his business but for some reason on this occasion he forgot to secure the manrsquos ankles and feet When Strietman fell through the trap door his feet hit the trap and he was able to pull himself back up onto the platform One of the 13 witnesses present then pushed Strietmens legs off the trap until he fell and hung It was reported in the newspapers the following day that it then took Strietman over 23 minutes before he died from hanging

Ellis who is described as an ugly man with a

large bulbous nose is often seen within the gaol walls wandering aimlessly ndash perhaps for his part in so many executions his afterlife is to be spent within the gaol walls or perhaps he is looking for his next execution

Elizabeth Woolcock is also said to haunt the gaol walls dressed in a long white gown she is seen in the womenrsquos yards and cells from time to time during the day

John Balaban was a notorious and sadistic murderer in South Australia He came to Adelaide from Romania where he worked as an industrial chemist

In 1953 Balaban committed a triple murder when he killed his wife Thelma her six year old son from a previous marriage Philip and Thelmarsquos 66 year old mother Susan Ackland in the rooms above the Sunshine Cafeacute where the family lived He then turned his attention on Vera Maine a 24 year old waitress in the cafeacute Vera to escape Balaban jumped out through an upstairs window She lay on the footpath critically injured from the fall but was lucky to escape with witnesses able to call the police and thus save her life

Balaban was swiftly arrested and quickly confessed to another murder that of 29 year old Zora Kusic It was eventually the murder of Zora that got Balaban executed at the Adelaide Gaol on the 27th of August 1953 but it would seem he still lingers within the walls where his body and that of 45 other executed prisoners remain

Balaban has been seen on occasion near the hanging tower looking remorsefully at his feet ndash perhaps contemplating his eternal fate within the foreboding walls of The Adelaide Gaol

Many of you will be happy to know that the ghost tours that were run by the Adelaide Gaol Preservation Society for almost 25 years are returning this November for their famous tours hellip and alongside them are Ghost Crime Tours

MARIArsquoS COLUMN2015 CORPORATE CUP RUN AND

2015 AUSTRALIAN MASTERS GAMES FOLLOW UP

Well it was time to put on my running shoes and all that hard training I have been putting into this yearrsquos Corporate Cup Run

I decided to enter as an individual and to do the 45km run The first day was a lovely sunny day and we all set off on our first run I did the 45km run in an awesome time I set my time and pace as the first run was a timed run over a course of 7 runs with improvements and points each fortnight for teams or individualsAs I set off in all my fortnightly runs I found myself improving sometimes surprising myself with my overall ability In improving I took 384 mins off my previous first time run and my corporate cup runs prepared me well for this yearrsquos Australian Masterrsquos Games in the various sports I had competed in

In this yearrsquos Australian Masterrsquos Games I competed in the following

With the first day of the Australian Masters Games the weather was hot sunny dusty and windy so all athletes in all sports were really tested pushed in all their events Even most athletes suffered hayfever asthma and allergies but that did not deter the athletesrsquo enthusiasm and their competitive spirit in competing in all their chosen sports and events

Some like myself really pushed ourselves so that to just be out there competing was an overall achievement Not just achieving a medal but catching up with friends mates and celebrating the games was good sportsmanship It was a joy to see even if athletes won or lost and long lasting memories personal bests and all around achievements were done by all

So many things to enjoy lovely food officials and many fun times even through some of the toughest weather

In closing well done to all And see everyone in 2017 Tasmania Masters Games
