Live at the Station 1976

 

Live at the Station contained recordings of various bands playing in the Lounge at the Station Hotel, Prahran over two nights in March 1976. Released on LP record Lamington Records LAM-332, it also included Wild Beaver Band, Myriad and Saltbush. Although a multitrack recorder was used (in the back of a truck parked outside the Lounge door in Greville Street Prahran) the quality of tracks released like "Marijuana Hell" did not approach the live sound of the bands. Aztec Music label had originally listed it as a forthcoming CD release of The Dingoes at the Station Hotel in 1976. This listing has been removed from the web site in 2008.

 


The Dingoes 1974

 

(Mushroom/Festival)

 

First album from these West Coast (USA) influenced country rockers. Featuring top quality playing as you would expect from such experienced Aussie musos including ex Carson lead vocalist Broderick Smith, Kerryn Tolhust (Country Radio, Mississippi, Richard Clapton), Chris Stockley (CamPac, Axiom), John Lee (Blackfeather, Ariel), John Dubois (New Dream, Country Radio), Mal Logan (Healing Force, Home) this is an album with some strong Australian imagery in the lyrics. Includes the two hit singles "Way Out West' and "Boy On The Run".
