About this product
Product Information
Midnight Oil are one of the most 'Australian' rock bands this country has produced. Born from the Australian pub rock scene that gave us AC/DC, Cold Chisel and INXS, the Oils were able to break out of that scene without compromising themselves in any way. Indeed, their breakthrough overseas record was the most Australian album they made. But it wasn't just the subject matter that made them fiercely Australian; it was their stubborn independence, and their refusal to play the rock'n'roll game and respect its rules and masters. But more than any of this is the adrenalin rush of an Oils show. Performances so intense that witnesses swore they had seen the greatest Oils gig ever! Such was the belief that something so powerful could surely not take place regularly. When they took this overseas, audiences could often not understand a word they were saying, but musically they recognised a common language- powerful, unadulterated live performances. There is no band whose live shows are spoken of with the same awe as the OilsProduct Identifiers

No Time For Games
A fabulous book ! takes you step by step through the bands early pub gigs through to international tours. Super detail including dates, venues and song lists right back to the late 70's including gigs at the Royal Antler and Selinas in Sydney to The Crystal Ballroom and Bombay Rock in Melbourne. Lots of great pics and gig posters. So informative capturing the essence of the era and the band . Many personal memories revived. A must for all Oils fans and anyone interested in the Aus rock scene over the late 70's to early 2000's.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
