I haven't posted here for a little while so I thought I would give you all an update.
I have been interviewing a lot of people and gathering more and more information for the book and it's been taking up a lot of my time. I have also uncovered some amazing archives which include photo's and rare tapes of unreleased music. As some of you know their will be a CD with the book and a lot of the songs I have uncovered will be on it. Some great surprises let me tell you and I can't wait to share them with you.
I will try and post some more bands here in the coming week so keep an eye out.
Also, I will be publishing a book written by John Hood in the coming months. John was the original guitarist with Sid Rumpo and also played in numerous groups in the 60's and 70's such as The Elks, Bitch, Jelly Roll Bakers to name a few and is still playing today. The book comes with a CD which will have approx 14 songs on it which highlights his playing in most of the bands he was in. A great extra to listen while you read his book.
If you have any interest in buying a copy, then please leave a comment below and I put you on the mailing list and notify you when it becomes available.
Cheers.

Hi George,
I am working on releasing a double CD of WA rock, pop and beat covering the years of 1959 to 1967.
I would be interested in hearing more about your book and also CD just to ensure there is not to much crossover.
It is great to see others preserving WA's musical heritage. I can be contacted at david.arys@gmail.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Dave

I'd be interested both books when they're published. I was briefly in a Perth band in 1963 before I moved East. Can't remember what it was called or who was in it, except I think the drummer's name was Jim/Jimmy, and he lived out Claremont way. Long time ago! Drop a note to ron.keeley@gmail.com when you're ready.
Cheers
