Since first plugging his bass into an amp as a Brisbane teenager, Tony ‘The Kid’ Robertson's loud, rock n roll journey spans 40-plus years. It's a journey that has seen him play with some of Australia's most iconic rock outfits. On show #158 of the Australian Rock Show, The Kid joins us for a lengthy interview, and we talk about everything...from the relentless gigging with Wasted Daze, his time in red-hot Brisbane band The 31st, playing pinball with the Ramones, before joining the Hitmen in the early 1980's. We also chat about his stints in the New Christs and Screaming Tribesmen, his work as an actor, and of course, talk a lot about The Naked Lunch - the outfit he formed in the mid-80's - who are set to release a new studio album shortly. All this plus lots more. Essential listening !

Since the late 1970's, guitarist Phil Bowley and his lightning fast fingers have been a key ingredient of many cool outfits....from the leather and studs of Shy Thunder, to the crunching riffs of White Widow, the melodic raunch of Rags n Riches to the street-level sleaze of the Candy Harlots - and most recently, the loud and brooding tunage of Melody Black and Dept. of Gloom. The one constant for this six string king is volume - and lots of it ! On episode #149 of the Australian Rock Show, Phil joins us to look over his life in rock ‘n’ roll and we cover many highlights: supporting Dio in 1986, opening up for AC/DC in 1991, performing at the first 'Metal Crusade' concert in Sydney in 1985 - his time in the Candy Harlots (and recording their Five Wicked Ways album), gigging with cricketer Brett Lee's band and much more !
