Chain, the originators of ‘Oz-Blues’, are to perform on the Labor Day long weekend (Sunday arvo) at the Kindred Bandroom, to celebrate 58 years at the top of the blues and blues/rock music scene in Australia. As the only blues band to have a number one hit record (Black’n’Blue) as well as a number two (Judgement), they also have the distinction of having possibly the longest permanently released album in Australian rock history in ‘Toward The Blues’ (Double gold).
'I Remember When I Was Young' was released as a Matt Taylor single with Chain playing on it. This also went to number one on the charts.
With ‘Chain Awards’ honouring their achievements at the Australian Blues Festival (Goulburn) as the first act listed in the new blues section of Screensound (National Archives) the accolades still continue.
Singer/harmonica player Matt Taylor and founder member/guitarist Phil Manning each have highly successful careers as solo performers, but with Dirk Dubois on bass and drummer Trevor 'Trapper' Draper, they combine to create the sound that has reverberated throughout the country since 1968.
Their performances include their previous hits plus selections from the many albums they have produced and, as well as being one of the slickest, polished acts around, they still have unstoppable energy and, boy, can they ‘jam’!
Chain live is a great entertainment experience, and with almost six decades of albums & performances under their belt, it doesn’t get any better than this!
Kindred Bandroom, 3 Harris Street, Footscray. Sunday 8th March.
"Chain's influence on Australian music has been enormous. They are renowned for their onstage chemistry and for being unafraid to admit their Australianness." - Rolling Stone magazine.
