Ep. 55: Aussie Pub Rock with Craig Elvin

Episode Summary

No worries this week as we hop on the rainbow serpent and carve our way through some Aussie Pub Rock! We Americans may know AC/DC and a few select other Aussie bands, but our good friend from Sydney: Craig Elvin takes us on a sonic journey across the continent to hear where that meat and two veg rock originated. Robert and Kevin go way back with Craig and we get quite a few pub tales of our own during this one. Grab a pint and get ready to rock - - - Aussie-style!

Episode Notes

What is it we do here at InObscuria? On most shows, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This go round we turn the microphone over to Craig Elvin to give us all a schooling on lost, forgotten, and should have beens selections of Aussie Pub Rock. Our hope is always that we turn you on to something new.
