ETERNALLY YOURS...HA HA HA....THE SAINTS

One of my favourite bands, THE SAINTS. Aussie garage rock at its finest. I remember hearing, Im stranded at THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS in Manchester in 1977. The sheer power of that debut single was overwhelming. I bought the first album and still love it, but I remember going to see them at RAFTERS a crappy little club in Manchester. They were supported by WAYNE COUNTY AND THE ELECTRIC CHAIRS. It was quite weird gig, there were PUNKS and ROCKABILLY thingamabobs. the atmosphere was electric. THE SAINTS were touring their 2nd album ETERNALLY YOURS. The lead single was THIS PERFECT DAY, This highlights the best of the SAINTS. Im just soooo happy I was there that magical night. The album is a perfect memento. If you want to dip your toe into all that Australia music can offer, theres more. THE MOODISTS . THE BIRTHDAY PARTY. Are two more I can recommend.
