Cold Chisel To Release Series of Live Albums

in New Music,News

Cold Chisel will start to release a series of live albums in November beginning with ‘The Live Tapes Vol 1, Hordern Pavilion, April 18, 2012’.

The 21 tracks/1 DVD album will be the first live Chisel album in over 10 years.

The Hordern show was a few months after the Cold Chisel ‘Light The Nitro’ tour. “We were really road hardened by the time of that Hordern gig because we’d just finished that big tour a few months prior”, reflects the band’s frontman, Jimmy Barnes. “Adding a few new songs in the set for those launch gigs kept things fresh for us. Listening and watching it back, it’s raw and primal, warts and all – like the best rock & roll should be.”

“We were really road hardened by the time of that Hordern gig because we’d just finished that big tour a few months prior”, reflects the band’s frontman, Jimmy Barnes. “Adding a few new songs in the set for those launch gigs kept things fresh for us. Listening and watching it back, it’s raw and primal, warts and all – like the best rock & roll should be.”

Cold Chisel will release at least five live albums over the next five years. Don Walker told Noise11 that the band was also working on new material. “We really actually for the first time in our history sat in a room, just four of us, and tried to write songs together and it was very enjoyable,” Walker told Noise11.com.

“That handful of smaller gigs we did last year were really special. It’ll be good to have one out there for everyone who wasn’t able to get along to those shows”, says Cold Chisel guitarist, Ian Moss.
