Ross Wilson To Wrap 50 Years Into One Long Tour

by Paul Cashmere on September 13, 2023

in News

Ross Wilson will head out with The Peaceniks at the end of September for the ‘Steppin’ Out! 50 Years of Hits Tour which will see him on the road for the next seven months.

Ross has well and truly overshot the runaway on the 50 year mark with that first Daddy Cool album ‘Daddy Who? Daddy Cool’ and the single ‘Eagle Rock’ already passed 52 years.

Even the second Daddy Cool album ‘Sex, Dope, Rock’n’Roll Teenage Heaven’ is about to hit 52 after being released in December 1971, just six months after the first album.

Ross even goes back further with The Pink Finks around Melbourne from 1965 to 1967 and then Sons of Vegetal Mother from 1969 to 1971, before Daddy Cool.

Mondo Rock was then around from 1976 to 1991 and again for live shows in 2006 and 2007 and occasionally since 2011.

Ross has also had four solo albums and an acoustic record from 1989 to 2010 and recently released a new song ‘She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time’.

Why Queen’s Quietest Member John Deacon Chose to Become a Recluse Until This Rare Return

For fans of Queen, John Deacon has long been the enigma of the band, a brilliant musician, masterful songwriter, and humble presence behind the scenes. Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.

In 1975, Patti Smith entered Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios in New York City with a vision: to fuse the jagged energy of punk with the fluid imagery of poetry.

Now, half a century later, Sony has announced the 50th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Horses, a release that both celebrates the legacy of the record and offers fans newly unearthed material from Smith’s early years.
