Artist Listing : Coloured Balls/Lobby Loyde (1 products)



Coloured Balls/Lobby Loyde - Heavy Metal Kid. CD. (Aztec - AVSCD 18)

With the dawning of 1974, the future looked bright . Their album ball power sat in the Melbourne top 10 (national #13) and their performance at Sunbury 1974 over the Australia day weekend had been a triumph. They were at the peak of their powers, one of the countrys top live draws yet, by the end of the year, fate had intervened and the band was simply crumbling under the weight of outside pressures: emi calling for hit singles; the national media branding them as anti-social misfits; a wave of violence unfolding at their gigs around the country. The image, perpetrated by the media, sat uneasily with the members of the Coloured Balls - one of the most misunderstood bands of the early 1970s. Fortunately, they left behind another great album in this. Like previous work, this album retains a power and strength of purpose to this day, displaying an adventurous spirit and further reaffirmation of the bands status as a pioneering progressive / acid,hard rock outfit. One of the standout album tracks "back to you" was performed recently when Lobby Loyde was inducted into the aria hall of fame (backed by the Aztecs). the band managed one more single "Bama lama baby" / "Be your lover" before disbanding. This single was thought to be their last recording, until a master tape of an unreleased single "Flying / around and around" was discovered. Recorded live in the studio in 1975 with engineer / producer Gil Matthews, these 2 tracks (featured here among the 7 bonus tracks), represent the final studio offering from one of australia s greatest bands.Housed in a stunning 3 fold digi.
