Love That Album Podcast Episode 189 - Interview with Graham 'Buzz' Bidstrup
Chances are if you have ever been asked “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?” and you answered “No Way. Get F#$*ed. F#$* Off”, it means:
(a) You're a fan of The Angels,
(b) You're insensitive,
or
(c) You're both.
Welcome to episode 189 of Love That Album podcast.
I'm joined by genuine Australian rock music royalty, drummer Graham “Buzz” Bidstrup....but his career extends to so much more than being drummer and songwriter for The Angels (Angel City in North America) and
Ganggajang. He's been an audio engineer, producer, film composer,
multi instrumentalist, artist manager, and CEO of the hugely
important Thumbs Up Foundation dedicated to Indigenous health,
literacy, and numeracy instigated by the late Jimmy Little.
If you have any Australian rock albums from the 70s onwards in your collection, chances are very strong Buzz has some connection to those records. He's just released a memoir called “No Secrets: An Oz-Rock Memoir of Music and Mayhem”. I found it a great read because it covers
more than stories about performance and band politics (although
they're definitely in there). Buzz went to places many other
musicians didn't...it wasn't always a pleasant ride, but he's here to
tell the tale, and his proudest achievement is....well, you'll have
to tune in to find out.
My thanks to literary agent, Brendan Fredericks for making the introduction. The book should be available at your local bricks and mortar book shop in Australia, or wherever you order books / ebooks online anywhere on the planet.
