Lonnie Lee MySpace
Hello! Peace and Love to you !
Unfortunately we were hacked in our last
MySpace page along with many other bands, so we started again here.
You can visit the old site, but it has been turned into Personal site without
our music.

Here's some bio blurb..
Lonnie Lee, one of Australia's
true Hit Parade Music Legends has done it again!
The current show is as exciting and unique as his past
shows with new songs, new stories, new staging and a new profile that is
bound to attract new audiences.
The Legendary blues band CHAIN, call him the father
of Australian Rockabilly, and another Aussie Legend Russell Morris says,
Lonnie Lee is the REAL THING.
He is no clone pretend show. The number one and Gold Hits he sings are his
own and virtually every song he presents are from the many best selling records
or CDs he has released over many years. As well as more current songs, he takes
his audiences back to his roots from the passive 50s hits of 1957 to the classic
rockers!! Many of the songs were also written by this singer songwriter including
his latest singles and albums.
No, these are not club land renditions! He does them all with a unique Lonnie
Lee edge and freshness, which has audiences sitting on the edge of their chairs,
itching to get up and dance.
He also includes an extremely popular segment where he reflects on some singers
who influenced the young Lonnie Lee such as early Elvis, Marty, Ricky, Buddy,
Chuck, Johnnie Ray and others. Styles visited include rockabilly, blues, rock,
country, rocknroll and impact ballads.
No one is left out when visiting a Lonnie Lee show, he is not just loocked
into that era. So many of the guys and gals in the audiences were around when
he had his first hits. They love the show and they love him! Tom Jones is not
the only one who gets aduration from the young.
The show cannot be just called a rocknroll show as it is not just that. It
can only be described as a show featuring one of Australias most successful
Hit Parade and Television stars of the last 45 years, who is more vibrant and
current today than ever. The Leemen are always an integral part of the show,
with their wonderful harmonies and musical excellence they truly are a supportive
band. In the first part of the show, they take the audience on their own trip
through a great selection of songs, including their own tribute to some of
the great stars of those early days.
His Australia wide appearances to nearly 200,000 people on the most successful
all Australian show ever, Long Way To The Top, have accorded him with accolades
from all areas.
Each night he was introduced ..
"In the early sixties, no one had more hits
than this guy, he was great then and he is greater now... Here he is... Lonnie
Lee"
Lonnies peers on that tour such Ross Wilson of Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock,
Jim Keays of Masters Apprentices, Matt Taylor and Phil Manning of Chain, Billy
Thorpe, Normie Rowe and others, paid him one of the biggest compliments ever,
when they credited Lonnie and his early rockabilly style of singing, as being
one of the main reasons that they wanted to enter show business.
His current shows are in venues include inimate dinner venies, large auditoriums,
casino theatres and outside festivals such as the Gold Coast's Wintersun Festival
where he headlines nearly every year. This is where he has recently twice received
the publicly voted awards Australia Post's Best performer Award and Best Nostalgia
Artist Award.
His recent releases include a DVD 'Good Rockin' Tonight' and singles
such as 'Cant you see it in my eyes', 'Best Friends' and 'Lonely Nights' all
from the newly released album, 'Light of Love' which is getting excellent critique
especially from the young female buyer. The gentle ballads are great as a romantic
'mellow' mood enhancer!
The new June release country rockabilly album, 'North West Mail' is
a colection of Lonnie's songs which in mmnay caeses tell his own story. It is
an example of his unique writing and singing style and although mnay say he
is similar to Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and an early Elvis, he is really just
Lonnie Le doing HIS thing! There are some samples of this album on the Lonnie
Lee web site.
His full catalog is still in demand and releases on Starlite Records
include, The Definitive Original Collection Volumes 1 and 2 where each Volume
is a 2 CD set which features 26 of his early rockabilly tracks from 1959 to
1964. The second CD has lots of vision for a DVD or CDrom player. Volume 3 of
the collection features 33 songs he performed on TV Shows 1959-1972 such as
Bandstand, Six O'Clock Rock, Sing Sing Sing, Johnny O'Keefe Show and many more.
Looking and acting unbelievably younger than his years, he is still
a 'today' act in 2007. His audiences are made up of Baby Boomers and young adults
who want something different than what they get on music TV and format radio.
The new romantic ballads album, 'Light of Love' will definately put a little
romance and gentleness back into your music as it glides across many areas of
love, and the esxciting 'North West Mail' takes a country rockabilly trip down
through much of Lonnie's life and caeer in song.
