THE RADIATORS – Australia’s Hardest Working ROCK Band
Few survive the Rock ‘n’ Roll road to stardom but THE RADIATORS are Rock’s greatest survivors! Showcasing 30 years of outstanding music, exciting and sometimes controversial lyrics, more than 4,000 electrifying live performances and platinum and gold album sales.
THE RADIATORS debuted late 1978. Their first album “Feel the Heat” was released late 1979 and by March 1980 these Aussie Rock Icons had achieved platinum status.
Little did they then know they would go on to forge a unique sound and influence thousands of music lovers throughout Australia.
Since 1978 THE RADIATORS have achieved many “firsts” –
First Australian Band to have advance/presales on a debut album (6,000 copies of “Feel the Heat” had been sold before it was released);
First Australian Band to achieve platinum status and a Top Ten position with their first two albums;
First Australian Band to play more than 320 gigs in their first year of formation;
One of very few Rock Bands worldwide to have survived so long with their original frontline intact.
Little did anyone realise back in 1978 that this Band would still be together, still hugely popular and still producing quality music in the new Century with still with no signs of slowing down. The music from their more than one dozen albums has produced hits and anthems for their dedicated fans, culminating in the release of an historic and very special 25th Anniversary Album in 2004.
This is what great home made Aussie Rock is all about!
Travelling thousands upon thousands of kilometres up, down and across the length and breadth of their vast country, THE RADIATORS have carved a niche in the annals of Aussie Rock history. They have headlined and shared the stage with other great Aussie acts such as AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Dragon and INXS. THE RADIATORS have played their music to more than two million people in Australia and have national sales totalling more than half a million.
THE RADIATORS have gained legions of international fans after smash hit shows in London and the rest of Europe, including an historic tour of Brazil. The rest of the world has finally discovered what we Aussies have known for years – these boys are the greatest!
Despite the rigors of touring and the passing of years, the spark and energy of THE RADIATORS has not diminished. They continue to do what they do best – tour extensively, play an average of 150 times per year and delight the legions of fans both young and old who still flock to grab a slice of living Aussie Rock history, rocking the night away to the great catchy songs and classic hits that have made THE RADIATORS a household name in Australia!
4 x GRINSPOON TIX FOR SALE @ The Corner Htl, Melbourne, Wed Sept 16th. I booked the wrong show in the wrong state..... Im an idiot! If interested please let me know via messege.... Cheers Rick
FINALLY GONNA SEE U GUYS WOOOHOOOOO!!!! Was going when I was 17 but never made it for some reason. See u at Farview Tavern Saturday night!!!! Can't wait!!! :)
I actually went & researched the event after my comment. Im still keen as it is a very worthwhile Charity! I did noticed though at the Golden Stave website they hadnt made mention of THE RADS 30 Yr Anniversary! but had instead made big mention of the Mentals 30yrs in the biz... I was wondering had the publicist got it wrong?? Nothing against the Mentals but hey they havent been touring solid for 30 yrs... even if they did release an EP back then. Where as THE RADS have indeed relentlessly played shows all over Australia for 30yrs. Anywho, I was a bit miffed by that & just wanted to bring it to the attention of someone in THE RADS camp as I think they should have made special mention of THE RADS milestone!! & the Mentals are stealing their thunder
Anywho, will see how I go but must say I do like the idea of starting at 12pm. Im just trying to find a mate to attend with me (tricky being on a work day) got a feeling this will be a harder task than finding the dollars for the Tix, which actually is very good value/money well spent on 6 or so hours of luncheon as well as 4 Major Acts! As well as the entertainment it will be a blast & add to the fun of the day to dress in 80s gear hehee... so yeah, keen!
If all else fails I spose I could just get thrown on a table with other & 'solos' & hey who knows may just meet some very cool & interesting folk
Cant make tonight but I spy a very impressive show coming up at The Horden!!! Wow, will have to do my absolute bestest as it would be so awesome to see you rock out at the THP... infact it would be a sin not to be there. Whatever else Ive got on that night I might just have to cancel ; )
Hey boys, i played a show @ Waves nightclub in wollongong on the weekend & spotted a Rads sticker on the air con in the change rooms lol Nice work... I came & watched that show acouple of weeks ago you guys smashed it... Thanks for the memories
