The Spaniards - Locked In A Dance (1986) plus bonus tracks

 (Australian 1983 - 1986)

The Spaniards were a short-lived Australian musical group, which formed in 1983. Their 1986 debut mini-album, 'Locked in a Dance' peaked at number 55 on the Australian charts. Members included Russell Hellyer-Brown on bass guitar, Mark Mannock on keyboards, Billy Miller on guitars and vocals (ex-The Ferrets), and Mick Pealing on vocals (ex-Stars, Ideals).

The Spaniards also utilised other musicians as required like Dave Springfield, Kevin Purcell and John Annas. The band released three singles: "God Is A Shield", "Angel" and "What Can I Do" and a mini LP, called “Locked In A Dance” (EMM.430038) for EMI in 1986. Additional players on the single “God Is A Shield” were Hendrick de Fries, James Freud and Wayne Young. This single was produced by Molly Meldrum on IC Records and charted at #54 on the Australian Charts.

The Spaniards made numerous appearances on Countdown (see below) and sellout residencies at infamous venues like The Prospect Hill Hotel and The Venue in St Kilda. They also supported Tina Turner on her Private Dancer tour plus Katrina and the Waves on their Walking On Sunshine tour.

The Spaniards disbanded in 1986 but then reformed in the same year with Mick Pealing (vocals), Russell Brown (bass), Chris Ziros (guitar), Antony Ziros (drums) and Mark Mannock (keyboards).

They finally called it quits in 1989 although in 2016, Billy Miller, Mick Pealing, Rusty Brown, John Annas & Mark Mannock played a one off reunion gig on the 25th November at the Satellite Lounge in Melbourne, from which the video clip below was taken (see advert).

Band Member Profiles

Mick Pealing (Vocals)

In 1975, Pealing helped to form the Australian country rock band 'Stars', in Adelaide, South Australia. 

Founding members were Glyn Dowding on drums; Malcolm Eastick on guitar and vocals; Mick Pealing on vocals; and Graham Thompson on bass guitar. They were joined by guitarist, songwriter, Andrew Durant in 1976 and relocated to Melbourne. Thompson then left and was replaced by a succession of bass guitarists including Roger McLachlan (ex-Little River Band) and Ian McDonald.

Stars decided to call it quits in 1979, when Andy Durant was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Pealing later formed his own band Mick Pealing and the Ideals (1980–1981), and were also a backing band for Renée Geyer. He then formed The Spaniards (1983–1986) and worked with other artists including Eastick and McLachlan who were members of Mighty Rock with Pealing in 2004.

Today, Mick continues his love for British hard Rock from the 60’s and 70’s with the band Raw Brit featuring members of Boom Crash Opera, Angels, Rose Tattoo, Skyhooks & Baby Animals, and also plays the occasional gig with a reformed members from The Stars (see Mick's Website for details)

Billy Miller (Guitar & Vocals)

Billy is an Australian musician who started singing and playing guitar back in the 1960s. After a 3 year stint in the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar, he formed 'The Ferrets', who in 1977 had a no.1 hit "Don't Fall In Love" and gold album 'Dreams of a Love'. 

His other groups also include 'Billy Miller’s Great Blokes', known for the popular song "I Want To Live In A House" which was featured in the Australian movie ‘Starstruck’ in 1982. He then joined The Spaniards in 1984, playing with them until they disbanded in 1986.

In 2011, Billy was busy playing gigs with Stephen Cummings and his own band, then recording a new album. 

Fast forward to 2014 and Billy teamed up with ARIA award winner and good mate Paul Kelly to co-write ‘Don’t Let a Good Thing Go’ which featured on Kelly’s ‘The Merri Soul Sessions’ album. He also co-wrote four of the songs on Kelly’s 2017 ‘Life is Fine’ — ‘Rising Moon’, ‘Firewood and Candles’, ‘Rock Out on the Sea’ and ‘Leah: The Sequel.

Russell Hellyer-Brown  (Bass & Vocals)

After The Spaniards split for the second time, Russell went on to form his own band called 'Hellyer Brown', along with Spaniard brothers Anthony (drums) and Chris Ziros (Guitar) and Shawn Gardener (Bass). Russell changed his name to Rusty Brown and took on lead vocals. However, this band did not last long and Rusty decided to take a short hiatus from the music industry.

Nevertheless, Rusty Brown eventually joined the Australian hard rock band Electric Mary in 2004. Featuring Rusty Brown on vocals, Irwin Thomas (aka Jack Jones) on guitar / vocals, Venom on drums, Pete Robinson on guitar / vocals, and Alex Raunjak on Bass they cite inspirations from a number of bands and musicians from Deep Purple to David Bowie with their sound encompassing a combination of rich guitar riffs, bass, and drums.

Anthony Ziros (Drums & Vocals)

Anthony joined the Kevin Borich Express in 1989 and toured Australia on the Matt Taylor and Kevin Borich Blues tours in 1991 and 1992.

Anthony also toured with the following artists:   Ian Moss, Ross Wilson, Dale Ryder, Brian Mannix, Stuart Fraser, Wilbur Wilde and Matt Moffitt.

John Annas (Drums)

John Annas is known to have been a member of 3 bands - Broderick Smiths Big Combo, Kevin Borich Express and the Spaniards, and has been a session drummer for many Australian artists, including Renee Geyer.

David Springfield (Guitar)

Dave Springfield (guitar, backing vocals) was a member of hard rockers Buster Brown (which also featured vocalist Angry Anderson later of Rose Tattoo). He then played along side Billy Miller in 'The Ferrets' from 1975-1979, before playing with Mick Pealing's Spaniards until they disbanded. 

Sadly, I have not been able to find any information for Mark Mannock (Keyboards). If anyone has any Intel on him, I'd love to hear from you.

Various Artists - Andrew Durant Memorial Concert (1980)

 (Australian 1980)

Andrew MacLeish Durant (2 October 1954 – 6 May 1980) was an Australian musician-songwriter. He was a member of country rock group Stars (1976–79) providing guitar, harmonica, and backing vocals. He was also a session and backing musician for a range of artists. He died of cancer, aged 25. On 19 August 1980 a tribute performance was held in his honour, with a live double-album recorded by various artists, Andrew Durant Memorial Concert, which was released on 9 March 1981. All but three tracks were written by Durant. It peaked at No. 8 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart and reached No. 40 on the End of Year Top 100 Albums Chart for 1981...R.I.P

Andy's Story

Andrew was born in Adelaide on 2nd October, 1954, the youngest of six children. Four of his five brothers and sisters played guitar at various times, and this influence, together with the blues and folk records they brought home during their teenage years induced Andy to show a musical interest at a very early age. He taught himself to play guitar around the time he started High School, and developed to the point where he performed solo at school concerts. At the age of fifteen he bought his first electric guitar and started jamming with other beginners in the area; playing material from the Beatles, The Band, Cream and Grand Funk Railroad.

He quickly earned respect as the best local musician, showing a strong talent for guitar, harmonica and vocals. Songwriting ideas were also starting to come through at this time.

His friends also remember him for his performances at parties. playing accurate renditions of Dylan songs such as "Love Minus Zero - No Limit", "George Jackson", and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".

In late 1972 Andy, Glyn Dowding and I formed a band called Astrakhan, with the intent of developing a career- Towards the end of the band's 18 month life Andy introduced his first original song to our repertoire of material by groups such as Free and Deep Purple. He left Astrakhan just before it disbanded, and formed a band called Mirrormere, to play more experimental music under the influence of bands such as King Crimson.

In 1975, I formed Stars with Glyn. Mick Pealing and Graham Thompson. and after working for a year and earning ourselves a record contract in Melbourne, we asked Andy to rejoin us as rhythm guitarist/ harmony vocalist. He accepted, expressing an interest in developing his songwriting. Within only a few months he became the major writing force in the band, producing some ten songs, most of which were recorded for the Stars 'Paradise' album released in January 1978. These songs, which were to earn Andy his reputation as a songwriter, were his first serious works.

The Stars -1978

The success of Paradise led to a consistent national touring schedule for Stars. which, together with line-up changes, detained the release of the follow-up album 'Land of Fortune' till June 1979. ln August 1979, after months of hesitation. Andy submitted himself for medical tests to investigate the unusual growth of a mole on his back. The tests confirmed that the mole had become malignant. This form of cancer is called melanoma. Stars fulfilled their September commitments with a replacement guitarist while Andy recuperated after a removal operation. He resumed live performances with the band in October after further tests indicated an "all clear" on his health.

In November, Stars disbanded due to disappointing sales of the 'Land of Fortune' album, coupled with the need for new direction and a change of pace after four years of constant touring.

Andy was invited to Sydney in December to play guitar on Richard Clapton's current album, 'Dark Spaces', but had to abandon the project before completion due to the discomfort of severe back pains. He returned to Melbourne and after extensive medical tests at the Peter MacCallum Hospital, was diagnosed as having "secondary's" in the form of bone cancer. Extensive chemotherapy and ray treatment were prescribed immediately, but by February 1980, Andy was bedridden. To enable him to remain at home with his family regular ambulance transport was provided to and from the hospital.

Andy made clear his wish that his condition be kept secret, for the entitlement of his privacy, and to avoid the pain it would cause his many friends. He had great determination to win his battle and despite his illness, his talent and love for song writing continued to grow. The small group of family and friends who surrounded him encouraged him to further the musical statement he had already made. Andrew Durant died on Tuesday, May 6th. 1980, aged 25.

This Memorial Concert was conceived as a gesture of love and respect from Andy's friends and peers. The full potential of his talent may never be realized, but his music remains and it is befitting that it be performed in its entirety. Showtime will realise the magnitude of the entire entertainment industry pulling together to make this unique event possible.

The plan commenced with the intention of using proceeds of the concert to establish the annual "Andrew Durant Songwriter's Award". Sponsorship since received now enables us to direct the majority of the proceeds to the Peter MacCallum Hospital for further research into the drugs used in Andrew's treatment.

A copy of the Hospital's letter acknowledging the proposal is included below for your reference.

I saw Andy Durant playing with Stars back in 1977, during the 'Nightmovies Concerts' and was a huge fan of his guitar playing. His passing was a huge shock to the Australian Music Industry and fan community and his legacy will never be forgotten. This post is a tribute to both his amazing contributions to the Australian Music Scene and the strength he demonstrated as a Cancer patient.

Artists who contributed to this memorial concert were: Mick Pealing, Malcolm Eastick, Glyn Dowding, Renee Geyer, Broderick Smith, Ian Moss, Don Walker, Graham Thompson, Kerryn Tolhurst, Jimmy Barnes, Richard Clapton, Rick Formosa, John-James Hackett, Glyn Mason, Mick O'Connor, Billy Rogers

Stars - 1157 (1980) + Bonus Live Single

 (Australian 1975 - 1980, 2019)

1157 is the first and only live album by Australian country rock music group Stars. The album was recorded at Bombay Rock in Melbourne in October 1979 and released in July 1980, following band member Andrew Durant's death. The album peaked at number 46 on the Australian charts, remaining on the chart for 8 weeks.

The Stars toured extensively to sell-out performances Australia-wide during 1975 to 1980, and chose to name their third album 1157 after the number of live gigs they had played.

Sadly, on May 6, 1980, Andy Durant died of cancer aged just 25. A shooting Star that dazzled us was gone. Eastick organised the Andrew Durant memorial concert in Melbourne and the big names of the Australian music industry offered their support, including Cold Chisel. The tribute performance on August 19, 1980 produced the double live album Andrew Durant Memorial Concert and profits from the concert and album went to The Andrew Durant Cancer Research Centre.

The following is an early gig review of The Stars while they were the supporting act for Joe Cocker when he toured Australia in 1977, and provides an insight into why so many people and fellow Australian artists respected this popular Aussie band from the 70's

Slugging It Out With Stars

(Review by Annie Burton)
RAM Mag, Dec 30th, 1977 - #74

When they filled the support spot during Joe Cocker's last tour, Stars proved their ability by being one of the very few Australian support bands to a main act to keep the people in their seats while they played.

Audiences were surprised by them, listened and applauded hard. The usual slightly deplorable attitude is Let's go out and have a smoke and an ice cream, leaving the support band with a three quarters empty hall. Stars were excellent- Tight, solid as a cannonball, with a sound of their own. No shit. They even took on Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way", the risky set piece for guitarists who use and abuse voice boxes, and won. In the middle of it they slipped into "Heartbreak Hotel" and then out again with easy style. Guitarist Andy Durant was superb, the drums/bass combo of former LRB bassist Roger McLachlan and drummer Glyn Dowding was simultaneously thunderous and nippy, like a rolling storm under flashes of flaring guitar. That sounds fanciful, I know, but they were that good.

No gimmicks, cheap shots or band-waggon hopping. And maybe that's why Stars are where they are and not headlining their own shows. You can't categorise them. Not a bopper band, not Serious Electronic, jazz rock, fag rock or crotch rock, although they most certainly are ballsy. Their stage manner is polite and charming, not abusive, dangerous or androgynous bopper sexy- Singer Mick Pealing is almost self effacing; not shy exactly, or reticent. nor is he a nothing. He has a good voice and he uses it well, it's just that he's not (and God knows I hate to use the word) charismatic. He's good looking, sure, and delivers the goods with knobs on, but he doesn't ever seem to go to the edge. Edgework is exciting; maybe it's the ancient call to the blood lust inherent in rock that's lacking. . .
It doesn't matter all that much, because what Pealing is doing is declining to be a front man. He stands back and lets the rest of the band steam ahead, almost as though he's slightly in awe of being part of such a machine.

When they first appeared at the far end of the plateau in '75. they were somewhat given to gimmickry. Not full on. Rollers type gimmickry, but a tricksy image all the same. They were the Rock 'n' Roll Cowboys, wearing sherriff 's badges, stetsons, neck kerchiefs, vests, boots, the leather 'n' denim schmear -That was the year they won the King of Slop Best New Band category. They followed up with the successful "Quick On The Draw" single. A long gap and then another cowpoke song. "A Winning Hand" Somewhere along the line they got sick of playing cowboy, as the American country soft and southern rock influences dwindled and Australiana took over.

Mal Eastick, second guitarist and founding member, said of its demise: "lf we ever get the opportunity to go to America, and got billed with the Charlie Daniels Band. or Elvin Bishop, or something like that, the tag 'Rock 'n' Roll Cowboys' would iust be ridiculous, cause they're cowboys playing rock 'n' roll. we're rock 'n' rollers playing cowboys." Eastick's statement displays not only the band's influences, but also a certain naivete; if Elvin Bishop has ever been closer to a cattle ranch than face to face with a Holiday Inn steak, l'll eat his Stetson. 

Changes in the line up solidified the sound, made it more Stars and less a conglomerate of influences. At one stage you could hear a Stars bracket and play spot-the-influence easy as pie; an Eagles song succeeded by an Elvin Bishop song succeeded by a Doobies song. . . I remember doing it in the Bondi Lifesaver (although time may have mixed up the influences a little) one night in particular, because then-bassist Graham Thompson was playing his last gig with the band, and volubly pissed off about it, getting drunk and growling at me, the band and eventually total strangers. He was replaced by Roger McLachlan. Andy Durant joined up and his guitar playing, risky solos sounding like a man juggling knives, gave Stars a much fuller. gutsier sound.

And they've kept working solidly, refusing to give up despite the lack of general recognition. Their recent "Mighty Rock" single deserved to go a lot further than it did, a really good, solid rock song with a hook you could pick up a beef carcass with. Stars remind me of an Australian Sanford Townend Band. Solid musicianship, good lead and harmony vocals, excellent lead breaks, gutsy and neat, and a distinct lack of glitter, satin, smoke bombs and all the rest of the step-over
throw hold stage stuff.

They've now got a new single out ["Mighty Rock" Ed.], but the real buzz is about their forthcoming album. It's finished and reputed to be shit hot, and it's also being kept under wraps till January or February next year ['Paradise' Ed.]. 

Just before Christmas, (apparently), is not the time to launch promising new artists. (Aunts and Uncles will insist on sticking to Names They Know and buy the latest Queen and Rod Stewart for young Roderick or Jane).

Stars - Paradise (1977) plus Bonus Singles

 (Australian 1975 - 1980,  2019)

Adelaide band The Stars first came to prominence with Quick on the Draw produced by Beeb Birtles in 1976. Beeb along with rest of Little River Band were impressed with the Adelaide band and brought tapes back to Melbourne where they scored a contract with Mushroom records. The band sported a “cowboy” look wearing boots, checked shirts and cowboy hats. The band consisted of Mick Pealing (vocals), Mal Eastick (guitar), Glyn Dowding (drums) and Graham Thompson (bass).

After the success of their first single they added Andy Durant as a second guitarist. In 1977, they toured with Joe Cocker and in 1978, The Beach Boys and Linda Ronstadt.

Although not a teen band in the mould of Sherbet or Hush, The Stars appeared regularly on Countdown and scored a top 30 hit with the Andy Durant song “Mighty Rock”.

Andy Durant died on 6 May 1980 aged 25 from cancer. Later that year, Stars guitarist Mal Eastick organised the Andrew Durant memorial concert in Melbourne. The concert featured Stars, Jimmy Barnes, Rene Geyer, Richard Clapton and many more. The profits from the concert and sale of the double album went to The Andrew Durant Cancer Research Centre.

The band eventually disbanded in 1980, in respect to Durant's passing. Eastick joined Broderick Smith's Big Combo (1979–1982) and later provided guitar for different artists including Max Merritt and Jimmy Barnes. Pealing formed his own band Mick Pealing and the Ideals (1980–1981), and were also a backing band for Renée Geyer. He then formed The Spaniards (1983–1986) and worked with other artists including Eastick. McLachlan toured with Cliff Richard in 1978, worked with John Farnham (1987–1988), briefly rejoined Little River Band (1998–1999) and was a member of Mighty Rock with Pealing in 2004. Eastick performed in Sydney pubs and clubs 1987/88 and had the distinction of being sponsored by Jack Daniels.

Stars eventually re-formed in 2019, announcing a tour in November and December of that year.

Album Review
In a sense, Paradise is as epoch-marking as the Dingoes' first LP. They both just about sum up the Australian attempt to hit the mainstream of '70's country rock.

Country rock, natch, is a field dominated exclusively by American-groups which (natch again) leads to accusations of Oz-Band Music Apes Overseas Trend, which leads to the conclusion Australia Has No Valid Musical Identity.

But that's just not true. There was something uniquely, ruggedly Australian about the Dingoes first - a rough and ready outlaw charm that had the same sort of energy, but different musical feel, as the Confederate boogie of the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

 

There seemed no doubt the Dingoes could beat quite a few of them pesky Confederates at their own game. And sure enough they eventually got to America, and recorded a second album.

Unfortunately that second LP showed their musical cohesiveness was shot to pieces, and just about nothing has been heard of 'em since.

Ah, but the Dingoes were outlaws. Stars on the basis of this album and their smooth concert performances are professional marksmen. And they bag most of the targets they go for.

The current single "Look After Yourself" for instance seems one of those 'hey is that the Eagles or ....??' songs, except , halfway through you know it's not the Eagles or any other L.A band. The vocals are a little less slick, the harmonies a lot less choral, the guitar solo has an ingenuous bounce, that has nothing to do with the multi-tracked fulsomeness of Sunset Boulevard.

In fact, apart from Look After Yourself and the Life In The Fast Lane echoes in "Back Again", Stars steer clear of Sunset Boulevard all together. Their real meat is slow, sultry workouts on ballads such as "West Is The Way", "Jupiter Creek" and Ain't No Time For Cryin' ". "No Time For Cryin", by the way is from guitarist Mal Eastick, all other originals are from partner guitarist Andy Durant.

Durant concentrates on Australiana - either narrative as in Jupiter Creek or the romanticism of the Wild Oz Outdoors (Paradise & Song For The Road). He sure can pen fetching melodies and singer Mick Pealing can sure deliver 'em with clear, strong tones and mucho concentration on the lyrical mood.

Unhappily though, while aiming for the country rock midsection and retaining an Oz identity, the band are a bit too slow on the trigger for uptempo boogie. "Let's Get Moving" for instance is about an outlaw showdown with the phuzz, but it moves at the gentle pace of a picnic walk. "Mighty Rock" has a marvellous hookline but the rock backing is muted and Mick Pealing could be singing a grocery list, he sounds that excited about the energising power of rock 'n' roll. 

And then again, the live rendition of "Rocky Mountain Way" has gnashing, crashing guitars in the right places, but it doesn't sound nearly demented as Joe Walsh's original was. So for that matter was Joe's guitar solo on the "Hotel California" single.

And that's what Stars have to learn. At the moment they're hiding behind their music, which is fine for ballads and acceptable for medium-paced joggers. But if you wanna rock, you gotta sound demented, even if you're not.

Otherwise you'gotta stick with the softer side of Hip Easy Listening. As things stand, the one draw back to Stars is their own sensible sanity. [Review by Anthony O'Grady, RAM, March 10, 1978. p31]

This post consists of FLACs ripped from my CD and includes full artwork for both vinyl and CD.  I own the LP but thought a CD rip would be better received. The bonus tracks, two singles released in 1976 are of course ripped from my 45's.  If there is sufficient interest in this post, I will post their live album '1157'  in the near future.  I saw these guys play numerous times while they did the Melbourne Pub and Uni circuit in the late 70's, but was mostly impressed by the set they played at the 1977 Nightmoves Concert at the Palais Theatre in St.Kilda. Their rendition of "Rocky Mountain Way"was electrifying, and established Andy Durant as one of the finest guitarists in Australia. Hope you enjoy their debut album and as O'Grady comments above in his review, it stands out right next to the Dingoes' stalwart debut album.
