Barnesy recalls the early days in Adelaide when Cold Chisel did gigs with the band then known as the Keystone Angels. He saw them become one of the greatest Australian bands of all time.<\/p>\n<p>John Brewster gave us a call to catch up and to talk about all things happening, books, albums, tours, so much going on for The Angels, so check out what\u2019s coming up\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>We chatted at the beginning of the year, so let&#8217;s catch up, how have the last 7 months been?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s been pretty crazy you know with finishing the book and it\u2019s great to have that out now, and we\u2019ve been recording some stuff including putting together the double album that Liberation will be releasing, which included working on six tracks that were recorded at the Adelaide festival theatre in 2010 with the line-up of Bidstrup, Bailey and Doc Neeson, Rick and me with a Symphony orchestra. So that was quite a project, so yeah we\u2019re always busy *laughs*.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When we spoke you were just finishing the book and now it hits next week. Tell us a bit about what people can expect from &#8216;The Angels&#8217; book.\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nThe story basically, and I think it\u2019s a pretty balanced story we don\u2019t get into too much stuff I mean being in a band is not necessarily an easy experience,\u00a0 a lot of things happen over the years but it\u2019s basically a pretty positive tale of how the whole thing started in the first place and what we sort of had to go through to try and sort of get somewhere and build up some sort of career and it\u2019s something that\u2019s obviously been an amazing journey for us and I think we\u2019ve represented that journey pretty well. Bob Yates was incredibly diligent in tracking down people who worked with the band forty years ago and getting their side of the story and I think any tale of a band and in many ways a lot of the most exciting times I suppose is when the band\u2019s gone from nowhere to somewhere, the early days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After just over forty three years in the business why was now the right time for a book?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell because we\u2019ve been forty three years in the business *laughs* I mean the thing is well you know it\u2019s a large book because it\u2019s large career and a lot has happened over the years and obviously it\u2019s a time when there\u2019s been great sadness over the last few years losing Chris Bailey and Doc Neseon was a great tragedy and nothing that unusual, so many bands have lost members that\u2019s life you know. We just felt that it was time to tell the story before we forget the thing you know? *laughs*<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any stories you left out on purpose? <\/strong><br \/>\nThere are always stories you leave out on purpose *laughs* I mean I think it\u2019s a really balanced story but there are some things we\u2019d prefer to keep private although we\u2019ve been pretty frank about stuff that we used to get into back in the days, drugs and alcohol were certainly a factor in our band.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To coincide there&#8217;s also a double album called &#8216;Brothers &#8211; Angels and Demons&#8217; of 36 tracks. Talk us through putting the tracks together and how you chose what has become the album.\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nWell it\u2019s two different albums, it\u2019s two CD\u2019s. One was actually kind of driven by Liberation and sort of a little bit of it came about because we did an intimate concert at the Foxtel studios of January of last year and in that concert we actually reformed the original Moonshine Jug &amp; String band which is actually the band that started, Doc Neeson wasn\u2019t actually the original in that band he joined about a year later, but all those guys are still around so we did a bit of a Moonshine Jug &amp; String band set, and then we followed it up with Brewster Brothers, Rick and me and my three sons, Sam, Tom and Harry which was crazy it\u2019s like a Partridge Family I suppose *laughs\u00a0 but it was fantastic, those songs, those Brewster Brothers songs we\u2019d written at a time when Doc Neeson had left the band and we really didn\u2019t know if we had an Angels career anymore we started writing songs for ourselves, for me to sing in my kind of funny way. So that\u2019s represented on this album and of course in studio stuff that we\u2019ve done with Dave Gleeson, actually a couple of live things as well. The second CD is all Doc except for one song that Jim Hilburn sings, but we chose songs for that second CD that aren\u2019t necessarily the hits because there\u2019s been a lot of greatest hits compilations that have gone out over the years and they\u2019re fantastic,\u00a0 but songs you won\u2019t find on those records, like \u2018Skid Row After Dark\u2019 which I think is one of our greatest songs, \u2018Shoot It Up\u2019 which I love from the \u2018Watch The Red\u2019 album, of course the six Symphony of Angels songs that I was telling you about earlier which include Rick on the Hammond B3 with the Adelaide orchestra doing \u2018Dawn Is Breaking\u2019, we did \u2018Love Takes Care\u2019 more acoustic with the symphony players and I was pretty excited about it actually because I spent a lot of time in the studio just piecing this together. There were actually some moments where Doc had forgotten the words but we found that he remembered the vocal in sound check so we\u2019re lifting his vocal out of sound check and putting in to the performance and it all worked pretty well. *laughs*<\/p>\n<p><strong>And to round out the trio of awesomeness you&#8217;re heading out on a run of shows. Can you tell us how these shows are looking to shape up?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah well we\u2019re starting to talk about those shows and what we\u2019re going to play and how we\u2019re going to represent the band, I mean it\u2019s exciting to us to have special guests with us like Diesel who\u2019s doing The Enmore theatre with us, we\u2019ve got Rose Tattoo, ironically Bob Spencer is joining Rose Tattoo for those gigs and I think that will be a really great thing for the band actually, we love the Tatts they\u2019re got great songs. Last year we rekindled a friendship with Mi-Sex and they came on the road with us and with Steve Balbi singing we just thought the band was fantastic, so we\u2019ve asked them to join us for some of the shows. Johnny Kannis and the Hitmen who go way back with from the early days in the band and he credits us with introducing The Hitmen to the suburbs and of course Mark Opitz discovered them and he worked with us and he recorded their first album. So there\u2019s a bit of history there and I guess that\u2019s what this is all about, it\u2019s all about people who\u2019s been around the band in the past and currently and I think we\u2019re gonna put on a great show. I know we\u2019re gonna put on a great show *laughs*.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s jump back to the band, &#8216;Face to Face&#8217; is about to turn 40! Are there any plans for a bit of a celebration?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell we haven\u2019t actually got any plans at the moment but believe me we will do something for sure because it\u2019s an absolute milestone and that album changed our whole life, and I reckon it still sounds as great today as it ever did, so yeah I guess it\u2019s one step at a time, at the moment we\u2019re dealing with what\u2019s going on around the book and the upcoming tour, I should also mention we\u2019re doing what we\u2019re calling a book tour prior to The Angels going out on the road, which is Rick and me and our ex lighting designer or director call him what you like Raymond Hawkins who is one of the greatest lighting guys this country has ever seen and I mean the light show that we used to put into pubs was unbelievable. So he\u2019s gonna be our MC, he\u2019s very entertaining *laughs* so we\u2019re going to do intimate venues like in Sydney The Brass Monkey and The Leadbelly gig, Lizotte\u2019s up at Newcastle and Rick and I will have our instruments, we\u2019ll play some music and people in the audience can ask us questions and there\u2019ll be a bit of a chat going on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It seems like you&#8217;re busier now more than ever, how is it being in The Angels in 2017?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s fantastic, who\u2019d have thought it? What we started doing way back in the 70\u2019s was kind of something that we wanted to do through our life and we\u2019ve actually proved it that we can do it through our life and Rick and I are doing pretty well we\u2019re the old guys in the band, we\u2019ve got young people in my son Sam on bass who\u2019s just unbelievable and then Nick Norton on the drums who both guys are in their mid-thirties and they\u2019re incredible players, Dave Gleeson of course, what can I say about Dave? Wonderful frontman, great singer, I\u2019m proud of the new songs that we\u2019ve done with the band, I think that\u2019s a really important thing for us to continue to create new music. I mean what a career I mean as I\u2019m talking to you I\u2019m probably sounding excited because I kind of am, I think to still be doing it and not feeling like we\u2019re just going through the motions, we\u2019re playing with as much passion as we ever did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So how if in any way does the creative process differ now from your beginnings?<\/strong><br \/>\nYeah it\u2019s a bit different, like in the old days Rick and I would write a lot of stuff in cars going to gigs these days it\u2019s all changed but we\u2019re encouraging the other guys in the band to also get involved in the song writing process, like my son Sam comes up with some ideas, Nick Norton is an amazing songwriter, great lyricist, and Dave Gleeson, we\u2019ve discovered a lyricist in Dave Gleeson he wrote almost nothing in The Screaming Jets but we\u2019ve got him to write quite a few songs with us, the lyrics I should say not so much the music. Rick and I just have this overview of it if you like and we produce the music but we\u2019re really encouraging all the other guys in the band to write, and perhaps in the old days it wasn\u2019t like that, Rick and I and Doc of course we had our vision and it was a bit hard to break into that, so it\u2019s good, it\u2019s really good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So last time we chatted we predicted what would happen by the end of the year so let&#8217;s look ahead even further. So in 2018 The Angels will&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nWell we\u2019ll be out there again, we\u2019ll be celebrating the \u2018Face To Face\u2019 album, at the beginning of the year we\u2019ll be doing eleven shows at the Red Hot Summer tour out there in more of the regional areas and they\u2019re fantastic gigs, so there\u2019s eleven of those at the beginning of the year. Then later in the year we may even do another symphony thing. We can\u2019t talk beyond that because I wouldn\u2019t know *laughs* all I know is that we\u2019ve have great meetings with our agent and we talk about ideas on how we\u2019ll present the band for various tours etc and some stuff is still in the works we don\u2019t want to get ahead of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>RICK &amp; JOHN BREWSTER presents\u00a0<\/strong><em><strong>THE
