Diary of a 60's Cover Band
(Blog)
We have now added an incredible new song to our repertoire from one
of the most influential US psychedelic bands of the 60's, Vanilla
Fudge. It's their 1967 upside down version of the hit by the Supremes
"You
Keep Me Hanging On". Check it out!
Last year we added the astonishing song "Something
in the Air", recorded in 1969 by the one hit wonder
band Thunderclap Newman. They were put together by Pete Townsend
around a drug addled drummer (Speedy Keene) and an eccentric jazz
pianist (Thunderclap Newman). The song has a killer middle
instrumental section.
Our most requested song is "Everlovin' Man" by The
Loved Ones. We added this song
in 2006 in honour of the late great
Gerry Humphries. Dennis does the most astonishing version you've heard
bar the original. See him in action here.
Remember the 60's?
The 60's were an exciting, revolutionary, turbulent
time of great social and technological change: assassination,
unforgettable fashion, new musical styles, Camelot, civil rights,
women's liberation, a controversial and divisive war in Vietnam, the
first manned landing on the moon, peace marches, World's Fairs, flower
power, great TV and film and sexual freedom.
Please note:
The Substitutes are based in
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

"LIVE AT
CARNEGIE HALL" DVD - $20
.jpg)
HIGH QUALITY audio
and video live recording from July 17, 2010
|
|
Short
of a time warp, the closest you can get to experiencing
the power and shock of
‘60s rock
music is to see The Substitutes live in action.
The Substitutes have been
around for
over
five years recreating that ‘60s excitement and rawness
that often gets
lost with cover
bands. Listen to a Dave Davies guitar
solo or a Keith Moon drum roll and know that the
‘60s were about experimentation and risk taking, not
just good pop melodies.
With the gob smacking vocals and superb guitar work of
Dennis Millar (ex seminal 70's band Buster Brown),
the rock solid rhythm section of Pete Robinson
(ex The Strangers) and Peter Reed (ex New Dream,)
and the punk energy of Peter Summers (ex Strange Idols),
The Substitutes faithfully produce the sounds of the
'60s, just
like the record, but
with a spirit, a
dry humour and passion.
This DVD manages
to capture some truly great
moments from a performance that was recorded
at Carnegie Hall on July 17, 2010 to celebrate gig
number 200. Please
note that Carnegie Hall
(also known as the Abel Tasman Dutch Club) is
a hall in
Carnegie
,
Victoria
,
Australia

The Substitutes formed in 2005 and specialise in recreating the '60s excitement and rawness
that often gets lost with mere cover bands. Listen to a Dave Davies guitar solo or a Keith Moon
drum fill and know that the 60's were about experimentation and shock, not just good pop melodies.
With the gob smacking vocals and superb guitar work of Dennis Millar (ex seminal 70's band Buster
Brown), the rock solid rhythm section of Pete Robinson (ex The Strangers) and Peter Reed (ex New
Dream,) and the punk energy of Peter Summers (ex Strange Idols), The Substitutes faithfully produce
the sounds of the '60s, just like the record, but with
spirit, a dry humour and passion.
This DVD manages to capture some truly great live performances over a two year period but the
footage was filmed by a variety of roadies ('best endeavors!') and the sound mostly comes directly
from the camera. It nevertheless has some magic moments.
