Title: Musical question for the Aussies...
Post by: PaulVS on March 21, 2008, 09:36:40 AM

I happened to stumble across this video the other day...

Choirboys - With The Big Boys Now (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOYgIm9XCTo)

I remember seeing this video in the early days of MTV, and was pretty impressed with the lead guitarist.  (Check out the solo in the vid)  I believe his name was Brad Carr (?)

I don't think we ever heard from them again here in the US...  I believe they were from OZ, but just curious if the guitar player was well-known down under or anything ever became of the band.

Hey Paul, yeah I kinda liked their music too, had their ablum Big Bad Noise, (Friggin ex has got my whole collection) They kinda faded away as a band. I still have the odd connection to the rock in roll industry, will ask around.
