In
the beginning, there was the word.
And the word was... HENDRIX.
On the other side of the Atlantic was another word... CLAPTON.
And another - PAGE.
And yet another... BECK.
The list goes on...
In the 60's, a
wave of guitar mania swept the world, fuelled by the electric
screamings of gifted artists whose worlds had been opened by the
advent of high quality guitars and amplifiers that had previously
been unheard of. Bands like Cream, The Jimi Hendrix
Experience and The Yardbirds inspired youngsters all over
the world to pick up an axe and follow their dreams, and the music
world was never to be the same again.
Australia was no exception, and it wasn't long before the land
downunder was reverberating to the sounds of The Easybeats,
The Aztecs and countless other Antipodean rockers emulating
their heroes.
As time went on, Australian bands and artists
started to develop their own sounds, and today Australian music
ranks with the best in the world. Like the rest of their
Aussie brothers, WA musicians have produced some
stunning music, and the depth of WA guitar talent is enormous,
having reached audiences nationally and internationally. |
