What’s The Rockbrat Listening To Today ? KINGS OF THE SUN – Daddy Was A Hobo Man (2011)
Posted: May 16, 2011 by Cowboy Col in What's The Rockbrat Listening To Today ?Tags: Cliff Hoad, Clifford Hoad, Daddy Was A Hobo Man, Jeff Hoad, Kings Of The Sun, The Rich & Famous
I’m of the opinion that Michael Monroe’s current album, ‘Sensory Overdrive’ is THE album of 2011. Having said that though, this new album from Kings Of The Sun (KOTS) runs a very close second. This album was recorded in the late 90’s and is only seeing the light of day in 2011. The landscape for [...]

As a gig goer and hard rock/ heavy rock fan in Sydney in the 1980s, I saw guitarist Jed Starr on dozens of occasions in different bands. All great. I haven’t seen (or heard about) Jed Starr since 2002, and I’d be interested to know of his current musical activities if any. Jed certainly had [...]
Classic Album From The Rockbrat Collection: KINGS OF THE SUN – Resurrection (1993)
Posted: May 10, 2011 by Cowboy Col in Classic Album From The Rockbrat Collection:Tags: Cliff Hoad, Jeff Hoad, Kings Of The Sun, Resurrection
If ever an album deserved to be included in a column dedicated to neglected music, then it’s definitely this one. The mighty Kings Of The Sun have been around for over ten years now, and for mine, this release ranks as their best. The Kings play hard driving, southern rock n roll with an Australian flavour, [...]

We here at Rockbrat were big fans of Kings Of The Sun. If you were around in the late 80’s, you may remember their two amazing albums, their self titled effort from 88 and the follow up, ‘Full Frontal Attack’. The fact that they were from Australia made it even better. This band were as [...]

On the 17th of December, 1988, Rockbrat saw Guns ‘n’ Roses play at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. We got to experience the antics of Billy Bailey (aka Axl Rose) in all his glory. On this particular night, the ‘bad boys’ of the L.A rock scene had two quality Australian bands supporting them, Kings of the [...]
Lifting The Lid On The Rockbrat Treasure Chest: Candy Harlots gig ad (1988)
Posted: August 15, 2010 by rockbrat in Lifting The Lid On The Rockbrat Treasure Chest:Tags: Candy Harlots, Kings Of The Sun
I can recall this gig like yesterday. Mainly because it was an outdoor event and it was the only time I saw the Candy Harlots perform under the blazing sun ! The band were accustomed to early a.m show starts at the Kardomah and the like, so this must’ve been a rare one ! I remember [...]
