We thought we'd upload something a little different for the start of this New Year (2025) and present a mini-series of Aussie Classic Pub Rock Songs. We've chosen songs that was popular in the heyday of the Australian music scene of the 1970's/1980's which have now become Aussie Classics.

Although the songs are some 40 to 50 years old, these songs have been able to maintain relevance as they have become some of the most iconic pub rock songs in Australian music history and permanently etched into the Australian psyche/culture. These songs can still often be heard on old folks radio stations, in movies, on television/social media/streaming sites and at pubs and live music venues present day as they have become standard Aussie classic tunes.

We had pre-recorded half a dozen Aussie Classic songs over a year and a half ago in July 2023 which we are now presenting as the "Aussie 6 Pack" series. We hope that you'll enjoy them as much as we had enjoyed learning and recording them.

For those who are not familiar with our YouTube Channel, below is our spiel.

We are twins (Nathaniel & Sebastian) and we both play drums & guitar. Sebastian is the lefty although he plays the drums right handed as he couldn't be bother swapping over the drum kit every time Nathaniel had played with it. During the pandemic lockdown we decided to learn some songs so that we could learn to play together for the first time along with our dad who is on bass. As the lockdown period grew, so did our song list. In the end we had learnt about 100 songs so we decided to video our playing together and to create a YouTube Channel so that we have an audio visual record of our musical journey during this most difficult period in our lives and turning it into a positive.

We had recorded most of the songs that we had learnt over a one month period in May/June 2022, thus the playing in our videos are far from perfect as each song were recorded in no more than 2 takes. For us, it was simply to have on record all the songs that we had learnt over the period rather than having just a selective few well executed songs from our set list. It was about capturing a moment in time in our lives that we can happily look back on.

There are going to be bum notes and out of sync playing in some of our videos, however this truly reflects our individual skill level and command of our instruments at the time of these recordings. Thus, our videos are revealed warts and all with no audio / visual corrections or overdubs as all the videos are composed from just one continuous video take. Also the sound quality on some of the videos are a bit dodgy so you may want to turn down the volume on some of our videos as we have no experience in capturing live audio recording of our playing with the backing track. However, we went to town with the visuals and video editing mucking around with the array of effects that was on offer in the video editor to make our videos a little more entertaining.

We have enough recordings to upload a new video onto our YouTube Channel each week and we will continue to learn more songs so do Subscribe to our Channel if you want to continue watching our new video uploads.

We hope that you enjoy our videos.
