About
Origins of Oz Rock is a rock band for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Gritty riffs, big choruses, and a room full of people who know every word. Origins of Oz Rock goes back to the pubs and backyards where Australian rock got loud, with songs from the Easybeats, INXS, Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Little River Band, Dragon and the Hoodoo Gurus. Sydney performer Greg Byrne fronts it, and he's shared stages with Jimmy Barnes, INXS, Aerosmith, Billy Joel, Diesel and the Angels. A powerhouse band sits behind him. The line up runs four to five pieces and the band works functions, corporate nights, weddings and pubs, travelling out of Sydney where needed. Loud and proud is the whole idea.
Watch
The show
A wall to wall run through the Australian rock songbook, played by a band that treats it with respect rather than as a novelty. The Easybeats, INXS, The Angels, Cold Chisel, Dragon, Little River Band and Midnight Oil all get a look in. Greg Byrne fronts it, having played on bills alongside Jimmy Barnes, Aerosmith, Billy Joel and Diesel, along with INXS and The Angels themselves. Expect gritty guitar, big choruses and the particular moment where a room realises it knows every word. Loud, proud and a bit unpolished, which is exactly how this music was meant to sound.
