About this audiobook
Imagine stepping into a packed Australian pub in the mid-1970s and the late 1980s - the heyday of the pub-rock music scene - where the air was thick with the unmistakable scent of beer, sweat and pot, and the atmosphere was electrifying. Doc Neeson, charismatic lead singer of The Angels, famously captured this raw energy when he quipped, 'I know you're out there. I can smell you!'
Australian pubs were then the epicentre of a musical revolution soundtracked by a heady mix of growling guitars, thumping bass, pounding drums and adoring fans. This golden era gave birth to some of the country's most iconic and beloved rock music - and Graham 'Buzz' Bidstrup was at the heart of it all.
In No Secrets, Buzz recounts his journey from his first drum kit to becoming a powerhouse drummer, session musician, songwriter, producer and manager. An original member of The Angels/Angel City, GANGgajang and The Party Boys, he's also made music with a who's who of rock royalty including Jimmy Barnes, Mondo Rock, Australian Crawl, Richard Clapton, Don Walker's Catfish, Swanee, The Stetsons and even Tiny Tim. Buzz managed and produced albums for young artists like Nathan Cavaleri and Diana Anaid, The Numbers and The Riptides, and spent a life-changing thirteen years managing and producing the legendary Indigenous entertainer Jimmy Little AO.
Navigating the complexities of artist management, royalty disputes and the music industry's drug culture, No Secrets offers an insider's perspective on band dynamics and the realities of life on the road. From sharing the stage with mates to touring alongside David Bowie, The Kinks, and Cheap Trick, Buzz eloquently describes how the journey to stardom can often descend into struggles with egos, unfulfilled dreams and personal challenges.
