Delivering raucous hard rock in the tradition of contemporaries like AC/DC and
Rose Tattoo, the Angels were among the longest-lasting and most beloved
bands ever to emerge from the Australian pub circuit. Their roots date
back to 1973, when singer Doc Neeson and guitarist Rick Brewster first
teamed at university in an eccentric acoustic covers group dubbed the
Moonshine Jug and String Band; by the following year they began adopting
a more straightforward and electric approach, rechristening themselves
the Keystone Angels in the process. Soon abbreviated to simply the
Angels, their original lineup consisted of Neeson (nicknamed the "Mad
Irishman" in honor of his crazed behavior on- and off-stage) and
Brewster, along with the latter's brother John on guitar and drummer
Graham "Buzz Throckman" Bidstrup.
In 1976, the Angels were discovered by AC/DC's Angus Young and Bon Scott, and soon entered the studio to
record their debut single, "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again," a
major hit. With the addition of bassist Chris Bailey (not to be confused
with the Saints' frontman), a tour opening for AC/DC followed, and in
1977, the Angels' eponymously titled debut LP appeared to enormous
success. A second album, Face to Face, appeared in 1978 and preceded a
national headlining tour; after 1979's No Exit became an even bigger
hit, the group toured the U.S. and Canada, renamed Angel City for the
Northern Hemisphere to avoid confusion with the glam band Angel. (To
further complicate matters, a handful of releases later appeared
credited to "the Angels from Angel City," the constant fluctuations no
doubt contributing to their lack of success overseas.)
After just three LPs, the Angels issued their first Greatest Hits collection in
1979; with their next studio album, 1980's moody Darkroom, they scored
their first Australian number one hit, "No Secrets." The record also
featured the track "Face the Day," later covered by Great White. At the
end of the year, the Angels headlined a free concert at the Sydney Opera
House that ended in rioting, prompting a government ban on outdoor
concerts; undaunted, the Angels opened in America for the Kinks, then
returned home to begin work on their next album, Night Attack, their
first outing with new drummer Brent Eccles. A subsequent tour exchanged
Bailey for bassist Jim Hilbun, and was followed in 1983 by the odd,
experimental Watch the Red. Two Minute Warning — a concept record
exploring nuclear devastation — was recorded in Los Angeles and issued a
year later.
Upon returning to Australia, founding member John Brewster exited, and was replaced by ex-Skyhooks guitarist Bob Spencer.
Howling followed in 1986, launching the hit singles "Don't Waste My
Time" and "Nature of the Beast"; in support of the record, the Angels
mounted a 16-month tour that yielded the double concert LP Liveline in
1988. With new bassist James Morley, they next traveled to Memphis to
record 1990's chart-topping Beyond Salvation, which notched four Top Ten
singles — "Let the Night Roll On," "Back Street Pick-Up," "Rhythm Rude
Girl," and "Dogs Are Talking." After 1991's Red Back Fever, both Spencer
and Morley departed for solo careers late the next year, opening the
door for the return of Hilbun and John Brewster. However, record company
problems then kept the Angels from recording new material for several
years; finally, in 1996, they issued their comeback single "Call That
Living," which returned them to the Top Ten. Skin & Bone followed in
1998. The group disbanded at the close of the '90s following Doc
Neeson's injury in a car accident; however, Neeson joined a re-formed
Angels in the spring of 2008, and the reunited group played a series of
shows during the summer of that year.
