Someloves ~ It’s My Time

Let me start off things with a great single which was the first for this part time combo. The band consisted of Dom Mariani (Vocals/Guitar), Gary Chambers (Drums) both from one of Australia’s best garage bands The Stems. Daryl Mather (Guitar/Vocals) from a great garage band called The Lime Spiders and Christian Houllemare (Bass) from a band called the Happy Hate Me Nots. These guys share a love for all things power pop and decided to cut a single together when the Stems where touring the east coast of Australia (The Stems are from the west coast) and found some spare time. The single took quite some time to record as parts where recorded in at least 3 different studios in Sydney during 1985.

This is an excellent jangly guitar pop song worth tracking down if you can (only about 1000 copies pressed) but you can also find it on an upcoming Someloves CD compilation which includes both sides of this single and their debut album plus bonus tracks. You can hear it here first ~ enjoy

Welcome Power Poppers :)

Welcome to my blog covering Australian Power Pop bands circa 1975 to 1995.

I have been collecting world-wide Power Pop bands for over 25 years and have a very large collection on hand. After communicating with people all over the world for some years I have found that not a lot of people have heard much Australian Power Pop music (especially the hard to get releases). Over the coming months I will be releasing 3 compilation CDs containing some of the rarest Power Pop bands from Australia, some of which I will preview here on this blog. These CDs will be available to buy from various sources via the internet but more on that when I finally get them pressed. Until then you can check back every now and then for updates and various samples from the CDs.

Until then ~ Sunny Daze
