Yes it’s true. Rock fans everywhere rejoice. The Angels are back!
It was a decade ago that seminal Australian rock band The Angels decided tocall it a day. Their charismatic frontman, Doc Neeson, was involved in a horrific car accident that prevented him from performing for several years but after rehabilitation he went on to form Doc Neeson’s Angels. The rest of the band continued to perform as The Angels Band. In August 2007 tensions boiled over between the two parties and the The Angels court case was splashed across newspapers throughout Australia
Now, after months of mediation the former band mates have decided to
reunite, and to the delight of music lovers everywhere, reform as the
original line-up of Doc Neeson (Lead Vocals), John Brewster (Rhythm Guitar,b/v), Rick Brewster (Lead guitar), Chris Bailey (Bass, b/v) and Graham “Buzz” Bidstrup (Drums).
On the June 27 The Angels will headline the 30th Anniversary
Golden Stave Foundation Charity Luncheon at the Hordern Pavilion. The Golden Stave has raised over $10 million for children’s charities since 1978. The Angels will then hit the road on the Face to Face 30th Anniversary Tour. This 20-date run across the nation will revisit the venues and shows that made them a household name:
