I saw Wildland give a great show at The Great Northern Hotel one time (the same place I saw Girl Overboard - see Episode 2). The bass player, Dorian West was my trumpet teacher when I was at High School. Although Wildland only ever had one album, the members have all been in tons of other bands over the years. Sadly I can't find anywhere to buy their album these days - I am lucky enough to have a copy of the CD autographed by the whole band. Each show we will feature a grab from a favourite song. The criteria for the song selection is this: Must be an Australian band, and preferably from Sydney Must be from the 1980's Must be a band we have seen live Questions? Please contact Craig Bailey. |
