DV8s Amazing Night To Remember . . . All Over Again
Newcastle Live – Sat April 1, Belmont 16s
It’s not often that you get to re-live a specific and significant moment of time in history. But come this April, that’s exactly what will happen.
The Background
2000 punters screaming, sweating and dancing to legendary Newcastle band DV8 was a scene you could find at a host of venues across the Hunter and beyond back in the 80’s.
Newcastle was alive with bands, venues and punters all living for the music.
And DV8 were the cream of local talent.
Songs like ‘I Want Your Body’, ‘Back To Basics, ‘Dry Your Eyes’ and ‘Darby St. Blues’ came to define the Newcastle rock sound at a time when hordes of music-loving punters packed into pubs and clubs to experience the DV8 phenomenon.
Big On Energetic Guitar-Based Rock
Formed out the ashes of Meccalissa, following in the footsteps of bands like Rabbit and The Heroes and paving the way for the likes of The Screaming Jets and silverchair, DV8 knew, as journalist Scott Bevan wrote at the time, “exactly what the average pub-goer was looking for in a band….an act that was low on pretense but big on energetic guitar-based rock.”
Comprising lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Greg Bryce, bass player Mark Middleton and drummer Brad Heaney, who later went on to join The Screaming Jets, DV8 were the consummate power trio. Their riff-driven brand of rock, injected with thundering rhythms and irresistible melodies, was genuinely loved by thousands of Hunter punters who flocked to their shows and propelled their numerous singles and albums into the charts.
The Concert Gets Captured
One of those albums was the 1987 classic DV8 Live! Recorded over two heady nights at Belmont 16s in April of that year, the double album showcases the raw energy and rock and roll assault that the band delivered. But there’s more!
The event was also captured on film, with a throng of sweaty, adoring fans pushing the band to greater heights as the concert continued.
Now, remastered on DVD for the first time, DV8 are about to hit the stage again almost 30 years to the day after that landmark weekend to launch this digital reincarnation at the same venue. It is not just a concert but a wonderful record of the times.
It’s a milestone event for Bryce who says that “ I was really proud of that moment in time. It was really us at the peak of our powers as a band and to have it recorded so beautifully by Kevin Shirley is an amazing thing. I’m really grateful and excited to celebrate 30 years since that night knowing that the band is still an incredible band to play in. It’ll be so much fun.”
The Seed Of Something Special Happening
While Newcastle Live was speaking with Bryce, he revealed something else that not many people would know . . .
“That night back in April 1987 wasn’t just a celebration of DV8 – there was something else going on. First of all, it was all being recorded by Kevin Shirley who has since gone to record silverchair, The Screaming Jets and many huge acts including Led Zeppelin and Joe Bonamassa. In the band, we had Brad Heaney on drums. The support band was The Embers – their bass player was Paul Woseen. And in the audience, as if by some divine force, was one Grant Walmsley celebrating his 18th birthday. Three of these four people went on to become key members of The Screaming Jets and the fourth, Kevin Shirley, went on to record both the Jets and silverchair. It was like the coming of age of Newcastle rock – like the seed of something special happening that night, right there in that moment, which would change history and take Newcastle music to the world. Amazing!”
The Show!
Since those days, Bryce has performed thousands of gigs solo and in a variety of combos including the respected roots/folk trio Jigzag. His songs have appeared on platinum albums by fellow Novocastrians The Screaming Jets.
Which brings him nicely to yet another huge musical accomplishment – the 30thAnniversary of that magic DV8 Live! show back in 1987 and the launch of that show on DVD.
Bryce will be joined on stage by original (and current) bass player Mark Middleton and the dynamic Travis Suprano on drums as well as special guest, Grant Walmsley from The Screaming Jets.
It will be a hell of a show.
Don’t miss DV8 Live! All over again at Belmont 16s, Saturday April 1, 2017!

Dave Graney n' the Coral Snakes were THE stand alone act in Australia during the 90s. Nobody stood near them. They cut through with wit, flash and weirdness and flew their freak flag for four albums while Dave Graney used street slang and literate word bombs to fully state his case. Due to popular demand the band bring it all back to Sydney for one night only.

MUD MORGANFIELD (US)
In 1954, the eldest son of Blues great Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield) was born. Mud Morganfield grew up surrounded by music, particularly the Blues, and played music all of his life; starting with the drums his dad gave him as a child, then moving on to the bass guitar.
Possessing a baritone voice very much like his father's, and blessed with similar vocal phrasing and a sense of how to command a stage, Morganfield has became a popular draw on the Blues club and festival circuit; mixing both original songs and Muddy Waters classics into his live sets.

A Day on the Green
The Living End Bring Tour to Newcastle
Aussie legends, The Living End are headed to The Cambridge Hotel on Friday, March 10 2017 as part of their Staring Down The Highway Tour.
Having released their ARIA # 5 album Shift in May; levelling their sold out major city national Shift tour; performing on the at the 2016 AFL Grand Final; headlining festivals around the country; and scoring nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Australian Live Act at this year’s ARIA Awards – so far it has been a year in which the kings of Australian rock reclaimed their throne after a five-year hiatus after their 2011 ARIA-Award winning album, The Ending Is Just The Beginning Repeating.
There is no rest in sight, the band are set to roll on into 2017 hitting regional areas of Australia for their Staring Down The Highway Tour, starting in March. These regional shows will see the band play a series of mediums-sized venues and clubs, allowing fans the chance to see them play some of their most intimate shows in years.
They will be supported by Australia’s premier Psychedelic Reggae Ska Doom Metal Punk Rock band From Hell and triple j faves The Bennies, who will bring a whole-new brand of punk rock energy and exuberance to the stage, sure to wow TLE fans with their high-flying antics. Having previously supported punk heavyweights like NOFX AND Rancid, they’re no strangers to playing with punk rock royalty, and they’re set to claim another picture card when they head out with The Living End in March.
To coincide with the tour announce, the band have also released the brand-new video for their latest single ‘Staring Down The Barrel.’
Jimmy Barnes brings ‘Stories & Songs’ to Newcastle
After setting a record with his fifteenth number 1, Jimmy Barnes brings The Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories & Songs tour to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre in March.
The Working Class Boy audiobook was written and read by Jimmy Barnes and recorded at his home studio and is only available as a digital download from his website (ie: not from any other online stores) here. Click here to listen to a sample.
Since its release, the hard cover version of Working Class Boy has struck a profound chord with both critics and the Australian public. It spent seven weeks at #1 on the national Bookscan charts ending the 10-week reign of mega-authors JK Rowling and Andy Griffiths and was the No. 1 adult title in 2016.
The next shows on the Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories & Songs tour take Jimmy back to Tasmania for two sold out shows in Launceston as well as a Hobart date which is also close to selling out. From there Jimmy heads across the ditch for 10 shows in New Zealand
THE SHOW
Civic Theatre Newcastle – March 23
The ‘Stories & Songs’ shows see Jimmy Barnes, surrounded on stage by his children Mahalia and Jackie and son-in-law Ben Rodgers, bring the book to life, while baring his heart and soul. The shows have received unanimous rave reviews including:
“A powerful, deeply emotional and transformative production” – The Daily Telegraph
“A sophisticated and very moving piece of storytelling” – The Daily Review
“… anyone seeking an emotional, dark, funny, exciting theatrical event — and a powerful singer still in great voice — will be thrilled” – Sunday Mail SA
“You know you’ve been to a pretty good gig when the songs of your youth are redefined. That is just what this old Cold Chisel fan is feeling right now after spending a wonderful 150 minutes listening to Australian rock great Jimmy Barnes tell his life story with yarns and song” – The West Australian
Best Cabaret Production of 2016
Working Class Boy: An Evening of Stories & Songs has been nominated for Best Cabaret Production in the 2016 Sydney Theatre Awards for Jimmy’s sold out performance at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall. In another first, Jimmy’s son, David Campbell, is also nominated making it the first time a father and son have been nominated for Sydney Theatre Awards in the same year. The Sydney Theatre Awards are being held tonight at the York Theatre, Seymour Centre.
