Little River Band
Little River Band was the first Australian band to successfully conquer foreign markets from an Australian base.
Within eight months of their birth, LRB had already scored three Australian Top 20 singles and two Top Ten albums. In 1976, after their self-titled debut album was released in the USA, the long grind of 13 US tours in eight years had begun.

The Ten Tenors - The Power of Ten
When ten young opera students from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane, Australia, banded together to form what was then largely a corporate act, the group’s performances were few and far between and were essentially just a part-time affair, providing the members with a bit of money to help them through their studies.
“We joke about it now, but back in the day, The Ten Tenors was really just a fun way to earn a bit of extra beer money”, remarks Matthew Hickey, Producer and original group member. “It was all very informal and we could never understand why people would hire us to essentially fool around onstage”.
Indeed, it was exactly those hi-jinks that essentially became the secret of much of The Ten Tenors’ future success.
