Divinyls comeback: would it be possible?

[Jerome]

I think the Rockwiz episode featuring Chrissie and Chris Cheney from TLH is on SBS this weekend.

Also worth finding is the Aussie Rock Revival DVD set featuring Thorpy at Sunbury and the Divinyls and Rose Tattoo at Boggo Road Jail, from about 93.

They do a rendition of Stray Cat Blues on that particular episode. I seen it a while ago.

There is a DVD I cant find from 93 called Jailhouse Rock, it could be that one.

I would love an Aussie 80's Rock reunion/revival tour, I know there is the countdown, but great bands who never appeared on Countdown such as the Oils would take part. You'll have your Divinyls, your Oils, your Tattoos, your Guru's, your Models, and what have you.

There are a bunch of kids out there who are rediscovering these great bands, and us, who knew, love and grew up with the music.

I went to Jailhouse Rock at Boggo Road. Was a full on event, heaps of security as you'd expect but still the obligatory joints doing the rounds and topless women on shoulders. The public toilets were actually inside the individual cells and the place got a bit spooky after dark. The girls at the women's prison were screaming out of their windows in the background and Angry was yelling out to them.

Billy Thorpe was there as well and rocked the place down. For the finale, Thorpe, Tattoo and the Divinyls all rocked together. During the day bands like Ratcat and I'm even thinking Powderfinger were there.

Would love to see the DVD.

You can bet that Chrissy would sing "I'll Make You Happy" and that they would open the set with "Boys In Town".

Great band. One of my favourites growing up.

I thought love was science fiction,
until I saw you today.
Now that love is my addiction,
I've thrown all my books away.

Sounds awesome. Try http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/788659 or http://www.umbrellaent.com.au/listing.html to buy the DVD's. All 3 for $20 is a freakin' steal!

Thanks for the link. Pity there isn't a disc with all the highlights from Jailhouse Rock and not just the Divinyls stuff.

I have found a lot of people thought that Kylie Minogue did this song. Strange but I could see her singing that song. There was a video for this song too. I dont think there is an official Divinyls DVD of their promo clips, that should have accompanied the recent Greatest Hits CD release.
