Kings Of The Sun

Any fans of these guys ? An Aussie band.
They opened for G-N-R - but I guess the singer got angry at Axl.
And that was all she wrote.
I think they have 3 releases out -
" Full Frontal Attack " is classic. Some great songs.
The drummer was really good. Keith Moon smash bash -
Drummer and Singer were brothers
They dug fast cars - loose living

Glad to hear them mentioned. They were indeed a great band. I discovered them when I found a cassette of theirs at a thrift shop and bought it. Didn't like it much at first because I wasn't attuned to this kind of music at the time, but it grew to be a favorite.

Beginning drum - sounds like a Civil war battle field at night !
They say those places are quite haunted - you can pick up voices - images -
Forget it during a full moon - love dies in the cold light of day - yeah

"I Crawl into her chamber - watch her - all alone
undressing by the window - it chills me to the bone -
Like a vampire - singing in the moonlight
Can you hear someone CRYING out your name ? "

I dug the "Full Frontal Attack" album... they were kind of an Aussie version of The Cult.

I vaguely remember these guys.

I'll have to revisit the lone album I have. After reading this discussion and a small sampling, I procured a copy of Full Frontal Attack for myself. Sounded like something I'd like. However, I played the album through a few times and nothing grabbed me, so I shelved it for the time being.

Maybe a fresh listen will unlock something I missed the first time around.

After the album was released Glenn Morris joined the band to play lead guitar
and the group toured around the United States and Europe.
They then returned to Australia in 1988
to open for Guns N' Roses,
but were quickly kicked out of the tour
after Clifford Hoad "dropped his pants in front of the audience
and bad-mouthed Guns N' Roses publicly".
There had also been some tension due to a remark Hoad made
in an interview for the Australian
'On the Street' magazine, where he claimed that Guns N' Roses
took much of their image from Rose Tattoo.
Years later Hoad responded to this by stating
"When I said those things, I meant them".
