Hey Guys,

I was just checking the Rage website and found that there will be a Skyhooks
special on it this weekend. 

There's also a long Hooks bio there, from which i've extracted some
interesting Oils related stuff and attached below.

Later,
Vince

"Skyhooks could of easily disbanded then and there (in 1978). Greg Macainsh
felt there was life in the band yet and took Shirls departure as a
challenge. He wouldn't even try to fill Shirls shoes,no one could. Several
ideas were thrown about,a female lead singer (remember this IS the man who
proudly wore a Suzi Quatro fan club tshirt).....poaching Peter Garrett from
Midnight Oil...."

"In April 1983 the band assembled for a press conference,announcing it would
play a Festival in Noosa. Midnight Oil were on the bill and acknowledged the
Skyhooks legacy by saying the 'Hooks were the only Australian band they
would let top the bill above them."
