Australian Crawl ‘Sirocco’ Turns 40 Australian Crawl’s second album ‘Sirocco’ has turned 40. The number one charting ‘Sirocco’ came a year after the Crawl debut ‘The Boys Light Up’. It sold around 300,000 copies in Australia earning 4x Platinum status.

James Reyne and Mark Seymour To Headline Valley Sounds James Reyne and Mark Seymour will headline the first Valley Sounds festival in the Yarra Valley in November. The acoustic music festival will also feature Ash Grunwald, Nick Barker and Tracy McNeil. James said of the all-new music festival “It’s exciting to see a brand new music event start up, given the difficult times the music industry has been through over the last 12 months – made all the more sweeter by the stunning surrounds of the Yarra Valley.” James Reyne’s 40th anniversary plans to mark the first Australian Crawl album went astray due to the pandemic. In the past year James would have been out performing the 40th anniversary of the release of ‘The Boys Light Up’. The first Australian Crawl album was released in April 1980.

Similar to the cast of colorful supporting characters in director Robert Connolly‘s depiction of rural Australia, as an audience, you’re suspicious of Aaron because Bana gives everyone so little. It’s a mystery Bana sells in the patient but a propulsive thriller, based on ....
