Australian Blues Band Chain has and still is going strong since 1968. We have many Albums available and specialized cd's from the band. The band has had 34 line-ups in it's career, but 3or 4 of those have been the mainstays, including myself on drums (Lil Goos), Big Goose on bass, Dirk Dubois on Bass, Phil Manning on Guitar, Greg Lawrie on Guitar, Warren Morgan on Piano and Matt Taylor on Vocals and Harmonica. There have been four main tages of the band's development in it's career

Why this name?

The band was named by Australian Blues Singer, Wendy Saddington, after the song "Chain of Fools" by Aretha Franklin.

Do you play live?

We play live all over Australia, hoping to be expanded to Europe and U.S.A.. We did the fabulous "Long Way To The Top" Tour, toured and recorded with Muddy Waters Band, toured with Albert Collins and the Icebreakers and many other great artists. We have 2 Gold Album Awards and one Silver single award. The band is playing at it's best yet after 35 years.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

I think the Internet and and mp3's have been a great way to get your original music to people without having to cajole Record Companies.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Yes, depending on the label.
