Feelgood Factor

Stuck in a quarantine hotel room in Perth for 2 weeks with no fresh air and dodgy dinners can only lead to one thing: Get creative!
This solitude dude decided not to get too blue, but rather shed some misery and blame in a tongue in cheek blues rant.

COLOURED BALLS "First Supper Last or Scenes We Didn't Get To See" LP
Their first recordings! Before "Ball Power" (1973). Before "Heavy Metal Kid" (1974). Proto Punk/Boogie/Blues/Progressive/Psych/50s Rock 'n Roll/Pop that still cannot be pigeonholed. Back in print for the first time in over 40 years. After LOBBY LOYDE had blazed a trail in THE PURPLE HEARTS, WILD CHERRIES, and THE AZTECS, he formed COLOURED BALLS and Australian rock 'n roll has never been the same. Recorded in late October/early November ‘72, but not issued until May ‘76. Shortly after it was recorded in ‘72, their manager left their label, Havoc Records, and took COLOURED BALLS with him. He then secured them a deal with EMI Records who were offered the chance to release what became “The First Supper Last or Scenes We Didn't Get To See”. It was originally slated to be titled "Rock Your Arse Off!". EMI declined, saying the recordings were too raw and that there were too many different musical styles to market - which is, of course, two of COLOURED BALLS’ greatest strengths. The album was finally released in ‘76 when Lobby signed a new solo record deal with Rainbird Records to issue his "Obsecration" album, the tapes for "First Supper Last" were also dusted off for release. Sadly, Rainbird Records folded soon after it was issued, which is why original copies can fetch $400+. It’s been out of print ever since, until now. Includes detailed liners by Ian McFarlane with rare photos and flyers.

A Christmas Story

From 1959 until 1971 I attended Blacktown Public School and Blacktown Boys High, both in Sydney.

I left Australia in the 70´s for London, where I recorded various albums and singles for my bands The Soho Jets and Razar, produced by The Who producer Kit Lambert.From 1981/84 I sang in the German band Nervous Germans.  Here's a taste:

1985 was the year I moved permanently to Germany where I established myself in the music business, writing lyrics for many different artists and also singing both in the recording studio and on tours as backing vocalist for major artists.

In 1996 I recorded and wrote the lyrics to the German hit “Everlasting Friends” which was used as a TV jingle for Holsten Pilsener in Europe selling over one million copies. I have since written the lyrics to 2 successful musicals; “Die Schöne und das Biest” and “Robin Hood”. In 2000 the unheilig album Phosphor was released containing the underground classic "Sage Ja!", all songs being co-written by Der Graf and myself. I contributed a song to the German ARD production “Contergan - Eine einzige Tablette” which won the Goldene Kamera 2008, ver.di Media prize 2008 und a Bambi prize 2007. In 2014 I had a part in re-recording and writing the soundtrack to Wim Wenders' film "The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty" from 1972.

I have written and performed advertising jingles for among others, Rover 2000, C & A, Yellow Pages, DAB Pils and all types of household goods from toothpaste to WC ducks.

Some of the artists I´ve worked with either as singer, producer or lyricist:

The Window Speaks, , Die Schöne & das Biest (Musical), Peter Hofmann, Jennifer Rush, Christopher Cross, Percy Sledge, Jürgen Marcus, Rhythm Corporation (Wild for you, C&A TV and cinema Spot), Noble Creed, Triumvirat, Depp Jones, unheilig, Bilgeri, Wim Wenders, Michelle, Barry Ryan, Dan McCafferty, Chris Norman, Sash!, Johnny Logan, Bela B, Far Corporation, Gerd Köster, T.V. Smith, Peter Fleischmann (Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein, film title song „Hard to a god“), Obsession (lyrics to Soundtrack for the Peter Sehr film starring Heike Makatsch and Daniel Craig), Rover 2000 TV Spot, Solo Album on CBS (1989), and the "Grant Stevens“ Solo Album (1999, on EMI), Robin Hood (german language Musical).
