July 13th 1973. Skyhooks (Steve Hill lineup) -Yarra Valley Grammar School, Ringwood. A young Bob Starkie turns up with tape recorder & records some of his older brother Peters band Skyhooks. (Skyhooks Archives)
Today's Skyhooks item from the Archives. The t-shirt from the Hooks "Ego Is Not A Dirty Word" exhibit at the Arts Centre -Melb.(1994). (Archive Item HK0041). 36,000 people visited the exhibit while it was on. 100 t-shirts were made. A further 60 with fan club info in back.
It's The Lone Gunmen. The show deserved so much better. It's pilot episode remains one of the wildest and eerily prophetic TV premieres ever.
Cancelled too soon.
