Ricki Lee - Hell No!

Ricki-Lee Coulter (born November 10, 1985), better known as Ricki-Lee, is an Australian pop/R&B singer, songwriter, television and radio presenter who rose to fame as a contestant on Australian Idol in 2004. Coulter was born in Auckland, New Zealand and moved to Gold Coast, Queensland when she was three weeks old.
Since idol, Coulter has released seven top-15 singles which includes four top-5 singles and has achieved four gold accreditations. From 2006 to 2007, Coulter was a member of the mulit-platinum selling girl group, Young Divas. In April 2010, her platinum single, "Can't Touch It" was used in the Sex and the City 2 movie trailer, released worldwide and is featured on the film's soundtrack.
In 2004, Coulter auditioned for the second series of Australian Idol, singing En Vogue's "Don't Let Go. She received praise from all three judges and progressed through the theatre rounds. After all theatre rounds were over, it was announced that Coulter made it into the top-thirty. In the top thirty semi finals, Coulter was part of the third group of performers and sang, "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" by Barry White. The judges were impressed with her performance that it was announced the following evening the three contestants to be put through the top twelve according to viewer votes. The three contestants through were Coulter, Casey Donovan and Dan O'Connor. Throughout the season, Coulter was regarded a favourite to win, from the Top 12 until the Top 7 where she was eliminated. Judge Ian "Dicko" Dickson described her departure as a scandal. Following her elimination, news-papers ran the story as front-page news, and Coulter herself couldn't quite hide the anger and disappointment she plainly felt. Like Daniel Belle, who was elimintated the week before her, Coulter had never appeared in the bottom three or two until her elimination.
Following her departure from idol, Coulter was offered a record deal from SonyBMG (Idol parent company), however she declined the offer and signed with Australia's biggest Independent Label, Shock Records. She released her debut single "Hell No!" in June 2005, which debuted at number five on the ARIA Singles Chart, spending three weeks in the top-10 and three months in the top-40.

Other singles released from the album, "Sunshine" and "Breathe", both made it into the top-15 on the ARIA Singles Chart At the 2006 Urban Music Awards, Coulter's album was nominated for "Best R&B Album".

No Time/Cuscatlan/Pretty Friend/1.9.0/Reflect/Out Of My Sight/
Out Of My Sight/Labour Of Love/
Ordinary Angels/Dangerous

Frente! was an Australian alternative rock group, formed in 1991. The lineup featured singer Angie Hart, founder and guitarist Simon Austin, bassist Tim O'Connor (later replaced by Bill McDonald), and drummer Mark Picton (later replaced by Alastair Barden).

Frente! burst onto the Australian music charts with the singles "Ordinary Angels" (from the Clunk EP, #3, gold) and "Accidently Kelly Street" (#4, platinum) in 1992. Notable as much for the bizarre film clips ("Accidently Kelly Street" consisted of the band with oversized novelty props of household items, and the title of the song was purposely written with an initial lowercase) as their light-hearted pop lyrics, Frente!'s debut album, Marvin the Album (#5) was also a success, going platinum in Australia. Another single was released from the album in early 1993, "No Time" (#50), which did not fare as well.

"Ordinary Angels" finished the year as the 20th best selling single of 1992 on the ARIA charts, with "Accidently Kelly Street" finishing 29th.

Midnight Oil - Trugainini

Truganini/Bushfire




Midnight Oil are an Australian rock band from Sydney originally performing as Farm from 1972 with drummer Rob Hirst, bass guitarist Andrew James and keyboard player/lead guitarist Jim Moginie. While vocalist Peter Garrett was studying at Australian National University in Canberra, he answered an advert for a spot in Farm, and by 1975 the band was touring the east coast. By late 1976, Garrett moved to Sydney to complete his law degree, and Farm changed its name to Midnight Oil.

Important to their development was manager Gary Morris who was able to negotiate favourable contracts with tour promoters and record companies and frustrate rock journalists. Guitarist Martin Rotsey joined in 1977 and Midnight Oil, with Morris, established their own record label Powderworks, which released their debut eponymous album in November 1978, and their first single "Run by Night" followed in December. Founding bass guitarist James, forced to leave due to illness in 1980, was replaced by Peter Gifford. Gifford was himself replaced by Bones Hillman in 1987. Through a long and distinguished career, the band became known for its driving hard-rock sound, intense live performances and political activism, particularly in aid of anti-nuclear, environmentalist and indigenous causes.


"Truganani" is a song by Midnight Oil, from their album Earth and Sun and Moon. It was inspired by Truganini, a Tasmanian Aboriginal.

The song uses a recurring Australian problem (drought) to pose the question "What for?" meaning 'why did Europeans bother to colonize this harsh place'. The song mentions two prominent indigenous Australians (Truganini and Albert Namatjira) whose lives were altered by European settlement and discusses current day sentiment towards the old country, namely the monarchy.

The single's liner notes included the claim that Truganini was the "sole surviving Tasmanian Aborigine" when she died. This sparked protest by some of the 7,000 people who identify as Tasmanian Aboriginal.

Signed to Sony at the age of 15, Goodrem rose to prominence in 2002, starring in the popular Australian soap Neighbours as Nina Tucker, and this assisted her establishing an international music career. Goodrem has achieved eight #1 singles in her home country including all three of her studio albums reaching #1. She currently holds the record for the highest selling album of the last decade and the most #1 singles from any debut album, with all five of her singles from her debut album Innocent Eyes reaching #1 on the ARIA charts. Her repertoire falls under the pop and adult contemporary styles, and heavily features the piano, which she usually plays barefoot while performing live. Her music is influenced by vast array of styles including Classical, Adult Contemporary music, Pop and Soft Rock. In spite of gaining success in Australia and in the UK, Goodrem has yet to score a hit LP or single in the USA. She is currently the face of Sunsilk and So Good in Australia. Her debut album, 2003's Innocent Eyes, gave her the highest selling Australian album of the last decade, in the process making her one of Australia's highest selling female recording artists of all time. Goodrem is currently in the process of recording her 4th studio album due for release late 2010, early 2011.

Goodrem, who was starring as Nina Tucker in Neighbours at the time, performed the track on the show, as her character was also trying to launch a music career. The piano ballad proved to be successful, debuting at number three before reaching number one on the Australian Singles chart, becoming Goodrem's first number one single. It spent three months in the top five and went on to sell over 210,000 copies, making it the third highest selling single of 2002. In the UK, "Born to Try" debuted and peaked the charts at number three, spending eleven weeks in the top forty. The single was also a number one hit for Goodrem in New Zealand.
Goodrem co-wrote the song with producer and songwriter Audius Mtawarira (who had worked with Selwyn) at her home in Sydney. The two met in 2001 and Goodrem states "Audius and I got on really well and someone at the record company suggested we write together. He came out to our house, mum made some lunch and we wrote four songs. 'Born To Try' was the last one. We just naturally clicked and there was no pressure so it was just music for music's sake".
"Born to Try" was not Delta's debut single. In 2001, she released "I Don't Care", but the single was unsuccessful and barely noticed by the general public.
The song is included in Delta's debut album in the USA, "Delta", released on July 15th 2008.

Star Wars/Charlies Angels/Lady Madonna/Song For Sarah/Car Wash/Gonna Fly Now (Rocky)/Doctor Sunshine/Baretta/Tribute To A Czar/Timepiece/Carnival/The Greatest Love Of All-I Always Knew I Had It In Me



The Daly/Wilson Big Band were a success story during the seventies and early eighties and although the band had gained a strong following for their electrifying live shows around the country, the overheads in keeping the band on the road became a financial burden...The band was put on hold for a while in 1971 while Ed Wilson went searching for new challenges and found his way to England where he took up the trombone chair with the band at the London Palladium. In 1972 he was coaxed back to Australia where Daly/Wilson was resurrected with the added incentive of sponsorship from Benson & Hedges. The next seven years saw the band tour constantly both nationally around Australia and abroad....they were in fact one of the first western acts in the world to perform in Russia. The line-up was complimented by three great Australian vocalists who helped broaden the appeal of the band...Marcia Hines , Kerry Biddell and the late, great Ricky May, Ricky appears on the last track on the this album.
The Daly/Wilson Big Band are an important part of Australian music history and leave behind a legacy 8 Albums and indelible memories of sensational live shows.

Had some real trouble trying to clean up the Charlie's Angels track there was a scratch right through the intro so I left it out and ended up with a shortened track which if you don't know the song you wouldn't notice so what I've done is uploaded the single track as a wave file and if anyone can fix it I would appreciate it .

Minogue released her debut Australian album Dannii in October 1990. It peaked at number twenty-four on the ARIA Albums Chart and was a moderate success.
