Party: James Reyne

Australian Crawl is surely one of Australia’s most loved bands – revered in the same manner as their peers Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel and INXS, they played an integral part in the development of the Australian ‘sound’ and were one of the truly great rock groups of their time.

From their inception in 1978, Australian Crawl existed for nearly nine years. The band delivered nine releases between 1980 and 1986, with considerable commercial success. In terms of Australian groups, only Midnight Oil, The Seekers, Savage Garden and Skyhooks have spent more time at the top of the ARIA Albums Chart.

The group disbanded in 1986, their final show taking place at Perth Entertainment Centre on February 1. Following the untimely deaths of founding member Brad Robinson and Guy McDonough, hopeful Australian Crawl fans were left with the realisation that a reunion tour was an impossibility.

Invited: Susan Bryant, Jenene Carling, Simone Smith, Amber Wallace, Kylie Farmer, Danielle Manley
