Renee Geyer

Renee Geyer is a bluesy goddess. She's damn hot but unfortunately never gained the kind of international recognition achieved by other aussie women such as Olivia Newton-John, Helen Reddy or, of course, Kylie Minogue.

Skyhooks are a big part of growing up in the 70s in Australia. Quirky and cynical they captured the post 60s mood but also wrote snarky songs about life in the suburbs of Melbourne rather than mythic far away places like New York or New Orleans.

The original AC/DC line up filmed in Melbourne 1976 fronted by Bon Scott dressed in a schoolgirl outfit with pigtails in contrast to Angus Young's trademark school uniform. The outfits were a late echo of the Glam Rock period which had just passed. Angus was 21 when this was filmed but claimed to be just 17.
