With the Angels off the road while Doc pursues a solo career, axe-men John and Rick Brewster have been satisfying fan withdrawals, touring as The Brewster Brothers, accentuating the trademark guitar sound that is unmistakably Rick Brewster.
At a recent Brewster Brothers show in his home city of Adelaide, old friend and fellow Oz-rock legend, Dave Gleeson from The Screaming Jets joined the Brewsters on stage for an impromptu performance where he belted out classics such as “Take A Long Line”, “No Secrets”, “Marseilles” and “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?”. Needless to say fans were blown away by Dave’s powerhouse vocals.
Since then, Dave Gleeson (Screaming Jets) has entered the studio to collaborate with Rick Brewster, John Brewster and Chris Bailey from The Angels on a couple of new songs they’d been working on. Gleeson's voice not only suits all the old Angels classics but has reignited a passion for writing new music. Stay tuned for the new tracks, guaranteed to please all die-hard fans.
"Recording new material at last with Dave Gleeson, what a great rock singer and what a blast! Definitely brings freshness to both the classics and the new tracks.” – John Brewster
“As rock would have it, the guys asked me to get up and do a few Angels tunes with em, and it went nuts… It just seems like a great fit, like it was meant to be that way. I can't believe how great the new tracks sound.” – Dave Gleeson
No time has been wasted with shows already lined up at The Annandale Hotel in Sydney and The Norwood Hotel in Adelaide to showcase this powerful union of Oz-rock icons.
The Annandale Hotel is synonymous with the Australian pub-rock scene and celebrates it’s 11th birthday this year which sees Rick Brewster’s Angels featuring Dave Gleeson perform on the 30th of June before heading to The Norwood Hotel in South Australia the very next day.
