Australia had soooo many great "pub rock" bands from this era.

R.I.P Doc Neeson. This was one of the best Aussie bands everrrrr

THE ANGELS ARE definitely the most UNDERRATED rock band of all time !!!!

Dogs are talking is one of there iconic songs too.

The Angels. Part of the golden era of Australian pub rock. Brilliant band, via studio or live. Tracks to check out - Mr Damage, I Ain't The One, Who Rings The Bell, Coming Down, Marseilles. Plenty of others. Suggest you check out some studio tracks to get the real sound of their original days. This era of Aussie music rocked, hard, and the only way a band had success was to gig endlessly, night after night, to hone your craft. Other acts of the time include (* = highly recommended) *Rose Tattoo, *Divinyls (look outside the obvious, try songs like Boys In Town, Siren, Hey Little Boy, Tempremental) Skyhooks, *Hoodoo Gurus, INXS, Models, Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons (later to morph into *The Black Sorrows) Peace.

Most underexposed and underrated band OF ALL TIME!!!

FINALLY!!! IV BEEN in comments for a year! talking about THE ANGELS!!!

Angels are a hidden gem. Songs from this concert rock! Check out no exit, after the rain. This was 1979 i think . Doc was the best frontman out there

If you lived in Australia in the 70s and 80s you would've been in rock'n'roll Heaven.

We gave the world ACDC but we kept the best for ourselves 😁 check out some Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Spy V spy .. so many great bands especially in the 80''s. Best live music scene was definitely here in Australia

angel city marseilles,after the rain,cant shake it,the angels no secrets,face the day,fashion and fame,been listening to these guys since the late 70's.

I heard someone say that the Angels are like AC/DC that went to college - fantastic band!

The Angels were so good esp their first decade. They were stablemates on the same record label as AC/DC and Rose Tattoo

also known as angel city

One of the most underrated bands by world standards, but we Aussies know the secret. Two other bands worth checking out are Radio Birdman V SPY V SPY.

The live version of After the Rain you just stared has probably the best and most energetic entrance to a song of all time. Doc was so entertaining and could never stay still. RIP! They we're known as Angel City in the states because of the American 60's group The Angel's name was already taken. They were famous for "My Boyfriends Back".

The Angels (aka, Angel City in the USA) have some real bangers in their catalogue. Marseilles would be an excellent song to check out next.

They have a massive catalogue of bangers - After the Rain (for sure), Shadow Boxer, Marseilles, No Secrets and only ever the live version of 'Am I ever gonna see your face' Australia has a large amount of Pub Rock legends like the Angels - check out Cold Chisel - their version of 'Wild Thing' live in the Last Stand concert - is the greatest live rock track from anyone - ever!

The Angels (Angel City in the US) were one of the great Aussie bands of the 70s & 80s Pub Rock scene. Highly recommended, one of my favourites.

The Angels are the absolute best. Every song a concert winner. Been around since the mid seventies. 😎🇦🇺

There first 5 albums are BANGERZZZ! 1977 - THE, debut face to face 1978 - no exit 79 - darkroom 1980and night attack 1981 They been my fav band 17 years now

In the 80's, Zz top toured with The Angels and Rose Tattoo as the supporting bands. Zz top were very polished but Angels blew the roof off. I saw them at the Gold Coast speedway. The 80's in Australia had the best live music.

One of my favourite songs when I was a teenager. This band was awesome!!!!!

The Angels (AKA Angel City in the USA) was one of the great bands of the Australian Pub Rock scene. AC/DC, INXS, Midnight Oil, and Men at Work all had international success. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Hidden away in the bars and pubs were bands like The Angels, Cold Chisel, and numerous others who were playing their hearts out 6-7 nights a week in front of drunken crowds who wanted to be entertained. They honed there skills playing up and down the East Coast (1830 miles) with swings across the continent to Adelaide (722 miles from Sydney) and Perth (2445 miles from Sydney). Many, like The Angels and Cold Chisel, played fast and furious, sounded punkish when playing live but TBH they had better playing skills than most of the punk bands that were arising around the same time. I guess the world missed out on what was one of the great rock scenes due to the tyranny of distance and ignorance of the gate keepers in the USA and UK.

One of my favourite bands. As good as ac/dc. Big catalogue. Darkroom, Night Attack are my favourite albums of theirs. Their liveline ( it’s live)album should have been as widely regarded as made in Japan and live in Leeds etc, but the angels never made it big in the states.

Its THE Angels and mate I am so glad you ate getting into this super Aussie band from the late 70's onward. Check out the full FACE TO FACE album this song comes from - and thank you. (try the LIVE version of the song called AM I EVER GOING TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN - the audience might blow your mind.

The Angels are the best live band I have ever seen.

anything that ppl have mentioned here is worthy of playing . angels had so many bangers . its a deep hole to dive into

I saw them when they were the keystone angels,i have several albums and love them

"This is it folks, over the top!'

From Wikipedia on Dec Neeson (lead vocals) After completing secondary education, Neeson entered an Adelaide teachers college, "my first career option was to become a teacher, certainly never thought of having a career as a musician".[6] Before completing his course Neeson was conscripted for national service into the Australian army during the Vietnam War.[6] He served as an education corps sergeant in New Guinea for eighteen months in the late 1960s.[6][7] He subsequently attended Flinders University, completed degrees in film and drama, and intended to become a film director.[6]

Top tier Aussie band

RIP Doc Neeson. They have a great catalogue of songs. Check out Am i ever gonna see your face again but it has to be a live version so you can fully appreciate it.

The Dogs are Talking - Angels are awesome.

My first concert back in the late eighties and coincidentally just dragged out their liveline double album for a nostalgia trip on New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately I no longer have a working record player so I just had to stare at it and reminisce 😁

Doc Neeson RIP was a great rock the lead singer is now Dave Glesson of the Screaming Jets. The Angels were known in the US as Angel City or The Angels of Angel City as there was already a band called the Angels in the US. Great Australian rock band to Check out in no design order just shooting through my mind. 1. Cold Chisle, 2. Divinyls, 3. Inxs, 4. Men at Work, 5. Icehouse, 6. Australian Crawl, 7. Dragon, 8. Split Enz, 9. Crowd House. 10. Skyhook, 11. John Farnham, 12. John English, 13. Screaming Jets. 14. AC/DC.

The Holy Triumvirate of Australian Hard Rock. ACDC on the throne, The Angels flanking the right with the sceptre, Rose Tattoo on the left with the sword.

The Angels have so many great songs. I've seen them live many times and every time The Angels came to town you knew it was PARTY time. They never dissapointed. Maybe check out Shadow Boxer, Back street pickup, Marseilles and Mr Damage just for starters. Great reaction.

The Angels were electric live. How Brewster stood so still playing the lead guitar is beyond me.

Great reaction 👌 you’re about to go down the angels rabbit hole 😁 enjoy 🇦🇺😎

Very good. A driver!

I like acdc but I love The Angels.

Australia has lots of talented bands that you've never heard of! Many of them 'earned their stripes' in the hard world of Aussie 'pub rock' in that they had to be really good to be taken notice of by the drinkers in the noisy pubs (you may call them hotels or bars.)

One of my favourite band..❤

Best Angels songs... After the rain. Comin Down. Fashion & Fame. Marseilles. No exit. Mr Damage. Eat City. No secrets. ...Those will get you started. Another AWESOME Aussie pub band from that era is RoseTattoo. Best Rose Tattoo songs... Bad boy for love. Juice on the loose. Rock'N'Roll outlaw, Branded. Butcher & Fast Eddie. Scared for life. One of the boys. ...to get you started.other great Aussie pub bands from the 70s are ac/dc ...(but they are not very well known), Ted Mulry Gang. Stevie Wright. JPY. Marcus Hook Roll band. ...and many more.

the Angels best rock band in Australia 70/80 you should listen After the rain live in Melbourne 1979 simply superb !

Saw these guys live at the Jindabine hotel in the 80's, probably 100 people there at most, was excellent.

A criminally underated band. They should have dominated in the late 70's and early 80's. Didn't help they were known as the Angels in Australia and Angel City in US and Canada. The record company didn't understand the brillance of this band. Try: No Secrets, Night Attack, Darkroom, Marsielle, Am I Ever Gonna See YOur Face again.

Yes I grew up listening to the angels! My mum loved them. These guys were awesome.

Mr Damage or Shadow boxer

Story goes that The Angels supported The Kinks, probably in the 80s and the places were rocking so much that crowds were demanding encores. Ray Davies didn’t like this and had them kicked off the tour and that was the end of their big break. The world of rock is lesser for it.

I love the story of The angels as a support band outdoing The who in America, telling The angels to tone it down because the crowd will get exhausted by the time the who came out, so they draw a yellow line on the stage which doc was not meant to standover or Cross, now you know how the story goes 😂 anyway after the angels come back to Australia lol

Angels, Rose Tattoo, Stevie Wright, Radiators, Little River Band, Ted Mulry Gang, Saints, Railroad Gin, Hush, Jimmy & The Boys, so many more

Mate I’m 52 grew up on the Angels and have blown many speakers with the Album version of Take a long line & Shadow boxer. U have to listen to the album version of “ Am I ever gonna see you face again “

as an aussie . acdc and the angels are 2 of our biggest bands . i grew up with both . angels are a rock/punk band you got it right .

Note the lead guitarist does not move, so weird to see live. You sir have just found a seriously good rabbit hole.

Some other great aussie rock bands besides ACDC, were The Angels, Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Rose Tattoo, Dyvinals.

Angels are a great band here in Australia. They have played in the USA with Guns and Roses at some point . In the USA they were called I believe Angel City . The lead singer called " DOC ", RIP DOC, was a legend. AXL from the Gunners sings a tribute to DOC, a great Angels song. Angels are still playing today. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMiJdcZ3t565dps.html

And you have never heard of The Angels ? Only the best pub band in the world. I am so glad I live in Australia.

I was told that they had trouble with the name cuz back in the day there was already a bad at the time named "Angle" ,so you have to look them up as "Angle City" now and they have a lot of cool jams, so you got to check out more of there albums!

Another song is "the dogs are talking" from the angles

They were on the same label as AC/DC - Albert's. Check out Shadow Boxer, Dogs Are Talking, Back Street Pick Up....they have heaps of great tunes

Best live band ever in Australia I seen them over 50 time's

saw the angels around 20 times,try these Aussie bands .Rose Tattoo,Cold chisel,party boys skyhooks theres just a few

Welcome to the Aussie Pub Rock Rabbit Hole you will love this journey.. Angels, Rose Tattoo, Cold Chisel, Australian Crawl, Skyhooks, Hoodoo Guru's, Midnight Oil, Jet, etc etc etc.

The second song was sounding much better to me so Im'a check it out...glad you sampled it! 😊

Add "No Secrets" to your playlist.

To sell in the USA they had to call themselves Angel City because some band in the US already had that name..... No idea what they recorded though and I guess they faded into obscurity...... Unlike Doc Neeson and the Boys.

Would have loved to see Doc and Chrissie Amphlett do a duet.....they may be doing it now..RIP both of you.

The 80s were brilliant for Australian bands, the pub scene as we called it was hot with great music and this was just 1 band in that time frame...

Marseilles, comin down, dogs are talking, fashion and fame they got heaps of great songs.

You can't go wrong with the angels.. cold chisel and AC/DC 🤟🍺🤟

The Angels are fantastic in there own right. But became Cheap Trick’s favourite band to be on stage with. Even now. 👍👍

We saw these guys 6 or 7 times every show was over the top and always different.

Mate, all their songs are Dope ! Strap yourself in, the Band is Damn Tight..!

Do explorer this underrated/underexposed band. They toured USA but only the North West really appreciated them, Gunners covered their awesome song Marseille. Some song suggestions, Face the Day..Mr Damage..Shadow Boxer..No Secrets..Love Takes Care..😎💙👍

Pure Aussie Rock Royalty…..❤️🦘🦘🇦🇺

Saw them in 1981, I was 21. Rock on 🤟

Ohhhh God an Australian rabbit hole, well you got it coming.

I grew up partying to these guys try dogs are talking

Australian pub rock

Cool!😆

THE Angels... not Angels.. The Angels... 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Am I crazy or does parts of this sound like Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Goode? I also prefer the second song. Thanks T.

Ok mate u need to listen to the album version of this band , Shadow boxer , Am I ever gonna see your face again , Mr Damage just to name a few , I’m 52 lives in Sydney Australia all my life and grew up with this band during the 80’s

Cold Chisel is the best Australian rock band then AC/DC, The Angels then The DIVINYLS

Doc rocked hard. rip

Shadow Boxer , Am i ever gonna see your face again etc , Studio version

Didn't get the recognition they deserved. Am I ever gonna see your face again, is their best known song, live version with the crowd adding to the chorus is a bit X rated though. Plenty of good songs to listen to.

I dont wanna face the day!!!

check out "Am i ever gonna see your face again" LIVE. it does not dissapoint. ( i really encourage a live recording).

have a listen to another australian band, Rose tatto, and a song called 'Astra Wally'

STRAYA! 🇦🇺 🐪🦘
