| What
a night! It was so much better than I would have expected. People may
go to a pub/club for all sorts of reasons like "pick up", getting pissed,
pokies etc etc. But this was a collection of people with one objective
... to enjoy a night of KB! What a great vibe. |
||||
| .......more
than I could ever wish for - KBE better than sex |
||||
| This
site is packed full of great stuff, everything that the planet needs
to know about kevin is available for download and perusal. Nice looking
with a hearty feel…
|
||||
| I
used to get stressed until Kevin Borich came into my life. |
||||
| I
am the designated driver for the night. I haven't had a drink or smoke
and I am blown away, I am having the best time. |
||||
| `Heartstarter'
is one of the best CDs i've bought in a while - it's up there with SRV,
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the rest. Won't be forgettan that night for
a long while You guys rock!!!!!!!!
|
||||
|
Just letting you know I've received the cd's on
Friday and am thoroughly enjoying them ....thank you.....
|
||||
| .........the
cruise was brilliant. Best show I've seen in ages. |
||||
| this guy reeks Respect! can’t get enough of the BIG KAHUNA |
||||
|
The technical forte that kept me spellbound was
where he broke the rules of many of these texts that preach their own
sacristy................A textual explanation of this technique has
never been found by the author of this note, but the sound, which is
after all the object of any musician, was magic. |
||||
| I
have just visited your site regarding Kevin Borich. Very interesting
and informative. I am a big Kevin Borich fan. I have been a fan for
over 20 years. I have seen many many of his concerts including the classic
Rock arena. Kevin is a legend and would easily be one of the greatest
guitarists of all time..... without doubt He is totally under-rated
and deserves to be in the same grade as Santana !!!! I have all his
albums and still play them on a regular basis. |
||||
| ..........in
1974,....Barry (Harvey) joined The Kevin Borich Express for one year
and played 366 gigs in 365 days. |
||||
| I
think your website is 'choice', great pics & info to go.Can't wait to
see you Live again, with Lucius & Ben on another Syd' harb'r CROOOOSE!!!....
Your next gig in New'ie is when?....We're starved. Thanks for staying
TRUE............ |
||||
| .........just
got in an excellent recording "Heartstarter" from the Austrailian blues/rocker
Kevin Borich. Mostly original material, some nasty slide, strong axe
work, good supporting players, decent vocals, and well engineered. I
got this CD and a two disc set "Live at the Big Kahuna" from his website...
The prices were reasonable for imports and the CDs got here quickly.
He is most definitely someone who any blues/rock fan will want to check
into. |
||||
| I
subcribed to your list after seeing Kevin live in Ballarat , Victoria
so I am always interested if he will be back in town someday. I am a
fan of Hendrix music and loved Kevins style and his top class blues
and rock .... |
||||
| Kevin
and his band played absolutely phenomenal again.....what
a band, what a guitarist, what a performance! Kevin performing "Dust
My Broom" places one on another planet; "Rollin and Tumblin"
brings to the fore Lucius' great drumming skills and "Angels Hand"
( another of Kevins great songs), shows Ben's skills on bass. Long live
KBE!
|
||||
|
||||
| Thanks
for the info. But alas I am still in the jungles of Borneo. Please don't
stop sending me the info, it's good to keep in touch and one day I will
make it. |
||||
| Great
site, and wonderful to see that KB is still rockin'. I have been to
(literally) hundreds of gigs in London and the US, but I still have
vivid and very happy memories of seeing KB slidin' thru Li'l Red Rooster,
Goin' Somewhere, Snowball King, KB's Boogie, and then the gigs with
Dutch Tilders - Wow!! |
||||
| .......today
I received the KB-CD's and they are excellent! |
||||
| First
saw Kevin in Christchurch with the La De Das in, ah, 1967. And many
times since, including a great gig on the night of Christmas Day, 1977,
with KBE at the old Bondi Lifesaver. Glad KB's still around and playing.
A Borich gig is one thing that's guaranteed to tear me away from the
comforts of home. |
||||
| I
received KB's BIG KAHUNA, rate first half as 8/10 and second disk as
a 5/10 but when he's hot , he's hot.........tried to get down to Lennox
Head but my wife fell at work and broke her ankle.......very inconsiderate!
Anyway I'll order some more as $ come in |
||||
| I
would get up at 3:30am any time to see Kevin perform on the internet
- it was great!!! |
||||
| A
few short years ago I had the time of my life filling in on drums and
playing three gigs with KB in Tasmania. John Annas had to return to
Sydney for a Music Expoand KB still had gigs to play as luck would have
it we had the same promoter and I got the gigs. I just want to thank
KB and Ian Lees (bass) for threee of the best nights of my life......
|
||||
| ...this
is one awesome band a must see!! |
||||
| I`m
a guy from Germany - it took me about 20 years to get Goin` downtown.
Saw you on German Television around 1980 with that song. I will spread
the good word about your great guitarpicking around. |
||||
| KB
was excellent. Lucius and Ben were both great value too. They are great
players and great guys. |
||||
| Kevin
Borich has given Australia some of the hottest Rockin' Blues of all
time, beginning with the La - De - Das, through the Party Boys and the
Kevin Borich Express. Kevin deservedly stands at the podium with the
Best of Australian Blues Performers. Oz Blues Rock is alive and well.
|
||||
| ........one
of the elements that so far I have not seen addressed by reviewers is
that KB, in my opinion, has led the way over 30 years for guitar enthusiasts,
musos and amateurs, in Australia. |
||||
| ....the
worst part about the festival was that Kevin was not there.
|
||||
|
Sorry, I can't part with my Kevin Borich "LIVE" |
||||
| Anyways
thanks for the cont emails even though 12,000 away I like to keep up
to date, check the website reguly, and my sister got me a copy of heartstarter,
which I love, I been waiting 15 years for him to finnaly record "cadillac
walk" |
||||
|
||||
| ......mega
night at Corrimal...had a ball !!!!! |
||||
| I
received the CD's last week - thanks! I listened to them all last weekend.
It was great to hear that KB is still producing the goods, and my wife
was entertained by my strutting around playing air guitar and singing
songs I hadn't heard for years!! Having been recharged, I wonder if
you have any other live concert recordings? Especially any version(s)
of Snowball King! I have an old tape of KBE Live!, but it is pretty
worn out, and I believe there is no CD available any more. Let me know
if there is any chance of KB touring in the US at all sometime - it
would be brilliant to see him! Please pass on my best regards to Kevin
from a guy who saw just about every gig he played in Melbourne between
'78 and '82 (before I left Australia), and I wish him well in the future.
It is totally obvious he still enjoys what he does, even though he doesn't
receive the recognition he deserves. That takes passion and guts which
he has in droves, probably only exceeded by his talent. We're all getting
old, but I'm not scared to admit that KB's Boogie still gets me jumpin'.
Keep rockin' Kevin - it' really appreciated! |
||||
| ........
my job has been causing me to much stress. and i'm looking forward to
unwind with some K.B. BOOGIE |
||||
| Any
idea when KB's comin back to the Gold Coast. Miss them blues he plays
so well |
||||
| I
just got back from KB's gig at The Continental, its the first time I
have seen him for nearly 20 years, I thought he may have lost some oomph.......He
came out for the second set, played for 1 hour and forty minutes and
blew everyone away, he was magnificent, has lost no oomph, and the guitar
is still part of his body and soul, did he turn it on? Oh yeah, he was
fantastic, KB still ROCKS!!!!!!!, |
||||
|
KB - thanks for staying TRUE...MAAAAATE.
|
||||
| One
thing that is apparent with KB's fans is they never give up on his music.
They have hung onto the tape or vinyl even when they have nothing to
play it with or it has worn out! |
||||
| The
flames poster looks sensational on our wall all framed and bordered
|
||||
| I've
finally got a bloody computer......#*!!+#*!! I bought it mainly for
the KB web sight. |
||||
| I
saw Kevin & the band at Armadillo's last Thurs night & they were fantastic.
Well worth the wait for the man to get back to Melb. Tell him to get
here more often please !!! |
||||
| I
saw you guys at Avoca last Sunday, we really enjoyed the gig. Bonus
to see Angry there as well. I guess Kevin is one of my favourite performers,
and has been for many years. I think his fair dinkum attitude to the
music is to be acclaimed. He certainly has not "sold out" in my eyes.
Not to mention being a down to earth guy. We will be going to the Hornsby
Inn gig in 2 weeks as well. |
||||
| and
God said ...``Let there be a guitarist" |
||||
| It's
been a LONG time since I saw him live, so I'm looking forward to it.
I have very happy memories of a balmy Sydney summer arvo (could it REALLY
be 27 years ago ??? yikes!) when I saw Kev for the first time on the
bill at the Sydney Rockarena show with Santana and Fleetwood Mac, and
he was damn fine. |
||||
| we
were able to go on sunday to avoca surf classic only to see kevin play
again. fantastic ... we had a great time listening to kev's old songs
that we so dearly love to hear. |
||||
| Great
music and I LOVE that National Steel guitar!...... |
||||
| Heartstarter
has the best KB guitar playing on it, it's almost scary. |
||||
|
||||
| Kevin's
music is getting a lot of airplay here! I like both acoustic and electric
setting, it just shows Kevin's variety and musical expertise. He is
definitely one of the top artists I've encountered in recent times.
Keep up the good work and have me informed on your future activities!
|
||||
| Kevin
was great at the Star Hotel Saturday nite. I don't get out much but
as soon as I heard Kevin was playing there I made sure I attended. I
last saw Kevin play in 1976 when they had a Music expo at the Horden
Pavillion and then at the Bondi Life Saver before it burnt down. I would
love to Kevin play up here at either the Bowling Club or RSL but I don't
think they would be able to pay for such a world known artist to come
here. So I have to travel to see Kevin. |
||||
| Interesting
idea to have an acoustic and electric sides on two different CDs! It
shows Kevin's potential and happy crowd lucky to be there at the time!
|
||||
| ......about
NYE,wasn't that a great night, the blokes really turned it on, I am
still talking about it, and the next time your down here I've got a
heap of people that want to go. it was one of the best nights ever,
with one highlite 3mins before midnight, he didn't know what to play,
then without telling the band, he started belting out Johnny Be Good
with the band coming into line as soon as they heard the riff. What
an unbelievable night, well worth the drive to Tomakin and the flight
to Sydney from Melbourne. |
||||
| I
found Kevin by accident on a bluesweb, I visited his website, and felt
immediately in love for his guitar, when I saw him with such a guitar,
I knew he is making great delta-roots or slide guitar music, which perfectly
fits in my show!! |
||||
| Kevin
Borich - God on guitar |
||||
| ...what
a mindblowing weekend you are going to have. We saw Kevin performing
with Renee at Southport RSL a few months ago both were superlative.
We'd be down in Sydney as well but we not long got back from England
Ireland and Europe and need a few more pennies again. What we really
needed was a Kevin "Jet" to get us mad people down there, oh well one
day. |
||||
| KB
was absolutely fantastic and the girl that was with me liked KB as well.
I am sure that the older he gets the better he gets. Does KB have a
song book out somewhere that I can buy ? Would like to try and play
his music. The CD that I got off you Saturday nite is very good.
|
||||
| What
a night! Kevin was brilliant as usual. I should see a bad show just
to prove that he has the occasional off night. To me the highlight was
seeing the heroes of my adolescence, the Masters Apprentices. Doug Ford
... legend!! Glen Wheatley couldn't get the smile off his face. The
other idol I hadn't seen was Thorpie. I was disappointed that his guitar-slinger
took all the breaks. I know Billy isn't in the KB league of players
... but I wanted to see him rip in to the Les Paul, not his mate. But
what a voice. What a night. Thanks for letting me know about it.
|
||||
| K.B. - what can I say.
Great guy, killer player! One of the world's greats. |
||||
Borich was hot hot HOT. 'Gonna See My Baby' was rockin'; great version of Voodoo Chile with a dash of Sex Machine, and some scorching lead; Goin Downtown was white hot. What a total rock god - still in truly awesome physical shape and can play the arse off anyone on earth. |
||||
|
Well , this is the sight you told me about!!! I bumped into you in the
gents loo at Ted Mulry's benefit ( Friday night) .. It was a great night,
although as you said to me , it was sad that a tragedy like this brought
everyone together,( muscians and fans alike!) Just checked out the web-site,
just brilliant champ!! One of the better web-sites i have visited!!..You
should have a game you could play!.........dont ask me how or what tho!!!!
Now i've found this site i'll be spreading the word!!! Once again Kev,
it was great to talk to my boyhood hero, a great night and my friends
were saying you were one of the best performers on the night, a standout!
|
||||
| Just
got back, Friday night was the highlite of the weekend and if there
is a Ted show down here, I hope Kevin comes down, as kevin says, its
good to see ya again. |
||||
|
||||
| It
was just awesome seeing Kev play with Russell - the wave of excitement
that went through the room when they came out was amazing, and when
they went into The Real Thing everyone was practically levitating off
the floor....Jesus it was great. Kev was just great, as always, and
you could see how daunted Gina was having to come on after Kev's blistering
set but she was a sport about it.......I'm still buzzing! |
||||
|
Any hope for R&R Sandwich on CD - it's a true
classic!!! |
||||
| Our
sincere congratulations re the news on the 140 big ones for Ted. We
legendary rockers from New Zealand are thrilled to see such an outcome.
Kindest thoughts to y'all across the ditch. |
||||
| I've
been a fan of K.B.s for well over 20 years, having first seen him play
around 1977 in Melbourne. Do you know if he has any date's lined up
for down here at any stage this year, as I would be keen to see him
play sometime. |
||||
| I was knocked
out by your performances on Friday and Saturday at the Gimme Ted concerts.
Like a lot of the aunties and uncles present, I've enjoyed your music
for over 30 years. (I'm 48 but I still feel like a teeenager...sound
familiar???) |
||||
| Hey
hey, got the CD - it's a blast - takes me back, right back. Looking
forward to catch up. |
||||
| I
hope Channel 10 show some highlights of the Master (KB) Can't wait for
the Music Max show... |
||||
| Gday
from WA. Does Kevin ever get over this way? Would love to see his band
here. |
||||
| Please
pass on my congrats to KB. I was at both nights of Gimme Ted, and I
must say Kev hasn't lost a beat. Awesome indeed. Hope to be at the next
one... |
||||
|
||||
| Can't
wait to see the Gimme Ted concert, hope there's a good bit of K.B on
it !. |
||||
| I
have just discovered Kev's website. Thankfully. I am a long term fan,
I have all his records and am really knocked out to find these 3 new
releases....... |
||||
| Thanks
for the news of the TV dates for Gimmee Head and especially for the
link to Milesago....I've just spent a couple of hours reliving the best
years of my life. Tell kev to get off his bum and do something with
the Happy Prince songs and story.....It still blows people away when
I play them my very worn album |
||||
| I
am Rural Fire Service member of 19 yrs so I am glad to support them
by been at Mooney Mooney and better still listen to Australia's best
guitarist. ( Well I know Kev's a kiwi but I won't hold that against him ). |
||||
| Saw
Kevin on Channel 10 last night saw him do a little bit of "Gonna See
My Baby Tonight," WOW.... |
||||
| Been
tuned to your gig at the basement,"choice",Then today the Doug had Wendy
Saddington on,@ all this takes me back to 1974 at Mona Vale community
hall, The Bondi Lifesaver, etc,The good old days were good. |
||||
| Hi
There I just wanted to say that it was nice to see that there is a KB
website I am an aussie living in the USA. rock on |
||||
| Congratulations
KB and Crew on your involvement in the Gimme Ted Concerts, it certainly
has been the musical highlight of the century! How about "Jumping in
you Car" and putting the show on the road so that us Mexicans down south
in Vic can pay tribute to the artists that made this a golden era.
|
||||
| Thanks
for the pix of KB at the Ted concert - just fantastic. They all capture
his infectious enthusiasm. I lived in the US for 2 years (one of the
reasons I came back home was because I missed the Sydney live blues
scene in general and KBE in particular!). |
||||
|
||||
|
I know that Kevin will Blow those Sydneysiders
out of the Water..... |
||||
| Kevin
is a most enjoyable artist and the more I listen to his work, the more
I appreciate it. |
||||
| Watched
the Music Max Gimme Ted Part 1 last night and I have to say once again
what a absolute bloody rock god Kevin Borich is. His set with Harry
Brus and John Annas was just frigging brilliant. |
||||
| Caught
Gimme Ted last night. Kev ROCKED!! Hope to catch him at Mooney Mooney
soon. |
||||
| I
saw the Ted benefit gig on cable tele over the last two nights and it
was great to see Kev in action. He was playing great ( of course ) and
at last i have some live Kev on video so i'm happy with that. There
were a lot of old faces present at the gig but Kev was one of the few
that still looks every bit the rock star...i'm sure that would make
him laugh |
||||
| The
set he did with Russell Morris and the KBE reunion set now rank among
the greatest concert-going moments of my life -- something I'll always
treasure. |
||||
| I
saw you on the Ted thing on cable. Looked liked fun. You look well for
a bloke who's done a few K's |
||||
| Kevin
is world class, ...always has been and deserves recognition as such
.... |
||||
| ........you
may have info on a video release of the Gimme Ted show...I don't have
Foxtel or any enlightened friends who could have taped it for me. (They
are still swooning over getting SBS for nix and were probably watching
The Life Cycle of a Wooden Spoon) So all I got to see was Channel Tens
token nod. You could tell by the sweat and vibe that more was happenning
than 10 showed and I so badly want to see it. At least Kev got his face
on...that guy is the epitome of cool. I have been in awe of his playing
from a night back in '69 when he plugged me into his amp at a La De
Das gig at Armidale ( we wuz the support band ). For me the highlight
of that night was when Kev tok lead vocals from Phil for " I Put a Spell
on You" and then played congas for the funkiest "Light my Fire" Last
year I was knocked unconcious by a Council Truck and had to have my
clothes cut off....The ambos reckon I was pleading to them not to cut
my 8 y.o Borich Indian T shirt...must buy another. Sorry I'm rambling...shouldnt
do my emails so early inthe morning. If you hear of any such video release
could you please let me know....I would be sooo grateful .. |
||||
| I'm
first in line for a copy of Rock n Roll sandwich when it comes out on
cd. |
||||
| Saw
the concert and Kevin was on fire. He made Russel Morris's "Real Thing"
look alive with his playing ! |
||||
| Borich
was awesome last Sat night at Corrimal leagues Club.. Paul Christie
on bass and John Annas on drums.. would have loved that show on video..
|
||||
| BORICH
COOKS at CORRIMAL - Faced with a choice of seeing the Blues Gals at
another venue or seeing the legendary Kevin Borich at Corrimal Leagues
Club, I chose to see KB as not only had I not seen him for a while but
also he always puts on an outstanding show and I was not dissapointed.
Paul Christie played bass guitar and John Annas played drums. A line
up like this is incredible. Kevin started with the full band using his
metal acoustic guitar and within two songs the dance floor was becoming
busy. Some new songs that I had not heard him play before. After a short
break it was time for the electric guitar to come out and the dance
floor was packed, as KB went through some old favorites and some new
songs too. This guy never lays down, always full of energy and giving
100 percent with cooking guitar solos and tonight he seemd to enjoy
playing with Paul Christie as they had so much fun on stage. Kevin is
one of the greats in Australian history who gets better with age. If
you want a guaranteed good night, head to Kevin Borich concert and watch
a legend at work.
|
||||
| KEVIN
BORICH is another great blues rocker from Australia. Highly recommended! |
||||
| What
a great show yesterday and as always really enjoyed it. It was the first
time that I have heard Kev play his Accoustic guitar, always fantastic
as always. Keep rock and rolling |
||||
| Missed
the second concert back in April but caught it on Monday night. I thought
Kevin was sensational, he had the crowd eating out of the palm of his
hand. Anyone that saw that concert live or on TV would now know that
Kevin is the best Guitarist in the land. The whole concert was great
and Kevin was at the top of the list as an entertainer. |
||||
| It
doesn't get any better than that afternoon. Sippin' Bourbon, and watching
Kev up close, in a tiny little club. Man, we rocked out! What the hell
were the other million Borich fans doing on that day? |
||||
| Congratulations
to Kevin on Heartstarter and Live at the Big Kahuna. I purchased them
from you about 3-4 months ago. Finally, we get to hear real instruments
on CD! I've got all of the following albums of Kevin: Angel's Hand,
The Blues Had A Baby (Dutch Tilders), Shy Boys Shy Girls (EP) Kevin
Borich Live (8 tracks), No Turning Back, Lonely One & Celebration. However,
I am unable to play these albums and relive his greatest music as I
do not have a turntable anymore!! I purchased the compilation "Collection"
(fantastic CD) and the double CD set of Lonely One & Celebration, so
I can at least get to hear some of Kevin's greatest work. However, is
there a way of getting all of the albums I mentioned on CD? This is
a truly genuine request from a big fan. |
||||
|
.....about our kids enjoying KB.... when my 2 girls where about 5 and
seven and given the O.K. to use the CD player they discovered my collection
of sixties/70's stuff and guess who their fave was?....none other than
KBs " Gonna see my Baby". Long trips to Queensland were made fun by
their 3 hour catalogue of 60's Brit pop and Oz rock and about every
15 minutes we'd get "Baby" complete with sung guitar intro and increased
dynamics on the do dooden doo do do bit. |
||||
| Hi
to Kevin........" he's got the power.." |
||||
| Good
to see Kevin is still the King !!! A real leader, bandleader, and supernatural
talent A guy who gave me, (and many other musicians) support and direction
as a teenager trying to find their way in the stagnant Australian Music
Scene. (Australian Music's not dead, it just smells funny, and nobody
looks good with brown lipstick on !) Kevin was always Hip to trying
new shit and using other instruments in his music, and breaking the
mould. Never afraid to follow his musical instincts just like Carlos
Santana. I know along with most everyone who has ever worked with Kevin
(that's alot of people), and what Carlos Santana recognizes. Kevin is
a born musician/guitarist, (not made) with great feel/time and a supreme
tone, who gives it to you right in the pocket everytime, undoubtedly.
My most prized personal recording efforts are recording with Kevin Borich,
and Frank Gambale's debut album. Damn Proud of both these Australian
Legends/Friends There are 2 types of musicians in the world: Those who
are it, and those who are trying to look like it ! We all know which
one Kevin is !!!!! Thanks Kevin, and keep it rockin steady.
|
||||
| I
really think Kevin has been plugged in and switched on all his musical
life..it seems that as he grows so does the music he channels through
to us.......it only gets more powerful!......I'm sure he has plenty
more in store to blow us all away with... !!!! |
||||
|
||||
| I
saw Eric Johnson and the Hellcasters (Jerry Donohue and Will Ray) as
the support last night at the Fox venue where you did "Gimme Ted". Same
woolly bottom end. All 3 of them were excellent technicians, but couldn't
communicate with the audience to save themselves. Where was the passion
and fire? Where was the eye contact? No charisma at all. That's where
the real pro's like you leave these guys for dead...not to mention that
you strangle that guitar until it cries out for mercy. Not a drop of
sweat was exerted last night compared to your 2 or 3 shirt nights.
|
||||
|
I have listened to Kevin since the La De Das ...his
music is not background noise...he gives his all to the crowd and strikes
cords that reach the soul....he's an angel and plays a harp with attitude!...
it is genuine goosebump material..!!!!........thankyou Kevin....
|
||||
|
I would like to start off by saying thanks for inspiring me back in
1981-82 as a young guitarist in western Sydney (Blacktown), Twenty years
on I'm still rocken. I play with a Sydney band called UNDERDOGS for
the past five years and recently played up at the brass monkey bike
cycle rally at Lithgow and play locally most weekends , we play a mixture
of hard rock and blues that suits that biker fraternity. I first seen
you at Parramatta Leagues Club in 1981 and fell in love with the slide,
I had two favourite LP's then, Rock and Roll Sandwich and George Thorogood,
and have still got them. I seen you on TV for the ted concert and the
memories came back. Like I said Kevin I'm 38 now and have played in
bands since 1981 and have put my long time passion down to people like
you. |
||||
| ...it
was the first time he had really heard KB, but it won't be the last.
We are both interested in the next cruise whenever that may be, WE WILL
BE THERE WITH BELLS ON. |
||||
| Will
there ever be another great Sydney Harbour Cruise ? Did I tell you we
drove all the way home from KB'S Cruise to Bribane without stopping
all on KB's energy! |
||||
| I
caught KB's last gig at the Cotinental Hotel a while ago which of course
was excellent. I have been a fan of KB since the La De Das (Rock N Roll
Sandwich) and spent many a good night at the Hard Rock Cafe in Melbourne
back in the mid 70's watching them play (giving away the age now). Also
saw KB jam there with Ritchie Blackmore.....would love to see you play
in Melbourne in the near future. |
||||
| I
saw your gig at the Shumaluma Bar on Saturday last week. Being a KB
fan from way back, I wasn't going to miss it. It was the best bit of
music I've seen in ages. I've got some vintage KB on vinyl and I was
almost going to bring it along for you to sign, but I didn't want to
risk getting it damaged. But I got a tee-shirt and I'll be wearing that
with pride. I grew up in Sydney and saw KB Express all over the place,
but my favourite one was when you played the Carringbar Inn about the
mid eighties. The crowd went nuts. You're one of my favourite guitarists.
Keep up the great music. |
||||
| Whens
Kevin coming to Melbourne again. Its been to long ! |
||||
| I'm
seeing US guitar-god, Eric Johnson on Thursday. Maybe he could get some
lessons from KB while he's here! |
||||
| Sydney
Harbour, what a great location for a Kevin Borich Express DVD. If you
are a KB fan you obviously have the taste for the finer things in life.
Imagine Kev in your own lounge room, high quality picture and sound.
When the extensions finished I want to hang the framed,
bordered and signed poster of Kevin in the new room. I am going to do
this as a surprise and would like it to pack as much punch with my wife
as possible. This is real art and I want this to be the main talking
point of the room when friends come over. |

| THE
BORICH COLLECTION - PAST JEMS. |
||||
| Just
thought I'd write and tell you some news. Dave is a Corrections Officer
in victoria and he tries to help the guys by finding things that they
like to do. So he lets them borrow CDs and stuff, Kevin is very popular
at the prison. he has a lot of very big fans in there. I'm not sure
how he would feel about that because I dont know him, but the whole
jail has been rocking to his music a lot lately. Theyve been playing
the music right back to the La De Das..Borich and Tilders etc. Dave
and I collect records as a hobby, so hes the one they come to....
|
||||
| .....just
letting you know I'll be at the basin on friday knock em dead Kev

Prince was one of the few albums at the time that could stand the test
of repeated listenings. Initially some of the songs sound a bit trite
and simplistic, but on furthur investigation, this suggests to me how
good the songs were. Remember the subject material isn't too intellectual
- this could spark a debate?? - I'm more interested in the whole sound,
and love the organ work on several tracks. Which reminds me I'll make
an effort to hear it again soon! |
||||
|
||||
|
Saw
KB on sunday at Jazz and Blues Festival, he was brilliant again easily
the festival highlight. |
||||
|
...remember me, the mad blues freak from the South Coast who you snuck
into a pub about a year ago. Well, when Kev was playing in St Gearge's
Basin a week ago our local news paper put on a competition to win a
KB CD with Advance Australia fair and Waltzing matilda in it and I won!!!!!!!
I love the anthem!!!!!! Great sound!!!!!!! |
||||
| By
the way, it’s a great website – very user friendly and I actually was
at Rockarena but at the Showground as far as I can recall |
||||
| I
was just browsing through some old LP's when I came across one my old
time favourites " Kevins Mini LP "Shy Boys/Shy Girls. I was just thinking,
how may of these albums did Kevin bring out and how many do you think
would be in circulation? Probably a difficult one to answer, but nevertheless
the Album was very good and had some truly gritty songs. Anyway take
it aesy and keep up the great work. Any progress with KB coming to Melbourne??
|
||||
|
I've heard Kevin Borich will be playing Kangaroo Point Jazz and Blues
Festival as headliner which is fantastic! I was wondering whether he
could come on the show and promote the Festival and Heartstarter ..........
|
||||
|
||||
| Just
wanted to say a huge thank you to you for everything. Kevin and the
Express certainly rocked "The Point" last weekend!!! |
||||
| Everybody
that I spoke to said it was great and KB played like he was on fire!
|
||||
| You
do not know how inviting a cruise of your beautiful country sounds!
One day if we are blessed to live so long, the wife and I hope to visit
Australia. I have seen enough pictures to know that you country is very
scenic and we already know that I like the music there. |
||||
| ........see
you in the future 'oh grand funky one' |
||||
| I
wish KB could sail into Melbourne. ..sounds like a bargain to see the
Master. Watch that he dosen't walk on Water !!!! |
||||
| Borich
was hot at the Basement last night. |
||||
|
||||
| The kids are hangin
out to see KEV after what we told them about the basement
WOW,,i thought i saw
it all,,till now,,what a cool dude,,,he played with passion,,wit,and,far
removed from traditional boogie blues,,the lyrics were,witty,clever,and
atractive to everyones,,,attention, he never looked un easy or stuck
for words,,trully a world class act, played with so much ease, he
cruised it in ,,,we want more,,,we were in the front row table,,,
WOW,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,p,s i got to get one of those shirts he
was wearing |
||||
|
I know I will enjoy these cd's.I have a lot of blues friends around
Florida that will listen to these. He Will be a big hit in the central
Florida area. |
||||
| .......as
always a great interview. Thanks |
||||
|
Remember me I am the tall good looking guy from Melbourne, I got to
tell you that I am pretty pissed of with the morons down here that own
or run clubs down here.... We were pretty close to going to Adelaide
for the gigs the other week, but work got in the way again. This time
its not, If the cruise is still on count me in for two, and if it is
still on we are going to come up for WoY Woy and make a weekend out
of it. Can you please let me know whats happemning as soon as you can
because we have to book flights and accomadation, I wouldn't mind making
a fort=night of it and doing Queensland nbut hey, we do have to work.
Let me knoew as soon as you can Thanks, |
||||
| Kevin
Borich. The closest thing we can get to an original rock legend guitar
hero. |
||||
| Great
concert at the Basement Thursday nite!! Well Done and Thank You
|
||||
| Thanks
for this information!! What a sensational talent!! |
||||
| Hi,
Kevin! I was referred to your site by Rob Tognoni! I was telling him
that a bass player (Brent Kehoe from the Dylan Wickens Project) here
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, mentioned "discovering" Dave Hole and then
I turned him onto Rob Tognoni, who referred me to you! Great music and
I LOVE that National Steel guitar! Have you heard of Colin James "down
under"? He has a CD entitled "National Steel" (for obvious reasons).
He's pretty well-known here and as a matter of fact he's in concert
here in Toronto on February 15. I've already got the tickets - yah!
Anyway, once I get my "international" section going on at my website,
I'll be sure to include you, Rob and Dave as my fave Aussie artists
|
||||
| Received
the cds, I haven't stop playing them. I can't stop playing "Heartstarter"
This song should be a hit! Kevin should be proud of them. |
||||
|
Well you've done it again! Watchin Kev play Angels
Hand on that old Gibson, while kruzin past the Sydney Opera house, is
definitely my idea of stress relief. Thanks for a great afternoon!
|
||||
| Thank
you for a totally incredible afternoon. Cruising Sydney Harbour while
Kevin Borich does what only he can do has blown my mind. Amazing day!
4 hours? Not enough!
|
||||
| As
for the cruise ...well the 'holy one' surely walked on water this time..
well played I mean ....it was all unbelievable....Jimi I love you but....someone
has come to move you over ....the goosebumps havent gone away as yet.....thankyou
Kevin .... |
||||
| Just
letting you know we got the CD and the picture. Dave was really happy
with it and with the fact that KB signed it for him. Just wanted to
say thankyou... |
||||
| Thankyou
for the most incredible cruise... |
||||
| Thanks
for a great evening with Kevin last Friday night. Here are a couple
or three photo's I took of Kevin and the boys at the Give Me Ted Concert.
|
||||
 Kevin Borich, John Annas, Grant Cummerford @ Gimme Ted Benefit for Ted Mulry |
||||
| I
can't wait till I see him play again- always a magical experience
|
||||
| gday
kev well i must say the harbour cruise was fenominal Having been a fan
of yours for a long time now it was great to do some serious rockin
on the harbour . Ive got to say kb your music is like a good wine it
just seems to get better with age (no offence to you of coarse lol)
I do hope that this cruise will be one of many to come . Oh and by the
way its also good to see that you are playing in cronulla soon i sure
will be there , its a pitty you dont play in the shire more often .
Anyhow keep rockin kev and next time i see you live i do hope you play
GONNA SEE MY BABY TONIGHT1!!!!!!!!! what a classic . cheers
|
||||
| Last
sunday was fantastic. Kev is by far the greatest entertainer of any
kind ever to set foot on the stages of this world. The drummer on sunday
night was awsome, he jelled with Kev perfectly. Will we see more of
him? |
||||
| I
have been listening to the Big Kahuna on the train. ( It's a fair hike
from the Central Coast to the City) You know , every time I listen it
just keeps getting better. Big thumbs up. |
||||
| Thanks
again for getting Kevin to sign my CD's. I can't stop playing them..
|
||||
| Thank
Kev for the words...it has been a sad sad week. I'm no Christian, but
Shirl and Ted deserve something after this life...then again that's
what makes us all get the most out of this, our only proven life. At
least their music goes on. |
||||
| Sad
loss.....anyway keep rocking as youre music lifts alot of peoples hearts.
Your music stands alone.... |
||||
| Sad
news about Ted - sounds like KB did him proud on stage though - I would
have expected nothing less. One of the most selfless people in rock
I have ever met - keep slidin' Kev, and how about a jaunt to the East
Coast of the US?! |
||||
| I
have received the CD's that I ordered,and I am enjoying listening to
them very much. My son has also picked up on the music and has been
trying to work out the riffs etc to some of the songs on the "Live at
the Big Kahuna", Vol 2, which is my favourite CD of the three I purchased
from you. |
||||
| my
sister and I were at Kangaroo Point and had a ball. your set was awesome,
and we grooved to the max. my sister has cancer, and she is battling
at the moment. she loves grooving to you, and was up on the dance floor
with her walking stick doing her best. I am having a tough time coming
to terms with what may be ahead, and your message here has helped me
to see a different picture about what happens when we check out of the
big hotel. I have been a muso most of my life (married two of them)
and am now doing some jazz singing. love being at your gigs, you, harry,
mark, lucius are a knock out - I am in awe of your talent. |
||||
|
||||
| YOU
GUYS ROCK |
||||
| Kev,
was great to hear you play again - such a blast from the past - everyone
is playing so well ! |
||||
| Sorry
to hear about Ted Mulrey passing away. Whats the world coming to, Shirley
first and then TM. Better stay out of the skies Kev. I was a real fan
of TMG and SKYHOOKS. Saw them many times when I lived in Sydney. You
take great care of your self and can u pass on my condolences to the
TMG clan/family. |
||||
| The
loss of two great musicians is very bad news. It must be very difficult
for you as they were both friends. Ted was a great musician and the
Gimme Ted concert made people even more aware of his talents. Anyway
keep rocking as youre music lifts alot of peoples hearts. Your music
stands alone.... |
||||
| Thanks
for the welcome Jennifer..I've been a fan of Kevins for as long as I
can remember. I learnt and played his version of All Along the Watchtower
when I was younger because his version was more clean and honest. I
still play in band here in Adelaide and hope to meet up with Kevin one
day..He still is the best... |
||||
| The
first time I heard u play was at the Runaway Bay Tavern, five to six
years ago. I love your music! Since then u have inspired me to purchase
a Fender Stratocaster Duluxe. I have never played a guitar in my life.
I am getting lesson and haven't looked back. Please let us know when
u are playing on the Gold Coast. Yours Truly |
||||
| Kev
wholehartedly blows me away every time. I can`t say enough about just
how fantastic Kev and his band are. Thanks for the Australia CD. It
is very solid. It was a top night ... Let me end this with my standard
call, more albums, more murchandise, more albums, more murchandise and
on and on |
||||
|
Just a short email to see if you could inform us when you will be visiting
the Gold or The Sunshine Coast, I am eager to come to another gig..
|
||||
| Where
can I get hold of the EMI releases of the first two KBE CD's? I have
been waiting for years for them to come out and now I can not find them...
|
||||
| Remember
to let me know if you guys come to the Gold Coast!!!!!!!! |
||||
| I
look forward to receiving the CD's as I have been a fan of the music
played by the Kevin Borich Express, the La De Das and Kevin Borich in
solo form since the early seventies. |
||||
| I
think a New Year's resolution has to be made ... come to Melbourne Kev
!!! |
||||
|
I first saw the express perform on a Tuesday night at the Bondi Lifesaver
back in about 1977 ( I moved to Perth in 1978) I will keep an eye on
the web site to see if I can catch a performance hopefully in Perth
or when I am in "the east". |
||||
| thanks
for the Heartstarter CD - I am really getting into it... and now I know
why you called it heartstarter! |
||||
|
when is kevin touring back up here on the central
coast?we are in need of some good rock and roll,to get us thru xmas.
hope to see kevin soon |
||||
| Looks
like my wife and I will have to fly up from Melbourne to see you. Will
be FANTASTIC to catch up with you guys after all this time |
||||

(our boy in UK) has been cranking up KB Live at the Blue Anchor Hammersmith
- same pub where "Sliding Doors" with Gynneth Paltrow was made. Says
KB has many new fans, is loved there & have asked for kevins website.
One young punk guitarist from Germany thinks he's filth! |
| we
are musicians like U down at eastybeach Corrimal, the only difference
is we don't have 30yrs experiance in rock n' roll to draw from. U
are most welcome anytime to pop in, check out our gear, our music
live in the loungeroom. We rocked to your riffs & melodies (there
isn't enough of these elements in today's rock), at your last Corrimal
Leagues Performance, 2000. U inspired us to write & structure our
music towards a more traditional/classic rockblues roots, especially
when you play slide guitar.(Monstrous slide riffs - we love'm). Looking
forward to Fri Nov 2001 at Corrimal Leagues once again |
| my
good fishin mate k.b. well once again another great concert and i
must say i was absolutley stocked that kev and i finially went fishin
onya kb cant wait for the next gig i wonder what the catch of the
day will be then ! Keep up the great gigs kev and hope too see u again

mate |

I have received the CD's that I ordered,and I am enjoying listening
to them very much. My son has also picked up on the music and has
been trying to work out the riffs etc to some of the songs on the
"Live at the Big Kahuna", Vol 2, which is my favourite CD of the three
I purchased from you. I have been a fan of the style of music played
by KB for many years but not only because of the music. About thirty
years ago, I was like many teenagers at the time trying to jam with
mates in garages, playing Cream, Hendrix etc and not being very good
at it. One of my mates was the envy of us all because he owned a genuine
white Fender Stratocaster AND a 40 watt Golden Tone amp and ended
up playing in a group called Atlas, that did covers of Santana and
Cream songs. In that band were two brothers, one John Annis on drums
(who I believe used to pack panty hose in a factory in Brunswick as
his day job)and his brother on bass guitar. You know where John ended
up playing.There is a link however vague. |
| our
boys like blasting KB & they pinch our records and CD's and drive
us mental wondering if we'll get them back - " that bloke called Borich"
has a bit to answer for!!!!! Did KB blast them away at Ulladulla!!!!!!!
and will there be another great KB Harbour Cruise coming up soon. |
| Saw
KB at Batemans Bay 17 Nov .... Fantastic show ... & Harry Brus was
AWESOME!!!!!! KB's still got it!! |
| Corrimal
Leagues Club for a sensational two sets from Kevin Borich with Harry
Brus on bass and Mark Kennedy on drums.. standing room only and a
packed dance floor from the opening minutes as the Kevin Borich Express
turned in one of the best performances they have done for a long time.
Should have been recorded live.. |
| G'day Borich & Co. I'm a 21yrs old and have been listening to Kev since I was 17, I heard that Kevin is playing The Healer this month so I got out The Big Kahuna and have been thrashing it. I have introduced the sounds to my mates and they'll be at The Healer as well, I can't wait to hear "Angels Hand"I hope he p[lays it. See ya at The Healer ROLL ON! |
| Recieved
the KB Australia CD yesterday. Should we start calling Kevin 'JIMI'?
This is as close as to sounding like Hendrix that you'll get...most
impressed. Once again THANKS |
| Thanks
for letting us know about Kevin coming down to Newcastle's Phoenix
Club. We'll be there with our Christmas Bells on !! There will be
a group of us coming and I hope we get a chance to talk to Mr Borich
as we have some keen guitarists among us. |
| had
a ball last night, thanks for introducing me to Harry, he's THE coolest.
I picked up the bass in 90/91, after seeing him play.........
I'm sitting down learning
some of Kev's tune's over christmas. |
| ....could
you please send any information regarding Kevin. You know how much
we love him. |
| We
went to a show of yours at Sanctuary Point and got the other CDs that
night but we need these CDs to complete the set so far. It will be
great if you could do a favour for me and sign them for my boyfriend.
|
| Saw
Kevin last night at Woombye Pub (20/12) sensational. |
| England
have EC America Buddy Guy and we have KB |
|
Just wanted to let u guys know how much we loved
the concert today, 23/12. You were amazing as usual,also the doc,
bass player was absolutely fantastic. we are so disgusted at the RSL
for giving in to that whingey whiney bunch of no hopers at the pokies
. How dare they complain about you being too loud. they are just old
narrowminded, people that shouldnt have a say in a great artist doing
his stuff. we complained bitterley to the people there about it but
I just wanted u to know that that was only 1 percent of the peoples
view. YOU WERE BLOODY FANTASTIC - AS USUAL. KEEP IT UP. WILL GO AND
SEE U ANYWHERE. I'VE FOLLOWED U SINCE THE EXPRESS DAYS IN THE PUBS
IN MELBOURNE AND ALWAYS LOVED YOUR MUSIC. MUCH APPRECIATED CONCERT
TODAY. THANKS. |
| I
wanted to hear you to see how much practice I would need to do for
the jam we discussed. I came away thinking about 20 years should do
it! I was living in America at the height of your fame so knew you
more by reputation than knowledge. Didn't realise you were so damn
hot! I can punch out better solo's than allot of players I hear but
you're in a different league altogether. Thus I'm reluctant to waste
your time on a jam with a "weekend" player such as myself.
|
| I
really enjoyed Kev's show! I watched and danced in awe of him and
his talented musicians. |
| And that KB Big Kahuna is being blasted 24hrs (says our son) they love Canefield "when your driving through QLD" and his Swedish girlfriend loves his music to So KB will have to keep boogieing for these 21 and 22 year olds!!!! |
| let
2002 be the year that this time next year we can say we all got our
wishes we all hoped to get!! |
