Fifty years after they first plugged in, The Angels continue to electrify Australian music with an undeniable energy that spans generations. Bass player Sam Brewster—son of founding member John—takes us deep into the band's remarkable evolution and enduring legacy.
The Brewster musical DNA runs deeper than most realize. Sam reveals how his family's artistic roots stretch back to his great-grandfather who performed in the first Australian Symphony Orchestra, his grandfather who conducted for the ABC, and now continues through a third generation with Sam on bass and brother Tom recently joining on drums. This musical heritage creates a powerful through-line in The Angels' sound—authentic rock that honors tradition while embracing fresh creative directions.
Sam offers fascinating insights into the band's current chapter, including their lineup changes, with drummer Nick Norton stepping into the frontman role and the release of their latest album "Ninety Nine." He shares the technical challenges of balancing parenthood with rock stardom, the complex process of modernizing their stage technology, and his personal musical inspirations ranging from Jeff Buckley to AC/DC. The conversation weaves through five decades of Angels history, from their humble beginnings as the Moonshine Jug and String Band to becoming one of Australia's most influential rock acts—a band Axl Rose credits as a primary inspiration for forming Guns N' Roses.
The Angels' Go For Broke tour represents everything this iconic band stands for—honoring their classic hits while showcasing new material that proves their creative fire burns as bright as ever. With 13 studio albums, 8 top 10 albums, and 17 top 40 singles behind them, The Angels remain a vital force in Australian music.

Experience their electrifying live show in a city near you and witness firsthand why Jimmy Barnes called them "a band that changed Australian music forever."
