Post by: Rodamo on Tue 17 Feb 2009 23:58:36

Can anyone help with with a song,it was in the mid 70's,pretty sure they were an aussie band.the line I remember from the song went something like
"snap,I like dancing",or something very simular,it was a long time ago,and my memory fails me :o,but I remember ,it was a good song!

Hope the brains trust here can help me ;)

That was a terrific song, and album "One More Squeeze" was pretty good also, but such a departure from their established live work.

I see there are a few Redhouse (Redhouse Roll Band) clips posted on YouTube, more reflective of the onstage performances.

Had a good listen to album, I can hear a lot of  " THE SWEET"  styled vocal arrangements in the harmonies,especailly track 9
which is no mean feat,some of those vocals are quite high,great stuff me thinks.... :o

The guitar riffs and chord progressions seem way ahead of their time (maybe bit of Brian May influence), but still hold up today, I hope they were recognised for this at the time. The only small criticism I have (just my 2 bobs worth) is the actual lyrics in some of the songs.....but then who am I to critisise a hard rocking, tight unit known as REDHOUSE


   " I like smoking my cigar..........will you smoke with me...yeah yeah " :'( :'( :'(

They were a lot better live, they were the resident band on Wednesday nights at the Croxton Park Hotel Thornbury Vic back in the late 70's don't ask me what year.....me and a few mates always went to the Crox on Wednesday nights...don't know how we went to work the next day....as we were all pissed on those nights ;D
