PODCAST: Australian Crawl’s Bill McDonough on Alive 90.5 fm Australian Spectrum Show featuring their music and talking about Bill's recently published book “Sons Of Beaches”.
Founded in 1978, Australian Crawl has sold over 2 million records and been awarded some of Australia’s highest music accolades, including an induction to the ARIA Hall of Fame in 1996. This is the true story of two brothers, Bill and Guy McDonough and how their lives together lead them to success at the top of the music charts. This is a warts and all music memoir—it’s about the good times and the bad, and how the trappings of fame ultimately lead to Guy’s tragic death in 1984. It’s an extraordinary tale of adventure and achievement—and how two close knit brothers were part of a music legacy that lives on today, over 40 years after the band’s foundation.
Bill McDonough, along with his brother Guy McDonough, was a member of the iconic rock band Australian Crawl. Bill played drums and composed several of the band's most memorable hits including Downhearted and Shutdown. Bill has also worked as a Record Producer, jingle writer and music industry Consultant. Also Bill has had lunch with Neil Young in Hawaii, beers with Glen Frey (The Eagles) and shared a NZ spa with Willie Nelson and many more music encounters, toured extensively as well as many TV and radio appearances.
