Hold onto your hats folks. The Sharp are reforming for a handful of shows including Live at the Bundy!
The lineup is Charlie Rooke (guitar/vocals), Piet Collins (drums/vocals) Scott Owen (double bass ) and Louie Lee Fetrin (Vocals) .
Formed in Collingwood in 1990, the three piece already had a strong live following but when they released an independent single “Love Your Head” the band quickly gained radio support on Triple R and PBS. Triple J were soon behind the band and a record deal with Warner Music was struck. Their debut album 'This is the Sharp” went Gold and the band received Aria nominations, magazine covers and appearances on just about every TV/Radio show in Australia. Comedy program The D-Generation loved “The Sharp” so much they did a parody of hit single “Scratch My Back” and it became “Skivvies are Back” in reference to the now famous black skivvied uniform the band had adopted. Rigorous touring ensued before the band settled into the studio to record its second album “Sonic Tripod” with American producer Rick Will (Ziggy Marley, Diesel). A brief tour of Europe and the US saw the band back home exhausted but ready to take on more touring. Finally, after nearly five years in the limelight, the rigorous touring schedule brought the band to a crossroads and a decision was made to end on a high note. A collection of singles “Single File” was released as the band’s final album and a final tour “Thank you Goodnight” saw them playing to packed houses around the nation. When the band played its last shows in 1995, many (including the band), wonder when (or if) it could all happen again. Stay tuned in 2024, there is good news on the way!
