World wide acclaim as a band with great songs, harmonies and
featuring Australia's pop music icons Glenn Shorock, Beeb Birtles and Graeme
Goble. Hits include Help is on its way, Reminiscing, It's a long way there and
Lady.
Where are they now?
After a bitter breakup many moons ago and some unsuccessful
reunions in the 90's, the band has successfully re-emerged as B.S.G. (Birtles
Shorrock Goble). Featuring the 3 main songwriters and singers, B.S.G. were
unable to use the name Little River Band as their former 'on a wage' lead
guitarist bought the rights to the name for a song after their break up.
Instead, they compromised on a new name, put together a red hot band and began
the task of reclaiming their rightful place in music history. This writer has
seen B.S.G perform and can confirm the original LRB never sounded this good.
The band is now touring the world and has released a must have DVD Live at the
Forum recorded in Melbourne, Australia.
Update: A conflicting account Reader Martin Starkie tells us a slightly different story: 'Little River Band continue to tour the USA each year, usually
playing some 100 plus shows. Contrary to information in an earlier
contribution, the LRB name was never "bought for a song" and the guitarist who
owns it was never "on a wage".
The current LRB contains the two longest serving
members of the band, both of whom were full members during the time that BS&G
variously departed. The band continue to excite audiences all over the US with
their energy, freshness and professionalism.'
