COLD CHISEL

Australian rock band Cold Chisel formed in 1973 and delivered an Aussie classic in debut single "Khe Sanh" 5 years later. The band's fortunes changed in 1979 with the release of 'Breakfast At Sweethearts'. The album was its first Top 10 hit.  In 1980, 'East' peaked at #2 and spawned the singles "Cheap Wine" and "Choir Girl". The next 3 releases topped the Album Chart in Australia: 'Swingshift', 'Circus Animals' and 'Twentieth Century'. 

Cold Chisel split in 1983, at the height of its domestic success. Lead singer Jimmy Barnes pursued a solo career, as did guitarist / vocalist Ian Moss. 

The group remained radio staples and Chisel finally re-formed in 1998. Other reunions followed. Steve Prestwich died in 2011. His drumming was included on some tracks on a brand new album from Cold Chisel entitled 'No Plans'. 'The Perfect Crime' followed in 2015.  Both proved the enduring popularity of the group, peaking at #2 in Australia.
