History

Beginnings

The Living End formed in 1994 after Chris Cheney met Scott Owen. Christopher John Cheney (born January 2, 1975) is the Guitarist, main Songwriter and Lead vocalist in the Australian Scott Bradley Owen (born February 14 1975) plays the Double bass in the Australian rock band The Living End. The two boys were first introduced to each other by their older sisters at a family get together/BBQ. They both attended Wheelers Hill Secondary College in Melbourne. Cheney was obsessed with 80's rockabilly group the Stray Cats. The Stray Cats are a Rockabilly band formed in 1979 by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer (Bloodless Pharaohs/ Brian Setzer Orchestra) with Owen decided to learn the double-bass in favour of the piano after going with Cheney to see Stray Cats play live. He purchased the bass with only $1500 in his bank account, which was meant to go toward a first car. They formed a cover band under the name 'Runaway Boys' in 1992, after the title of a Stray Cats song[1]. Year 1992 ( MCMXCII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar)

However, by 1994 Chris and Scott were writing their own material, which is when they decided to change their name to The Living End, a reference to the film Rock Around the Clock. Rock Around the Clock is the title of a 1956 musical motion picture that featured Bill Haley and His Comets The group went through a procession of drummers before settling on Joe Piripitzi. Joe Piripitzi was the First Drummer for the Australian Rock band The Living End. Cheney considered Joe an ideal drummer due to his charismatic appearance[1].

The Living End got their first big break in 1995 when, after sending a t-shirt and a demo tape to Billie Joe Armstrong, they landed a support slot in Green Day's upcoming Australian tour. Billie Joe Armstrong (born February 17 1972 in Oakland, California) is the lead vocalist, main Lyricist, Pianist and Green Day is an American rock trio After the tour, the group went into the studio to record their debut EP Hellbound which received moderate support from community radio stations. Hellbound is the first commercially released EP by Australian rock band The Living End.

In November 1995, the band went back into the studio to record their second EP It's For Your Own Good which they released several months later. It's for Your Own Good is the second EP by Australian rock band The Living End. This recording yielded their first major radio airplay with the song "From Here On In", which was placed on high rotation on the youth radio network Triple J. Shortly after the release of the second EP, drummer Joe Piripitzi was fired as his lifestyle choices were said to be holding back the band[1], being replaced with Travis Demsey. Travis Demsey was the drummer of Australian band The Living End from May 1996 until February 2002 Demsey was soon playing with the band at major festivals such as Pushover and the Falls Festival, and was considered to drum very much in the style of Keith Moon.

After a year touring Australia, The Living End again headed into the studio to record something new to sell at their live shows. The result was the Second Solution/Prisoner of Society double A-side single. " Second Solution/Prisoner of Society " is the first radio single/ EP from The Living End, following after the group's second EP

Breakout

Second Solution/Prisoner of Society quickly became a national hit, the double A-side becoming the highest selling Australian single of the 1990s, peaking for several weeks at No. " Second Solution/Prisoner of Society " is the first radio single/ EP from The Living End, following after the group's second EP 4 and receiving the 1998 ARIA Award for Highest Selling Single. It lasted a record-breaking 47 weeks on the ARIA Top 50 singles charts.

The band signed on to Modular Recordings for the release of their debut self titled album. The album was an instant hit with Australian audiences. The Living End became the second- (now third-) highest-selling debut rock album in Australian music history after (now 5 times platinum), and charted at #1. During this period 6 singles were released including the previously stated double A-side, and in addition "Tainted Love", a live cover, was released as a radio-only single on Triple J. The Living End's breakout was the most successful part of their career so far.

The Living End were awarded two more ARIA awards in 1999 for Best Group, and Best New Artist.

Roll On

The Roll On album in 2000 was a more creative work, but did not manage to achieve the status of their earlier album. Roll On is the second album by Australian rock band The Living End, released in Australia and New Zealand on EMI in 2000 and internationally Cheney later stated that he was trying to prove to critics that The Living End were not a band simply defined by their hit "Prisoner of Society", and the album showed this by displaying other influences, as well as their traditional fast-paced rockabilly music. The album even garnered comparison, by a few critics, to seminal punk band The Clash's creative breakthrough, London Calling. For the debut album by The Clash see The Clash (album The Clash were London Calling is the third album by English Punk rock band The Clash, released 14 December 1979 on CBS Records in the UK and in January 1980 [2] Much of the style was comparable to 80's hard rock and pub rock, as well as many tracks being obscure mixes of many ideas, resulting in 'procrastinating' structures. This defined the album's creativity.

During this period, relative success was achieved in addition in the USA, with the band receiving America-wide coverage by playing on both Conan O'Brian and David Letterman's major late-night variety shows. Conan Christopher O'Brien (born April 18, 1963) is an Emmy Award -winning American Television host and Comedian, best known David Michael Letterman (born April 12, 1947) is an American late-night Talk show host and Comedian and the host since 1993

However, singles and success for Roll On was limited due to a twist of the fate. In 2001, the band hit a quiet period due to Chris Cheney's car accident on the Great Ocean Road, rendering him unable to play for a significant period of time. The Great Ocean Road is a 273 km stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Warrnambool He had been on the road to the house of a member of fellow Australian band Bodyjar. Bodyjar is an Australian Punk rock / Pop punk band based in Melbourne, which has been together since 1994 when they changed their name from

The Longnecks

In 2002, Travis Demsey left the band shortly after Chris's recovery, so he could spend more time with his family, supported by a developed dislike of heavy touring. [3] However, the dilemma was overcome when Andy Strachan was accepted as the new drummer. Andrew Douglas Strachan (born 20 August 1974 is the Drummer of Australian rock band The Living End. The Longnecks were formed to test out Andy Strachan and new material to be on the Modern ARTillery album, without attracting too much public attention. Travis Demsey now plays drums in a Punk / Folk Rock band called 'The Currency'. The Longnecks name has since been used by the band to try out potentially new album material for both State of Emergency and the band's upcoming 5th album, White Noise.

The band has also played under many different names such as Glen Waverly and the Mentones, Doncaster and the Dandenongs and the Redwings at various venues in regional Victoria.

Modern Artillery

At this time the band made a comeback, releasing "One Said to the Other" in late 2002 (originally released as an EP then later re-recorded for the album) and "Who's Gonna Save Us?" in 2003, and getting air play once again. " One Said to the Other " is a single by The Living End. " Who's Gonna Save Us? " is the first single off The Living End 's third album Modern ARTillery (Not including "One Said To This was followed by heavy touring (including Big Day Out) and the release of Modern ARTillery. Modern Artillery (typeset as Modern ARTillery) is the third Album by the Australian Punk rock band The Living End.

The Modern ARTillery album in 2003 was a return to musical simplicity in most tracks (the rock anthem "The Room" being an exception), but was certainly of a different style to the hard rock and psychobilly of the self-titled album, and the jazzy rockabilly of Hellbound and It's For Your Own Good. Instead, punk pop, computer-generated sounds, country music, and 60's style rock'n'roll had their share on Modern ARTillery, among other styles.

Due to the quiet period, their return was initially received with much hype compared to Roll On, with "One Said To the Other" becoming a top 20 hit, the album debuting at #3, and the promotion of 3 singles and 2 radio releases. However, the long run saw their stylistic change to be less popular, with overall sales of albums and singles being comparatively less than that of the self-titled album and "Roll On".

From Here On In

In late 2004, the band released a singles collection as well as a DVD, which included all video clips and a "supergig", collections of the band's most famous songs performed in Australia at Splendour In The Grass and Big Day Out in Sydney, and Summersonic festival in Japan. The DVD also featured the band's history - documented in interviews and home footage. The CD featured two new tracks: I Cant Give You What I Haven't Got and Bringing It All Back Home. Some editions were released with the bonus 'Under The Covers' disc, which featured 6 covers from various parts of their career.

Chris performed at the 2004 ARIA awards as part of the group The Wrights, featuring members of many other Australian bands. For the name see Wright. The Wrights were a one-off Australian Rock music " supergroup " Chris Cheney and Scott Owen won the Best Guitarist and Best Bassist awards for 2004 and 2005, in the Jack Awards.

State of Emergency

The Living End's fourth album, titled State of Emergency, was recorded in Byron Bay with Nick Launay,[4] following the band's appearance at the Splendour in the Grass festival. State of Emergency is The Living End 's fourth studio album It was released in Australia on 4 February 2006, in New Zealand Byron Bay is a town in the state of New South Wales on the easternmost point of mainland Australia.

The ARIA charts are the main Australian music sales charts issued weekly by the Australian Recording Industry Association. The Living End again played gigs under the name The Longnecks prior to recording the album, to test out new material.

The album's tracks are even simpler then Modern ARTillery's tracks, but with a more raw sound, so as to assimilate even further with the early releases and the self-titled album; also being aware that they sound best live and raw. Nevertheless, the new styles and other styles experienced in Modern ARTillery remain in State of Emergency to an extent; arguably most dominantly punk pop, rockabilly now being a less met blend of The Living End's psychobilly style.

The single "What's on Your Radio?" was released on 20 November 2005, and debuted at #9 on the ARIA singles chart. " What's on Your Radio?

Musical style and influences

Chris Cheney regards 1950's rock 'n' roll as his greatest influence and first musical love, with the band's sound initially based on that. Christopher John Cheney (born January 2, 1975) is the Guitarist, main Songwriter and Lead vocalist in the Australian [6] They regarded 1980's Australian rock as an important influence on the band, something the members grew up with and appreciated. 1980s rockabilly revival band Stray Cats inspired Scott Owen to use the double bass when the group decided to start making music. The Stray Cats are a Rockabilly band formed in 1979 by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer (Bloodless Pharaohs/ Brian Setzer Orchestra) with Scott Bradley Owen (born February 14 1975) plays the Double bass in the Australian rock band The Living End.

The Living End also consider themselves to be a rock 'n' roll band based on punk ethics, previously citing Iggy Pop, The Who and The Jam as bands with whom they share the same ideals, making a social commentary on what's going on around them. Punk ideologies are a group of varied social and political beliefs associated with the Punk subculture. James Newell Osterberg Jr (born April 21, 1947) better known by his Stage name Iggy Pop, is an American rock singer Songwriter The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964. The primary lineup consisted of guitarist Pete Townshend The Jam were an English Mod revival band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s [9] They have also been compared favorably to 1990's punk revivalists Rancid. Rancid is a punk band formed in 1991 in Albany California, by Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong. [10] However, the band do not consider themselves a punk band, merely a rock 'n' roll band who are influenced by punk. [11]

Amongst other bands, ex-Sum 41 guitarist Dave Baksh has suggested that it would be great if he could tour with The Living End, saying that they're all "really good musicians".
