Midnight Oil are one of the most 'Australian' rock bands this
country has produced. Born from the Australian pub rock scene that
gave us AC/DC, Cold Chisel and INXS, the Oils were able to break
out of that scene without compromising themselves in any way.
Indeed, their breakthrough overseas record was the most Australian
album they made. But it was not just the subject matter that made
them fiercely Australian; it was their stubborn independence, and
their refusal to play the rock'n'roll game and respect its rules
and masters. But more than any of this is the adrenalin rush of an
Oils show. Performances so intense that witnesses swore they had
seen the greatest Oils gig ever! Such was the belief that something
so powerful could surely not take place regularly. When they took
this overseas, audiences could often not understand a word they
were saying, but musically they recognised a common language:
powerful, unadulterated live performances. There is no band whose
live shows are spoken of with the same awe as the Oils.
