THE MUSICK EXPRESS

Forming in Adelaide in the late 60s, The Musick Express became very popular with their South Australian audiences. A group lucky enough to be around when the Adelaide scene was still at its peak. The group were always at the forefront of music during their time. The band played at most of the top venues during the late sixties including The Scene. They appeared on many TV shows, gigged extensively in Melbourne and toured throughout Australia.

They headed to Sydney as house band for the controversial stage production of Oh Calcutta! The band rehearsed the show for a month, however, Mr Justice Little in the Supreme Court described the show as “filth” and granted an injunction. What would have been the first production of the show outside the United States was closed before it opened and 80 cast and crew were dismissed. This proved to be the end of the group. They released one single on the Columbia label, ''Jackie's Thing'' in 1970 written by their guitarist Trevor McNamara. The single got to #15 on the Adelaide charts.
