SUNDOWN


In 1970 after finishing in Sydney's rock musical Hair, Keith Glass (ex-Cam-Pact) returned to Melbourne and formed country rock group, Sundown, with bassist Mark Barnes (ex-Cam-Pact); Broderick Smith on lead vocals and harmonica, Kerryn Tolhurst on guitar; (both ex-Adderley Smith Blues Band) and Barry Windley on drums (ex-Chessmen, Cherokees, Quinn). The band managed to score a residency a few nights a week at the Garrison in Prahran. After a period of time Tolhurst departed to Country Radio and Broderick Carson joined Carson.

Sundown only released one single, "This Country of Mine / Outback Dan" on the Image label in June 1972. The track was written by Glass and was later recorded by Slim Dusty. The band members that recorded this single under the name Sundown were Keith Glass, (vocals/guitar/mandolin), Mike Edwards, (guitar/vocals), Steve Edwards, (bass/vocals), Dave Redapple , (lead guitar) and Barry Windley, (drums vocals). The original Sundown had broken up and this was the second iteration under the name Sundown. The film clip below is the later lineup performing on Hit Scene. Broderick Smith died in 2023.
