HOME



Led by Glyn Mason following his departure from the famous Melbourne group Chain (and a short stint as leader of Copperwine when Jeff St. John left), this is what might be best described as country rock with some progressive elements. Mason went on to play with many other great Australian bands like Ariel, Richard Clapton and Stockley, See and Mason. Other members of Home had been in bands before with Gunther Gorman on guitar (ex-Salty Dog), Trevor Wilson on bass (ex-La De Das), Mal Logan on keyboards (ex-Healing Force/Carson) and Kevin ''Loppy'' Morris (ex-Hot Cottage) . 

Signed to Atlantic records they released their first album 'Home At Last' in 1973 recorded at Bill Armstrong's studio in Melbourne. Home played a sophisticated form of country rock, not dissimilar to the bands such as the Dingoes or early Little River Band or even the Savannah Silver Band. Phil Lawson (ex-SCRA/Bakery) replaced Wilson before Home released one other album in 1974, called 'Long Long Way To Nowhere' which featured the single ''Bang, Bang, Bang''.
