Playing the Best of the BRITISH INVASION and the Best of the 60’s!
 
Short of a time warp, the closest you can get to experiencing the power and shock of ‘60s rock music is to see The Substitutes live in action.
 
The Substitutes have been around for over four years recreating that ‘60s excitement and rawness that often gets lost with cover bands. Listen to a Dave Davies guitar solo or a Keith Moon drum roll and know that the ‘60s were about experimentation and risk taking, not just good pop melodies.
 
With the incredible vocals and superb guitar work of Neil Scott (ex British ‘70s rock band Chalice), a rhythm section comprising legendary musical director and bassist Peter Robinson (ex The Strangers and ‘80s on the Edge) and leading Melbourne rock drummer Peter Reed (ex New Dream, Gary Young, Phil Manning, Pantha, Lynne Randall, The Tremors, Johnny O’Keefe), plus the punk energy of Peter Summers on guitar and keys (ex Riverina Playboys, Strange Idols), The Substitutes faithfully produce the sounds of the ‘60s, just like the record, but with real spirit, dry humour and a passion that you will remember.
 
N.B. The careers of all the members of the 'The Substitutes' are documented in the Fifth Edition of 'Who's Who of Australian Rock' published in 2002 by The Five Mile Press.
