Coloured Balls - Flash Dave The Rave
Review by Wade Fahnestock
Coloured Balls' album, Flash Dave The Rave, is a raw and energetic rock and roll experience that captures the essence of the Australian pub rock scene of the early 70s. The album features frontman Lobby Loyde's powerful vocals and blistering guitar work, backed by a tight rhythm section that keeps the grooves driving throughout.
The album kicks off with the title track, "Flash Dave The Rave," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its catchy riffs and sing-along chorus. Other standout tracks include "Human Being," which features Loyde's wailing guitar solo, and the bluesy "G.O.D.," which showcases the band's dynamic range.
One of the album's strengths is its sense of spontaneity and urgency, as if the band is playing for their lives. This is evident in the loose and raucous performances on tracks like "Won't You Make Up Your Mind" and "That's What Mama Said."
