Selwyn Sounds<br />
Little River Band to headline festival<br />
WELL KNOWN for classic<br />
songs Cool Change, Lonesome<br />
Loser and Take it Easy on Me,<br />
Little River Band will return to<br />
New Zealand to headline Selwyn<br />
Sounds on March 2.<br />
The band is known for a string<br />
of instantly recognisable hits<br />
and was described by Eagles<br />
founding member Glenn Frey<br />
as “the best singing band in the<br />
world.”<br />
Total worldwide album sales<br />
and digital downloads of the<br />
band’s music now top 30 million<br />
and the group was the very first<br />
to have had top <strong>10</strong> hits for six<br />
consecutive years.<br />
It will be the first time the<br />
current line-up has toured here<br />
since the introduction of new<br />
rhythm and lead guitarist Colin<br />
Whinnery in February.<br />
Whinnery, of Nashville,<br />
brings a new voice and outlook<br />
to the band’s rhythm section<br />
while sharing lead vocal duties<br />
with the longest standing band<br />
member Wayne Nelson.<br />
Currently on a busy tour<br />
schedule in the United States, the<br />
band will only have a week break<br />
between a February 22 show in<br />
California and Selwyn Sounds.<br />
Little River Band’s next<br />
international tour after Selwyn<br />
Sounds is set for Germany late<br />
HITS: Little River Band will play at Selwyn Sounds on Saturday, March 2, at Lincoln Domain.<br />
next year.<br />
Originally formed in<br />
Melbourne in 1975, the band’s<br />
sound quickly became popular.<br />
Within eight months of forming,<br />
Little River Band had three<br />
Australian top 20 singles and<br />
two top <strong>10</strong> albums.<br />
They first travelled to the US in<br />
1976 and are now based there.<br />
The line-up of members has<br />
changed many times over the<br />
years and is now completely<br />
different from the original<br />
group. The last original member<br />
to leave was Derek Pellicci in the<br />
1990s.<br />
The last Australian member,<br />
Greg Hind, left the group earlier<br />
this year and was replaced by<br />
Whinnery.<br />
Nelson fronts the band on lead<br />
vocals and bass, supported by<br />
keyboardist Chris Marion, lead<br />
guitarist Rich Herring, drummer<br />
Ryan Ricks and newcomer<br />
Whinnery.<br />
Over their last few shows, the<br />
band has often opened with It’s<br />
A Long Way There before closing<br />
the set with crowd-favourite<br />
Lonesome Loser.<br />
The band was inducted into<br />
the Australian Recording<br />
Industry Association hall of<br />
fame at the 18th annual ARIA<br />
Music Awards in 2004 and Cool<br />
Change is rated as one of the top<br />
30 Australian songs of all time.<br />
