Entertainment on Board

In 1988, Braithwaite recorded and released his comeback album Edge. This LP featured a somewhat more adult contemporary sound than Braithwaite's previous work, and spawned four hit singles that returned him to the Australian singles charts after an absence of nearly a decade. Two of these hits, "As The Days Go By" and "All I Do", were penned by Canadian songwriter Ian Thomas; a third, "One Summer", was a Braithwaite original.

Braithwaite went on to have a number of solo hits in the early 1990s, including the Australian No. 1 "The Horses", a cover of a Rickie Lee Jones recording written by Jones and Walter Becker. He also made his first US chart appearance as a solo artist at No. 47 with the 1991 single "Higher than Hope", a song he co-wrote with Simon Hussey. By the end of 1991, Braithwaite's Rise album had become Australia's biggest selling CD of the year, and Edge had become the best selling album ever released by Sony Music Australia to that time.

In a career that spans over 40 years Ross remains one of this country's most respected artists. From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock, as a solo articst, or as songwriter of A-grade classics such as Eagle Rock, Cool World and A Touch of Paradise, or producer of the legendary Skyhooks, Jo Jo Zep. The Johnnys, and more recently The Screaming Jets, Ross's involvement with success has continued unabated. He fronted Daddy Cool and exploded out of the 70s playing rootsy 50's sounds. Then formed Mondo Rock who surfed the contemporary scene with chart topping singles and albums from the mid 70s to the late 80's. As a solo performer and major songwriter he continued to ahieve success and make his mark during the 90's and beyond.

Australia's biggest pop star of the sixties, Normie Rowe defied the logic of the times. His period of peak popularity came when the Beatles were dominating the charts around the world. It was the period of popular music where most established solo artists were suddenly banished from the charts, and young singers were joining or forming bands. And yet, here was this Melbourne teenager creating pop riots and becoming the first Melbourne recording artist to achieve a national Australian No. 1 hit.

The band formed in early 2001, with the aim of recreating the look and sound of The Beatles music LIVE, and to preserve the original enthusiasm, excitement and spirit of the songs.

The arrangements have been painstakingly reproduced. Every note and harmony is faithful to the original. This is not a cover band playing Beatles songs. It is the music of The Beatles sung and played like The Beatles played them, 100 per cent and full of energy.

The members of RUBBER SOUL have had a long association with each other and a wealth of experience in the music business. All have played together in various original and cover outfits over many years. Each member has been a lifelong fan of The Beatles and it's from that perspective RUBBER SOUL has sought to bring a totally authentic Beatles experience to the legions of other Beatles fans everywhere.
