Chris Bailey of seminal Aussie punk band, The Saints, has apparently passed.
Just trying to find confirmation.
Extremely gutted if true.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Seems it is true.
Such a killer band. I'm glad I got to see their reformation on Cockatoo Island a few years back.
Better than any of the English or American punk music of the time

 

[bad boy bubby]

Where's the professor,
brand new smokes.
Classic lyrics

 

[bad boy bubby]

Double to finish.
Bailey had more of the writing here. Ghost Ships, and, Just Like Fire Would.
Springsteen covered the latter.

Geez I'm starting to feel like an old fossil, 64 is too young though. Such an icon in the 70's punk era (the good stuff) and a beacon to all young musos like myself to play in a band.

 

[bad boy bubby]

I forgot this one, Ghost Ships at Endeavour Field for that Australia Made concert!!

 

[shadowboxer]

Sad stuff
Just a reminder for the old to live like the young. Passes by all too quick.
I’m still getting over Chris Cornell and that was a way back.

also very saddened by the passing of Chris Bailey. I saw several line ups of The Saints in the 1980s, and also remember hearing them rehearsing at an old rehearsal studio on Day Street in early 1980 late one Friday evening.

At least we have Ed Keupper carrying on the legacy with The Aints.

Went to see Midnight Oil last night - Brisbane Riverstage…

Brilliant!

They obviously mentioned the loss of their bass player Bones Hillman (2020) and also closed the whole set with a mention of Chris Bailey and played a Saints song! Sorry, guys, I didn’t know the song, but it was a cool moment…

this one mate, this was your gig.
Know Your Product. The Oils have been covering it for a fair while now. Great, great song. The original is the second vid I put up.

Legendary band.

The crowd was singing the ‘big’ songs - US Forces, Power and the Passion, Beds are Burning - to the point where Garrett stopped and let us carry it along.

Awesome night. Surely they won’t stick to their ‘retirement from touring’ talk…

 

[Quigs]

How would Surely know?

Gilbert Gottfried has also passed away.

Wasn’t electrocuted as he?
