"Wanted To Be Alive" the soulful, blues, country rock album by Roadhouse Rebels recorded in July 2008, is packed with 11 songs of story telling, romance, nostalgia and fun.
Roadhouse Rebels is a 4-piece band from Orange NSW featuring well-seasoned musicians brought up on a diet of 50's, 60's and 70's music.
Hammond organist, lead singer/songwriter Ray Vanderby has a long history in the Australian music scene starting as the youngest semi professional organist in Australia in 1965. He jammed with like-minded musicians in shearing sheds around Orange NSW through his teenage years as he studied Hammond organ masters Jimmy Smith, Keith Emerson and Jon Lord. His own band Eros was runner up in the Hoadley’s Battle of the Sounds country final. Ray went on to record and tour with Stevie Wright, John English, Marcia Hines, Blackfeather and Doug Parkinson. In 1991 he won the W.R.O.C./BMG song writing competition out of 2,500 entries from across Australia.
Guitarist Paul Jones has had many years experience starting off as a teenage blues rocker in bands around Central NSW like Axent. He later toured with Johnny O'Keefe, Laurel Lee, Buddy Ambrose and Chad Morgan just to name a few.
Drummer Allan Brown has also played in the original line up of Orange’s Axent, then went on to play in other great bands Jigsaw, Thunderband and Confederates who won the Central West Heat of the Hoadley’s Battle of the Sounds.
Bass player Ray Campbell cut his teeth on the early Sydney scene playing in the house band at the Latin Quarter with Stewie Speers, Jimmy Sloggett and Ricky May. He also toured New Zealand in the 1972 production of “Hair” with Marcia Hines and Reg Livermore as well as in the resident band for the hit NZ show “The Happen Inn”.
"Hopefully we’ll hear a lot more from Ray Vanderby because that man is an absolute national treasure!” - Mark O'Neill WYN FM.
" A world class act!" - Garry Dalton 3WAY FM
