Pale Riders
Through the 90’s Pale Riders recorded and released three albums and two EP’s and held the stage with major rock acts up against legendary vocals, guitars and drums; three guys with a couple of acoustic guitars, a harmonica, a box and a washboard. During a national tour with Midnight Oil in 98 John Butler opened for the Riders at a small bar in Freemantle. When Pale Riders disbanded in 2001 John slipped through the crack they had been chipping away at and blew it wide open. They had called it a day just as their music had been on the verge of gaining broader market appeal. Pale Riders always seemed to be either before or ahead of their time; listening to their records now I realise that their music was timeless.
