Graeham Goble Attacks Lose Of Heritage On New Record

Little River Band founder Graeham Goble will address the current ownership of the band's name on his new record 'The Days Ahead'.

The much talked about 'Someone's Taken Our History' documents the current state of Little River Band. The band still tours in the USA without any original members and performs mostly a set of songs written by Goble and co-founders Glenn Shorrock and Beeb Birtles.

The lyrics features lines such as "Someone's taken our history, and someone's taken our songs for free, we wrote the words and the melody, now someone else sings are harmony, Every night when the lights are low, In the darkness, they'll play our show, Just as if they were really us, then they get back on the bus".

The content is about the decade long battle for the rights for Birtles, Shorrock and Goble to use the Little River Band name, a battle that has been a bittersweet victory for the trio with severe restrictions on the use of the name.

Goble addresses the situation of what is effectively seems a Little River Band covers band with "Put our name up in lights, they'll be here tonight, They can stand on the stand but they don't have our DNA'.

Goble's 'The Days Ahead' will be released in September though Phil Mortlock's Origin label.
