Southern Sons To Play First Shows in 25 Years for One Electric Day

When Southern Sons reform for One Electric Day in November it will be their first shows in 25 years.

Southern Sons formed in Melbourne in 1989 but their entire recorded output was released in the 90s.

Lead singer Jack Jones was yet to turn 20 when the first Southern Sons album ‘Southern Sons’ was released in 1990. By the time he was 21 he had a double platinum album and three hit singles.

The Southern Sons story is a short one, just three albums and it was over. It is noted that the final album ‘Zone’ featured a song ‘Don’t Tell Me What’s Right’ with Colin Hay, whose own band Men At Work had a similar trajectory burning out after just three albums.

The hits of Southern Sons are:

Heart In Danger (1990, no 5)

Always and Ever (no 16, 1990)

Hold Me In Your Arms (1991, no 9)

Lead Me To Water (1992, no 36)

You Were There (1993, no 6)

In 2004, The Libertines toured Australia for the first time, without Pete Doherty, due to his drug addictions. When the rest of the band toured Japan, feeling betrayed he burgled Carl Barat’s flat and was jailed for six months. Since then, Doherty has toured with the band notably in 2018, where they also played the Forum and, on this sold-out show, clearly devoid of drugs and shenanigans of the past, the two albeit more mature founding members Doherty and Barat have well and truly buried the hatchet.
