Cheryl Lee:

That Radio Chick Cheryl Lee here. Welcome to the Still Rockin' It Podcast, where we'll have music news, reviews and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians and artists. Today we catch up with legendary Australian guitarist Kevin Borich, whose list of achievements is longer than your arm. Performed at the 1972 Sunbury Pop Festival. Toured with John Paul Young, supported Jeff Beck and the Rock Arena tour with Fleetwood Mac and Santana. Toured the US in support of other Aussie rockers, AC/ DC, much loved member of The Party Boys. The list goes on and on. Let's find out what has Kevin Borich been up to lately? To catch up on podcasts from other favourite artists, simply go to that radio. c hick. com. au. I can see you and I can hear you.

Kevin Borich:

Oh, wow, isn't that amazing.

Cheryl Lee:

That's always a good sign. How are you?

Kevin Borich:

I'm good.

Cheryl Lee:

All right, let's go. You're with Cheryl Lee, That Radio Chick, and I'd like to welcome into the Zoom Room today Kevin Nicholas Borich. Thanks for joining us, Kevin.

Kevin Borich:

Thank you, Love, it's great to be here.

Cheryl Lee:

We've got a reasonably new album to talk about, which is pretty exciting, but I'm wondering if we can maybe just take a couple of steps back before we do that.

Kevin Borich:

There's more than a couple yeah.

Cheryl Lee:

I've got so many pages here I don't know how

Kevin Borich:

Been a great ride, I tell you, and I've been lucky in many occasions. I've been in the right place at the right time.

Cheryl Lee:

It all started when you were 12 years old. You did your very first single in 1961.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, I used to stand in front of the radio and with a tennis racket and playing and my parents were looking at me a bit weird going. Well, I think they were probably going. What, do we get in balls? Or a guitar. Luckily they got you a guitar, yeah and I learned the Hank Williams Honky Tonkin song, which has got two chords and it's G all the way through, and when he goes around this town he goes to D for one beat and I thought, well, hey, I can play.

Kevin Borich:

Where mum and dad musical, yeah well they were migrants from Dalmatia, just Croatia, the coastline. They were completely poor. Obviously I didn't really know that my dad was involved in a Croatian band in Auckland. They moved out into the country and bought a broken down orchard. He obviously was away from all this, the scene where you know he was part of this band.

Kevin Borich:

I only found out probably two years ago. He used to tell me he used to play Tambarica, which is like a Bella Leica. Three years ago we went out to see Croatia and my daughter in London I got this photo, for someone said you can see a cousin in Podgorov and I didn't know I had a cousin there but anyway. But before, when my sister sent me a photo because someone sent her it, it was a shock because it was the two photograph thing of of a whole band of Tambarica and in one picture they were in traditional dress and the other one was all had suits on. Must have been quite well organized, yeah, but I think that they were just so busy working on the orchard, ending up to be one of the best ones in the district out at Hillpai, which is probably about 30 miles out from Auckland.

Cheryl Lee:

So you were born in New Zealand, Kevin. Yeah, but we adopted you as an Aussie.

Kevin Borich:

Yes, you have. Well, I spent most of my life here now. Part of the life whereby I needed to be able to play and make money, and New Zealand is more people in Sydney than a whole other New Zealand, really, you know, it's quite funny because nowadays, if you were in New Zealand and you wanted to go somewhere, you'd just go to America or England or Europe, because it's all about population numbers, really, isn't it? Yes, yes, but in those days the world was a big place, so going to Australia was a massive thing.

Cheryl Lee:

You came to Australia, you formed The Mergers with a couple of school friends and played after school and on weekends .

Kevin Borich:

We were playing shadow songs and not really singing. And then we had sort of heard the Beatles and we heard the Rolling Stones and we were all well, we were going to sing because we were pretty young. At high school I found a great drummer and bass player Brett Nielsen on drums and Trevor Wilson on the bass. That was the foundation when we went from two piece to four piece where we got Phil Key to be a rhythm guitar player. He turned out to be the lead singer because he had a great voice. The keyboard player joined us once

Kevin Borich:

We were doing a residency in Auckland, which was a den of inequity because we'd play to three or four in the morning. You know we had all kinds of creatures at that time of the night coming in, so it was quite educational. Of course we were playing covers. You know. We thought we're pretty cool and Mum and Dad had bought me a radio and my sister with a turntable and also a tape recorder which you could take out, so I was recording the BBC in all, like the Small Faces and Jimi Hendrix and stuff like that, and we were the hottest band in town getting all these stuff that wasn't released yet. It was coming straight back. Well done, yeah. Well, thanks to Mum and Dad. Yeah.

Cheryl Lee:

Yeah.

Tommy Kaye:

You are listening to Still Rockin' it. The podcast with Cheryl Lee.

Cheryl Lee:

Our guest in the Zoom Room today is Kevin Borich, and we're going to chat to him more after this. I love the La De Das version of the Beatles hit Come Together.

Cheryl Lee:

You wrote in 71, which became a top 10 hit single Gonna See Your Baby Tonight. Did you know you had these writing skills in you?

Kevin Borich:

In New Zealand, Trevor and Bruce were the writers at that time. I didn't start writing till in Australia, so I was a late starter and they were great writers and we had quite a few La De Das albums. The first one was all covers and then it was original stuff but they wrote that. But when I was here on a way back from a gig and Swampy's van and we had the best van because he had plane seats it was a double-wheel transit so there was a kind of a thing with the roadies in those days about who had the hottest van.

Cheryl Lee:

Cool van.

Kevin Borich:

And Swampy had the best, Wayne Jarvis, it was his name. So I was sitting behind him with my guitar and I just learned some little love chords I call them a major seventh chords. Which was the first thing that hit me when I found about those chords was that it's a love chord because it just sounds like love. I was pretending to be a sleazy night club singer and behind his head, you know, "I'm gonna love you. As he was driving, you know. And of course when it came to the end he goes well, what happens then? Everyone laughed. So then we got into the, into the chorus straight away. And yeah, I've got lots of the airplaneers. We still do it. When people want to hear it, they yell out for it. It was a great song to play because everyone have heard it on the radio. So that's the path to sort of getting well-known has been on the radio.

Cheryl Lee:

The sign of a good song is, wherever you go, a band is playing it.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, so it's, you know, and they're going to the psyche who likes music and listens to radios and stuff, and those days it managed to get on the commercial. These days it's hard for us to get on the commercial radio because it's not like it used to be, whereas DJs were passionate about what they did and then they had their own show and then they had their own content Community radio's like that now, which is very helpful for us, but the commercial radio, I think it all comes down from the record companies or you know, and they are told what to play.

Cheryl Lee:

Yeah, and the music director and what he puts on his playlist.

Kevin Borich:

Not like the old days when I went around the DJ could break a record, make it famous by you know thinking and sharing it with his listeners.

Cheryl Lee:

You know and sharing his passion for it. Let's hear it now. Gonna See My Baby Tonight. The La De Das from the legend album in 1975. Back to speak more with Kevin Borich after this.

Cheryl Lee:

After that, y ou played with John Paul Young for a while and then formed Kevin Borich Express.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, it was the La De Das went from five piece to four piece. I got a bass player and drummer and Ronnie Peel and we had a three piece La De Das and we did the Rock And Roll Sandwich album. Will I get the cover? sure, yes, please. You wouldn't be able to do this these days.

Kevin Borich:

Oh no, you wouldn't. That's my first like Three-piece, kind of writing my own stuff album, and people think it's great. No, I love it, my first outing. I even wrote one on piano on that. Th en you guys toured with Jeff Beck.

Cheryl Lee:

How exciting and Accadacca.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, we did one show with Jeff. We didn't actually tour them. We played some here in the early days, but I'll, I played two shows with them. We did two shows in those days. In America they do like a late afternoon show and then they kick everyone out and then the night shift comes in. And that was before that I would really he beat, and that was the last time I saw Bon and then we had bit of a party afterwards and that I had known him here.

Kevin Borich:

Funny thing was so when we were recording the K evin Borich Express album, and Angus and Harry and George were recording the AC/DC, their separate studio in the same complex and I saw Bon sitting on a grand piano was there and there was Bon sitting and writing lyrics and he was going oh, just can't write, this is all crap. You know he's going and they just want me to write stuff for the rock stuff. And I said, buddy, I think I think you'll do. Well. Now it's kind of like a you know an iconic sort of song I can't remember which one, but it was one of the real rockers, you know and he wasn't happy that he was writing something sort of more how we were soulful about something you know.

Cheryl Lee:

It's ironic, isn't it?

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, yeah it was, it was a funny thing. And then sort of down the track, when I did see him and now and I said, hey, those songs did pretty well for you. They were on the rise then, you know.

Cheryl Lee:

And your Borich Express appeared on our lovely Renee Geyer's Blues License album.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, that was great. That was very live. I think the vocals were put on later, but it was done very quickly. She wanted to do a blues album. She picked the songs that did one of mine which is called Bell Hop Blues you keep me waiting, Bell Hot Blues and so she did a version of that. They did a concert for her after she passed away and I played this and that's really has gone as well, which was a big favorite that we do.

Cheryl Lee:

We definitely miss her. What a strong singer and a strong female role model as well.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, she was amazing and she was the real deal as far as her gift that she had. It was just so internationally famous as far as how good it was, you know.

Cheryl Lee:

Yes, and what I love is that she was just unapologetically Renee, like her or loathe her.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, it was herself. Hence the song was written for the difficult woman.

Cheryl Lee:

She was a good friend, yeah.

Tommy Kaye:

You are listening to Still Rockin' it. The podcast with Cheryl Lee.

Cheryl Lee:

I think we should play that Renee Geyer song now from the Blues License album Bell Hop Blues, written for Renee by Kevin Borich, who played guitar on this track, along with four other tracks on the album. Back to speak to Kevin after this.

Cheryl Lee:

The Party Boys you had? He's Gonna Step On You Again and Hold Your Head Up, some great hits with them. Then you toured with one of my faves. Being an Adelaide girl, you've got to love Jimmy Barnes.

Kevin Borich:

Oh yeah, yeah, it was the Two Fires album and we did a tour of Australia and, uh well, one show in Auckland, I think, and they had the Rocker Billy band Stray Cats supporting them, which was great, because I love the Stray Cats. I was great to see them every night.

Cheryl Lee:

I would have seen you, I would imagine, because I think I've been to every one of Barnsey's concerts.

Kevin Borich:

I've got a photograph of him singing with me before he was with Chisel.

Speaker 3:

Oh, wow.

Kevin Borich:

An Adelaide. I'm gonna put it in my book because we were playing, playing on an Adelaide pub by the sea and I can't remember.

Kevin Borich:

In my break I was doing two sets of the guy comes up and goes this is young singer, wants to get up. You know he's really good. You should, should hear him, and I said, sure. So he got up and did Rock Me, Baby, and we did the riff as he come around, where he comes into singing. After about four or five lyrics I went god, this guy's gonna go somewhere. So that was young Jimmy.

Cheryl Lee:

Well, you've got a book coming out, have you?

Kevin Borich:

Oh yeah, well, you know, in the process of running out of steam writing it, yeah, so I'm too sensible now, so I don't get the trouble, can't write about anything. It's like, wow, did you do that? Everything's sort of pretty much done, really, except the proof reading, and so I've got to push on and and get that done. That'll be up probably the year up the next.

Cheryl Lee:

So stay tuned to your Googleometer and get on to that when it comes out.

Kevin Borich:

I'll be asking you to help me sell it.

Cheryl Lee:

Yeah, we'll chat again then.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, it's all about, you know, getting people to know. I've got the website for that, which is like KevinBorich. com. au People are interested in what I do. That's the place to go and see what we're up to.

Cheryl Lee:

A couple of things. I'd like to congratulate you on 77 and 78, best guitarist Australian Rock Music Awards. Congratulations.

Kevin Borich:

That was the early days. Yeah, that was great because you know, I knew I wasn't the best guitar player, but I was probably with the most popular in those days. I was a bit sort of thing about getting the best guitar player, because I go and see all these players and I think they're much, much better than me and they're all great. They had an awards night and the first one they didn't have the awards night and of course you know the industry is pretty young then. So I guess the next year they went oh, we should have an awards night and presentation and all that.

Kevin Borich:

So I was supposed to get up and pick it up but I drove around Hordon Pavilion, which was the venue that I was purposely late. Michael Chugg was managing me at that stage and here to get up and accept their award and he said he's done 366 gigs this year and this is the only one that he's missed. And then I walked on stage after and did Tango Queen, the song. I was by the door at the back with the bouncer who knew who I was, and so he let me, just after Chuggy receiving, because we didn't want to slow the process of the showdown, so we just walked up on stage and did our thing. Great to get the publicity and everything about it. And it helped a lot to get those awards because we'd get more work and be able to make a living here.

Cheryl Lee:

Still Rockin' It Podcast with Cheryl Lee. We'll be back to talk some more with our guest in the Zoom Room today, Kevin Borich, but let's have a sneak preview of one of the songs from his new duets album. This is with great mate John Swan, AKA Swanee. There is a Road.

Cheryl Lee:

How do you pick? I'd have all the great Australian artists you've performed with, supported, played with. How do you pick? 12.

Kevin Borich:

There it is. That's the album.

Cheryl Lee:

Great cover.

Kevin Borich:

Yes, I go. Who do you reckon would actually want to do something with me on the album? I'm a bit shy. My producer, Nick O'Donnell, did a lot of calling up. I knew that Tim Rogers would be interested because I saw a Rolling Stone interview that Gonna See My Baby Tonight was the song that inspired him to get into rock. So I thought, well, he's a candidate for sure. And he was. Nick got hold of him and we did that when he was up here performing at Brisbane Theatre in a theatre show in the afternoon. We went in there and sat up on the stage and of course we had the musical already done and he just laid his vocals on there. So there's a few different ways. Ian Moss came and did it here at our place when he was in New South. Joe Walsh did it by internet.

Cheryl Lee:

We have the technology these days.

Kevin Borich:

There's good and bad about these days. One of the good things is you can have a recording studio downstairs that's got the right preamps and a guy who knows how to work it. Then you can produce stuff that's world-class.

Cheryl Lee:

Once you've chosen who to play on the album, how then do you go about choosing what song you play with them?

Kevin Borich:

One of the reasons why I wanted to do it is because there were some songs that weren't really like a three-piece thing and would sound a bit empty. You know, because I wrote a couple of them on piano. The idea was serve the song. You know, if the song needed an organ, you'd use it. Whatever the song was asking for, say something like straight from the heart right, it's a soulful ballad. And I said, well, it'd be great to have someone who could have got a real soulful force. Well, Ian Moss is one of my favorite singers in guitar plays. I thought he'd be great.

Kevin Borich:

On this album I'm doing tag team style. The songs are I'd sing a line or the guest sings a line first and then I sing the other line and start tag team thing. I rang and he was into it. And Ella Hooper's is a shuffle, like a blue shuffle, but I think the next said why not treat it to trad jazz, you know? So we did it in that style.

Kevin Borich:

I met Ella on the Rockwiz was tour in Western Australia years before and I said the idea of doing a duet. I said I'd love to have you on. So we chased her down and, as we did with Suze Demarchi, kept running into her at airports when I used to fly a lot and I asked her to do it. And so she did it in Melbourne while she was doing the Baby Animals album, and just asked the engineer if she could put the vocals on a backing track that we sent her, and she did a great job. Everyone's done a great job. But Russell Morris was the first guy I did ask and he was sure, Kev, you know, I know Russell from years back, so he was very kind and good, a great job. We went to his lounge room and he lives up to Gold Coast these days and so I was a couple of hours from from where I lived in the lounge room and he watched him work his magic on the song called Call A Friend.

Cheryl Lee:

The first track of the album.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, the song's just has another song that really the actual content of the song said. Well, obvious, it's called Soapbox Bitchin'. Yeah, right, and it's about the banks and I'm angry, right. So the only thing is I'm angry and I'm going oh, light bulb, I'll get Angry.

Cheryl Lee:

Yeah, of course.

Kevin Borich:

Who else? That was an easy one.

Tommy Kaye:

You are listening to Still Rockin' it the podcast with Cheryl Lee. I think we better play that song next.

Cheryl Lee:

Soapbox Bitchin' with Angry Anderson from Rose Tattoo. Back to hear more about the duets album with Kevin Borich after this.

Tommy Kaye:

G'day folks, you're listening to me, Angry Anderson, from Rosie Tatts with Chezza!

Kevin Borich:

C overed in Blue, Angela Fabian, who you probably wouldn't know. She was on The Voice doing Amazing Grace. Blew the place apart was a soulful, so we got her to sing that song. But she also did backing vocals on There is a Road with Swanee. It's a gospel song. Of course we've got Angela to do all the backing vocals to get that soulful, y ou're actually in the church thing, vibe you know, yeah, beautiful.

Kevin Borich:

Covered in Blue, which is a song about Amy Whitehouse that I wrote that I love about Amy, but she seemed to be with the wrong guy. I reckon just went over the top. Ross Wilson and Joe Camilleri well, I really wanted those two because they're of my era kind of. You know. We used to support and do shows with Daddy Cool way back. Joe Camilleri, of course, is from those sort of era too, so really wanted to get them on it. We're our brothers in time, you know.

Cheryl Lee:

Yeah, no, I get that Joe was just a few last weekend. I'm going to have a chat with him in a minute actually.

Kevin Borich:

Who's that which?

Cheryl Lee:

Joe.

Kevin Borich:

Great, oh, he's out there doing it all the time. He's just flat out.

Cheryl Lee:

Yeah, he was at the Bridgeway here on the weekend, so when are you coming back, Kevin?

Kevin Borich:

Hopefully next year. I'll let you know.

Cheryl Lee:

Excellent, get on to Google about this album Duet. It's available at all the usual suspects and from your website as well.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, there's a link on my website and it goes to MGM with the most of the stuff, as I've just done at home and up. You know, a little cottage industry, you know, because it had all these people on it. I thought let's have a go and I had some advice from a friend, Steven Green, and he said that would be a good thing to do.

Cheryl Lee:

A couple of quick questions for you, then I'll let you go, because I know you're a pretty busy man. Six kids have any of your children followed you into the family music business, Kevin?

Kevin Borich:

Yes well, my first son, Lucius, is in a band called Cog.

Cheryl Lee:

I did actually know that.

Kevin Borich:

Fantastic band. You know, Lucius and I did an album together, a thing, which is called Borich, Borich and Brus, which was Harry Brus on bass and father and son playing at the Basement in Sydney, and that's available on my website too. Lucius is an amazing drummer. He did a great drum solo on it and actually on that show, Leo Sayer got up. M y bass player, we're walking off, you know, as you walk or something, there's usually an encore brewing from the audience.

Cheryl Lee:

Yeah.

Kevin Borich:

Harry goes, Leo wants to get up. I went, Leo who, Thinking Leo De Castro, who was a wonderful Maori singer from New Zealand that was living in Melbourne on Upton City, and he said, no, Leo Sayer, oh, really so. And he got up. When he whipped it was harmonica I went oh no, it's going to be a train wreck because we tuned down a semi tone and most harp players don't have flat harps. He whipped it out and I'm waiting for the oh the clash. And no, it was in tune. So he really knew. You know, he obviously must have. Harry must have warned him. He's a great harp player and since then he's become a good friend and we went down to his studio to put his vocal on Bring Loving Back Again.

Kevin Borich:

He wrote some lyrics on that one, Most of them I did myself, S wanee helped with the Gospel one and Bring Loving Back Again . Leo helped me and he gave me the title. And then I thought I want a song about the peace sign. How it's faded the time when this is going on. There's riots and everything. That's why I wrote Hate Pill. I thought all these riots in America, all these people are taking hate pills. Ross Wilson sings that one.

Cheryl Lee:

Still Rockin' It P odcast with That Radio Chick, Cheryl Lee. So many great songs on this Duets album. Let's have one with Kevin's great mate Leo Sayer, Bring Loving Back Again. Then we'll come back and say goodbye to Kevin Borich.

Cheryl Lee:

The other children.

Kevin Borich:

Oh, sorry, that's what we were trying to find out my little Holly, who is a twin, her and Chloe and they're twin girls. So I first noticed her having a musical talent when I'm in the car driving and there's a song on the radio and she's in the back and a sort of upright seat you know baby seat, not baby, but toddler. I'm hearing a harmony, but it's not coming out of the speakers, it's coming out of her and she's singing harmony songs and so she's a harmony machine. She's actually written an album and my producer produced it. We're all going well, you know, we've got to go out n ow. She was out there doing she played piano. I used to find chords on my phone before she had her own and this is like all these positions that she was learning. Did a great album and we're all sort of going well, this is good, but it was worth putting something i nto it and said look, you know you've got to get a band together. Because she was doing shows solo and so she wasn't shy of playing in front of people, and so we point that to her and she goes oh no, don't want to do that.

Kevin Borich:

So it was quite a surprise. She's studying about medicinal herbs and stuff now and living in Melbourne. Chloe could play really good rhythm guitar, but she's in an art gallery chasing artists and one of the girls that she picked got the Archival Prize. The last one she's in Sydney doing that, so I've all got their talents.

Cheryl Lee:

Well, the thing is, musical talent never leaves you. So you know, you just never know, down the track, round the corner, when they'll pick it back up again and run with the passion of it.

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, I encourage that because they were good, the two twins going and being twins, when they did the harmony, when Holly would sing harmony with Cloe, you know it was like the Everly Brothers but it was girls, you know, had that sort of blend thing happening. You know, beautiful yeah.

Cheryl Lee:

We're looking out for a tour coming up?

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, we were playing about five songs, on the show that we do. Be lovely to see you out there. We've got Melbourne in March next year. Looking at festivals and stuff like that. So we're in the jigsaw puzzle putting it together at the moment, you know.

Cheryl Lee:

Excellent, I'll see you down the front.

Kevin Borich:

The other thing too I'm doing a celebrity sort of Harbour cruise. It's the third of December. It's a Sunday sunset cruise nice, very romantic. I've hired a nice big boat, About 160 people can come on. On my website. You can get tickets there. We'll be sailing at six o'clock. We chuff around the harbour as the lights are coming on. Two things you've got, wonderful harbour to see come to life with the lights and you've got us rocking the boat as we go around.

Cheryl Lee:

What more could you want?

Kevin Borich:

Yeah, it's, it's a beautiful thing.

Cheryl Lee:

Get your tickets now, Because it can only fit so many people on the boat.

Kevin Borich:

Get yourself a Christmas ticket. I've had people from New Zealand.

Cheryl Lee:

Beautiful idea. Well, can't wait till you hit little old Adelaide next.

Kevin Borich:

Haven't been there for a while, but we look forward to it, thank, you so much for your time today Kevin.

Cheryl Lee:

All the best with the album. It's a goodie.

Kevin Borich:

Thank you bye.

What else do you think we might go out with other than my second favourite guitarist, Cold Chisels Ian Moss, Straight From My Heart From the Duets album.

Cheryl Lee:

You're with Cheryl Lee That Radio Chick. Thank you so much for joining me on the Still Rockin' It podcast. Hope to catch you again next time. Get out when you can support Aussie music and I'll see you down the front.
