Hush - The Best Of 1973-77 (2000)

The band had it's beginnings in 1970 and continued in various forms until the end of the 70s, with 1975being their most successful time. Their biggest hit was Bony Moronie, an energetic cover of the Larry Williams US hit from eighteen years earlier, and it was the one of the ten bestselling singles in Australia during that year. No mean feat when you consider that Hush were competing for chart space with the likes of Abba and The Bay City Rollers, plus the local dynamic duo of Sherbet and Skyhooks, the only Australian acts to do better than the this Sydney based quartet. Lead singer and founder Keith Lamb was a charismatic front man, demanding attention from his audiences, and Hush were nothing like any of the other home grown rock bands. They were rockers, no doubt, but they had their own persona. Hush is probably the closest Australia ever got to having its own glam rock band.
