Chris Bailey, Frontman and Founder of Pioneering Punk Band the Saints, Dead at 65

Chris Bailey, the founding frontman of the trailblazing Australian punk outfit the Saints, has died at age 65. “It is impossible to exaggerate the resulting radical galvanising effect," Nick Cave wrote, adding that their shows "changed the lives of so many people, myself included.“

Chris Bailey of the Saints: the voice that tore across the world, and changed the face of Brisbane

(I’m) Stranded, the first single he cut with his band the Saints, tore through like nothing else on the radio. Bailey’s singing recalled the young Van Morrison: impatient, howling, spitting out lyrics that radiated the indignities and frustrations of growing up in a city at the arse end of the world.

Den Sound von 1977 brachte die australische Band auf den Punkt

Sein Einfluss auf Punk und Rockmusik manifestierte sich durch Respektsbezeugungen anderer Musiker: Die australische Rockband INXS ließ Bailey bei ihrer Welttournee 1993 im Vorprogramm spielen; Bruce Springsteen coverte einen Bailey-Song; Die Toten Hosen luden Chris Bailey als Gastsänger ein; und Nick Cave nahm mit Bailey ein Duett auf, den Song "Bring It On".
