Mic Conway - What's That Sound


This is a deleted ABC Music album 1997 from Australian performer, Mic Conway.

Mic has been in the Australia music scene for many many years and is probably best known for his work in the 70's Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band.

The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band was an Australian band, active throughout the 1970s.
It was based in Melbourne and centred around singer and multi-instrumentalist Mic Conway ("Captain Matchbox") and his brother Jim Conway, who is widely regarded as one of Australia's finest exponents of the blues harmonica.
Inspired by early jazz recordings and the jug band music they heard on reel-to-reel tapes as teenagers, they formed a band which grew within a couple of years from an underground art school band to a national icon, with film and television appearances and regular appearances in the charts.
Their debut LP Smoke Dreams (1972) was released in the USA and was also issued in the quadraphonic format.
Their second LP Wangaratta Wahine featured a cover illustration by noted Australian cartoonist Michael Leunig.
The brothers continued the group through many lineup changes until a tragic truck crash while on tour in 1979 which ruined the band financially and emotionally, and after paying off their debts they disbanded.
Mic Conway continues to record and perform regularly, both as a solo artist and with his National Junk Band.
Jim Conway has also worked on many musical projects and remains a sought-after soloist, although in recent years his health (but not his playing )has been significantly affected by the onset of Multiple Sclerosis. He now uses a wheelchair and has formed his dream band Jim Conways Big Wheel. (***source - Wikipedia)
