THE DELLTONES BASED: Sydney, Australia If there can be said to be such a thing as a last laugh then, a half a century on, the Delltones can be said to have had it. They have more than outlasted rock 'n' roll's critics, cynics and doomsayers, providing us with an admirable example of the enduring power of the extraordinary hybrid music form that distilled the essence of what had gone before into a true life force; one which redefined popular culture. "When we first started in 1958" Peewee points out, "there was no local music industry and radio was mostly playing imported records. So lot of people were telling us that we might as well enjoy ourselves while we could because that music wasn't going to last; rock 'n' roll was a passing fad which would soon disappear." In fact, the Delltones, have never been more visible. Their 50th birthday celebrations will include the BoppaDooWop national tour of theatres, clubs, Town Halls and Civic Centres, a live BoppaDooWop album. Seen recently at the memorable benefit concert for the legendary Max Merritt at the St. Kilda Palais, where 60s, 70 and 80s icons rubbed shoulders and swapped notes, the Delltones represented the first decade and generation of Oz Rock with such vigor and charm that they were one of the half dozen acts highlighted (for their "highly polished harmonies") alongside Joe Camilleri and Daryl Braithwaite in a review in The Age. The Delltones represent tenacity and durability and those qualities do not go unnoticed by bands just beginning their career path. Chris Cheney of The Living End was asked the question by Insider magazine: Memories of the first concert you went to? "One of the first live bands I saw was The Delltones and it was just brilliant"
