AXIOM WAS A LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE ON THE AUSTRALIAN MUSIC SCENE LONG BEFORE PUB ROCK WAS INVENTED

Made up of the `frontline' remnants of two australian bands
which never quite made it, AXIOM was the first supergroup
as such which was ever formed in Australia. The eventual
lead vocalist of THE LITTLE RIVER BAND Glenn Shorrock
was the star leftover from the group The Twilights and
Brian Cadd, who would go on to forge a successful so-
lo career after AXIOM's demise, was the star left-
over from the other band called THE GROOP. The
two were joined by Don Mudie, Chris Stockley,
Don Lebler and for a while Doug lavery. Not
a group of genius' or anything, but for the
brief time they were an active band in the
latter part of '69 and early 1970`s AXIOM
was the forerunner in terms of harmony
rock which bands such as Crosby Stills &
Nash and The Eagles were making pop-
ular around the same timeframe in the
US. A LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE to this
day remains AXIOM's most popular &
and recognisable anthem, incredibly
inspirational, simple and basic, no
frills at all, and very much a song
that can be admired by rock fans,
lovers of country music and pop
as well. This is a live recording
of this iconic tune, apparently
judging by some of comments
to the clip this is a lot better
version than the original stu-
dio one. You tell me folks.
