Dads on the Air

With special guest: Stuart Coupe… in conversation with Bill Kable We have always heard about the sex and drugs of the rock’n’roll lifestyle but few of us get any access to this hidden part of the music industry. Until now Stuart Coupe has lived in the music world for over forty years and by getting the roadies, these unsung heroes, to open up we can find out both the good and the bad sides of this life on the road. Stuart tells us one of his motivations in doing the research and writing his latest book Roadies: The Secret History of Australian Rock’n’Roll was to preserve the stories from the early days because the roadies have had some casualties and he does not want the stories to disappear with the last of the original roadies. Not only does the lifestyle take a toll on the roadies’ physical health but the toll on family life is intense. The roadies will often be away from home for 10 to 11 months of the year because the show has to go on. Podcast (mp3)

Dads on the Air

With special guest: Stuart Coupe… in conversation with Bill Kable Paul Kelly is woven into the fabric of Australia. But it was not always so, as our guest today Stuart Coupe tells us. After first picking up a guitar at the age of 18 and writing his first song at 20, it did take a while and a number of rejections before Paul Kelly was accepted as a performer. In his book called Paul Kelly: the man, the music and the life in between, Stuart shows that he knows his subject well; so well that he can add this book to the canon on Paul Kelly’s life which already includes Paul Kelly’s lengthy autobiography. It is exciting to delve into the good and the bad parts of Paul Kelly’s life. From a big and loving secure family, who were motivated on the big issues of the day, Paul has emerged on the national scene. He is our storyteller but he could also have been one of our favourite sportsmen if things had turned out differently. Paul showed a lot of ability in cricket, Australian Rules football and also tennis. All that Australian sporting life as well as a taste of University and hard manual labour has informed what he can tell us about ourselves. Podcast (mp3)

Meet Tana Douglas. Throughout the music industry, Tana has been acknowledged as Rock’N’Roll’s first female roadie. Her journey started in 1973 in Australia and within a year she was working for AC/DC. She then moved to lighting, working for a Major Australian Promoter and completed in quick succession several tours with International acts such as Santana, Suzi Quatro, Neil Diamond, David Essex, and Leo Sayer, and Status Quo all before she turned 18. In this episode, Tana joins me for a discussion about her career, the evolution of the music industry, and some of the lessons she’s learned along the way. During our conversation, Tana emphasizes the notion of taking ownership of your own learning. We discussed taking control of your own destiny and doing things before you feel ready. As that is how you will grow rapidly – in your career or in your life. Tana has so much life experience and many stories to share. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Here’s some more background information about Tana: After getting her father to sign her passport so she could travel Internationally she ventured to London to start 4 years with Status Quo running their lighting rig. She then brought that rig to TASCO a major Production company in London that until that time had only supplied sound for tours. A relationship developed there that would last several years and include working for such artists as Status Quo, The WHO, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, The Police, Elton John, Iggy Pop, and Johnny Halliday the French megastar. Her relationship continued with TASCO enabling her to transfer to the USA after they opened a Los Angeles division. After becoming a resident of the USA, she broadened her working relationships to also include both Delicate Productions and Light & Sound Designs. The tours that followed were Elton John, INXS, Men at Work, before being once again called back to Europe to manage the largest lighting rig ever built for a 7-month residency for her old friend Johnny Halliday, at Le Zenith in Paris, for Light & Sound Design (LSD).  After successfully completing that task it was time for a change. Los Angeles had offered Tana new passions and she gradually left lighting, stage/production to focus her skills on logistics which meant if a tour had to be somewhere, she was the person to make sure it happened - for everyone including Lenny Kravitz, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Luther Vandross, Ice-T, and Ice Cube to name a few. Tana’s career spanned 30+ years and has seen her work alongside some of rock’s biggest names and personalities. As the music industry grew to become a worldwide cultural phenomenon, she was there, in the thick of it, a girl.  Tana and her unique position in the music industry have been included in several other people’s books – most recently a chapter in Stuart Coupe’s book, Roadies, which confirmed her as the first female roadie. But now it’s time for Tana to tell her story, in her own words. Her Memoir is being published through HarperCollins Australia and tells of the joys and struggles faced as a girl out on the road on her own in the wild and woolly days that created this industry of music. It is due to be released in Spring 2021.   Highlights: What music means to Rock’N’Roll’s first female roadie. (5:04)  Janis Joplin as a hero and early inspiration. (6:20)  Tana’s entrance into the world of Rock’N’Roll as a roadie, and how she went on seven international tours back to back by the age of 17. (9:43)  What’s a roadie, anyway? (11:56) On being the only woman roadie in the early 70s and 80s. (12:30) Some of the things Tana did to fit in that was, “wild and woolly.” (14:53) Hear about Tana’s first driving experience! (15:36) Her fondest band memory from working with AC/DC, Malcolm Young, and Angus Young specifically. (19:51) What it was like working with Iggy Pop and how Tana described him as caring and nice, a contrast in his character on stage. (22:15) The on-stage characters that can’t turn it off, Keith Moon from The Who. (24:00) The impact of the pandemic on the music industry and Tana’s experience watching the evolution of the industry. (33:33) Tana describes the tight bonds between roadies and the artists on tour. (36:05) Comparing corporate gigs vs. roadie gigs. (40:43) The technology behind music production, plus the introduction of AR/VR and how it can be used when a musician can’t tour creating a full-immersion experience for concert-goers. (41:46) Her idea of using AR/VR to create a one-of-a-kind New Year’s Eve concert.

Dads on the Air

With special guest: Stuart Coupe… in conversation with Bill Kable We have always heard about the sex and drugs of the rock’n’roll lifestyle but few of us get any access to this hidden part of the music industry. Until now Stuart Coupe has lived in the music world for over forty years and by getting the roadies, these unsung heroes, to open up we can find out both the good and the bad sides of this life on the road. Stuart tells us one of his motivations in doing the research and writing his latest book Roadies: The Secret History of Australian Rock’n’Roll was to preserve the stories from the early days because the roadies have had some casualties and he does not want the stories to disappear with the last of the original roadies. Not only does the lifestyle take a toll on the roadies’ physical health but the toll on family life is intense. The roadies will often be away from home for 10 to 11 months of the year because the show has to go on.Listen Now (mp3)

After successfully completing that task it was time for a change. Los Angeles had offered Tana new passions and she gradually left lighting and stage/production to focus her skills on logistics for everyone including Lenny Kravitz, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Luther Vandross, Ice-T and Ice Cube to name a few. As the music industry grew to become a worldwide cultural phenomenon, Tana was there, in the thick of it, a girl. Tana and her unique position in the music industry have been included in several other people’s books – most recently a chapter in Stuart Coupe’s book, Roadies, which confirmed her as the first female roadie. But now it’s time for Tana to tell her story, in her own words. Her Memoir, LOUD, is being published through HarperCollins Australia and tells of the joys and struggles faced as a girl out on the road on her own in the wild and wooley days that created this industry of music. It is due to be released in April 2020. Tana currently resides in Los Angeles, California. Today’s episode is sponsored by Soundgirls.org & ShowPro Beard Co.

Today Joey speaks to Stuart Coupe. When Stuart moved from the northern Tasmanian town of Launceston to Adelaide in the mid-70s he was a representative squash player, with a passion for music, and an unlikely taste for counter culture. It was not long before he fell into the world of music – his own zine roadrunner was a quiet step into a career that would see him come face to face with the likes of Bob Dylan, and Mick Jagger, manage Paul Kelly and the Hoodoo Gurus, and promote acts as varied Chris Whitley, Lucinda Williams, and Harry Dean Stanton. In more recent times he has taken up radio. On Tuesday he hosts Tune Up - a show dedicated to covers - due to that and the many other shows he has hosted over the years he is often referred as the god father of FBi radio.
