ALMOST 40 years ago Australian Crawl called it quits \u2014 but it\u2019s not the final call for the Australian rock outfit’s music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four decades on, founding member James Reyne is bringing the band’s greatest hits back to life with The Fall of Crawl<\/em> tour.<\/p>\n

The lead vocalist will make his way around Australia with the commemorative tour, visiting locations and venues across the country.<\/p>\n

People heading along can expect to hear the songs they know and love, while celebrating the past.<\/p>\n

Reyne was a member of the Australian band for seven years, releasing four studio albums as a group before going their separate ways in 1986.<\/p>\n

Comprised of Reyne, Simon Binks (lead guitar), Paul Williams (bass), Brad Robinson (rhythm guitar) and David Reyne (drums), Australian Crawl was first formed in 1978.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s debut album The Boys Light Up <\/em>was featured in The 100 Best Australian Albums, 30 years after it was released.<\/p>\n

When first released, the album stayed in the charts for two years, peaked at number four and went platinum four times, cementing it as a favourite among listeners.<\/p>\n

The Australian musician has now been a solo artist for more than 30 years, with his most recent studio album Toon Toon Lullaby <\/em>released in 2020.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career, Reynes has had 19 Top 40 singles, with his songs covered by the likes of Paul Kelly, John Farnham, Mick Thomas and Angie Hart.<\/p>\n

Reyne will perform at the Bellarine Estate on March 8.<\/p>\n
