Biography

Since the early 90’s the Wild Colonials have been charming music critics and audiences alike with their eclectic rock sound which incorporates everything from the low blow of a Didgeridoo to the sweet rub of a violin. To experience the music of Wild Colonials is to take a step into a realm of rock where most dare not go, yet they pull it off brilliantly.

Their story began in early 1992 at an Irish… Read more in Amazon's Wild Colonials Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly Perfect CD, March 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: This Can't Be Life (Audio CD)

Both Wild Colonials CDs would have to be in my Desert Island Discs, but if I could pick only one it would be this one. Angela has an amazing, smokey haunting voice--strong,sad,soulful--all at the same time, without being depressing. Plus the band is great,unusual instruments,(didgeridoo, penny whistle) and unbelievable lyrics. I considered this the soundtrack for a tough, independent, brokenhearted woman, songs like "If" and "Wake Up Sad" have a distinctly feminine perspective--however, I play this CD a lot at work and all of the guys I work with love it. Do yourself a favor and buy both the CDs NOW! they have a new one I haven't heard yet, but its supposed to be good too. And, if you can, go see them live! I saw 2 shows a few years ago in a really small club in Chicago, and not only was the band amazing, but they chatted with us between shows and actually put us on the guest list. (plus Shark's really cute!)

Bought this on a whim because I heard their songs in the movie: Dead Man's Curve. It's a fantastic disk. Well worth the risk. I highly recommend this CD!
