Could an Angels reunion be in the air? Fans of the classic Aussie rock group may have reason to get excited after Doc Neeson spoke of the possibility on Sydney radio yesterday.

“It’s in the wind. It’s the first time it’s been mentioned out loud,” the Angels frontman told Vega 91.5’s Mark Gable.

“We’ve been talking about doing some gigs together … we’ve had so many requests.”

Many thought The Angels would never play together again after their bitter split in the late 90s. Doc went on to form Doc Neeson’s Angels while John and Rick Brewster, Chris Bailey, and Graham Bidstrup worked on side projects including The Original Angels Band and The Brewster Brothers.

While they were together, The Angels created some of Australia’s best-loved rock anthems including “No Secrets,” “Take a Long Line” and “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again.”

It’d be brilliant to see them back together again, so let’s hope the lads do more than just talk about it!

Doc is a legend, oz rock royalty. Far and away the best performance and audience response at the Countdown concert this year - should have had top billing and played for much longer as it was the highlight of the night. Seeing The Angels live was always a fucking rage of sweat soaked fans dancing and singing in joyous abandon. Would absolutely love to see a full length concert again. Vive le Marseille!

I have to wonder whether the Countdown slot and the Selinas gig were something of a warm-up Philip :-)
