Chemistry Live Folens

In the summer of 1981, Ronald Reagan was sworn in as the US President, Dreamworld opened on the Gold Coast, and Trevor Chappell bowled his infamous underarm delivery against New Zealand.

In the lead up to the release of ‘Chemistry’, the summer of 1981 saw Mondo Rock play live at Victoria’s Pier Hotel. Now nearly four decades later, the band have made the recording of that show available as an album: ‘Summer Of ’81 (Mondo Rock Live At The Pier)’. It’s the band’s first ever live album release, and it captures Mondo Rock at the peak of their powers. The Pier Hotel show was one of the first Mondo Rock gigs for drummer John James Hackett, who sadly passed away last year, and the release of ‘Summer Of ’81 is a tribute’ to our dear friend JJ.

Everyone knows that we need oxygen to breathe and live, but oxygen has many other important roles in our lives. Oxygen powers the fires that run factories and cars . . . oxygen is part of giving plants life and energy . . .oxygen sends rockets to the stars where oxygen was born. Inside, become an oxygen expert even as you use oxygen with each breath you take. Some students might think chemistry is something only scientists care about. But chemistry is literally a part of all of our lives every day.
