Five Star Song Parade: The Reels – No. 3

This entry is part 2 of 7 in the series Five Star Song Parade

My first song of the Parade is called No. 3 and is written by a relatively unknown band from Australia called The Reels.

The Reels consisted of:

Dave Mason (vocals), Craig Hooper (guitar, keyboard), Colin “Polly” Newham (keyboard, saxophone, guitar, 1977-81, 1985-92), John Bliss (drums, 1977-82, 1985-86), Paul Abrahams (bass guitar, 1977-92), Karen Ansel (keyboards, 1980-82), Stefan Fidock (drums, 1982-83), Scott Saunders (keyboards, 1982)

They were formed in 1976 and initially disbanded in 1991, but eventually reformed in 2007. They were part of Australia’s New Wave.

No. 3 possesses a great New Wave sound with sustained guitar chords and a strong back beat that moves. The song possesses lots of chants and samples of crowds and people shouting which is complements the music perfectly. “Hey! Hey! Hey!”
