" Pirana "
" A Santana-inflluenced Latin rock outfit who played in Sydney between 1970-75. They had a minor hit with "Here It Comes Again", which spent four weeks in the charts and their second album just made it into the Top 50.
They are probably best remembered as festival stalwarts, but their vinyl is worth investigating. Their debut album was a varied progressive item. The poppier side of their repertoire is represented by "The Time Is Now" and "Find Yourself A New Girl", their more adventurous side is evident on "Elation" and "Stand Back" and most of the remaining material is song-based and falls midway between the two styles. Their two 45s, "Here It Comes Again" and "I Hope You Don't Mind" were tight progressive tunes. The former showcases Tony Hamilton's vocals and acid-soaked lead guitar break. The latter has some great choppy organ (a-la Doors) and incisive sax riff.
Their second eponymous album was stronger and housed in a superbly colourful cover. Typical Aussie prog rock, it featured a good instrumental, "Then Came The Light", "Here It Comes Again", the atmospheric nine-minute "Thinking Of You" with its searing fuzz guitar and flowing Hammond organ and the heavier "Move To The Country" among its finer moment "
