About

heyheymymy.com.au is a contemporary on-line destination for Australian audiences interested in local and international music and the current activities of musical artists of the 70’s, 80’s and 90s.

Encompassing the music that is loosely known as ‘classic rock’, and musical acts regarded as ‘heritage artists’ the only real criteria for inclusion is that the artists have a body of work that is substantial, enduring and high quality. It’s probably better defined by what is not likely to be found on this website : bad cheesy pop, lightweight dance music, forgettable one hit wonders, completely contrived chart toppers and other music that’s just plain bad.

Which still leaves a lot of great music to cover.

heyheymymy.com,au is a project of Andrew Watt, who has recently recovered from working in the music industry for about 20 years and re-discovered his enthusiasm for the music he was immersed throughout his teens, twenties and thirties.

In that time Andrew was a music industry lawyer representing clients such as Mental As Anything, Divinyls, Men At Work, a music publisher with a writers roster including the Rolling Stones and James Reyne, a venue operator who hosted acts such as Bon Jovi, Living Colour, Steve Earle and Billy Thorpe, an artist and tour manager representing artists in Australia and America and, for nine years the publisher of InPress magazine, a weekly Melbourne street press publication where he interviewed just about every significant artist of the era including REM, Robbie Robertson, Prince, Robert Plant & Jimmy Page, Jon Bon Jovi, Johnny Thunders, Henry Rollins, Midnight Oil, Warren Zevon, Paul Kelly, Stevie Nicks, INXS, David Lee Roth, John Lydon, Guns N’ Roses and literally hundreds of others, some famous and many obscure but equally as interesting.

heyheymymy.com.au aims to be a one stop on-line destination where visitors can find current news about their favorite artists, see touring and ticket information, keep up to date with new releases on CD and DVD and even discover some ‘new music’ that sounds like ‘old music’!

heyheymymy.com.au welcomes and encourages comment and debate about any item in these pages (and we’ve provided an easy method for you to do that) although we do draw the line and personal abuse, defamatory remarks and anything that could be deemed racist, sexist or intolerant. We don’t expect ageist remarks to be too much of a problem – just try to be nice to the young bands even if they suck.
