[ Frenzy / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 15 October 2021
Christchurch has always had a vibrant local music scene - never more so than during the swinging
60s when sheer talent ran rampant in the city - while a steady revolving door of the city's founding rock musos left to seek their fame throughout Australasia and the rest of the world. The one constant in the Christchurch scene throughout the decades has been Johnny Campbell who has been instrumental in contributing to and documenting the local Christchurch scene via his acclaimed rockhappenz and Johnny Campbell web sites (links below).
During the mid 60's Johnny's band 'The Detours' were the hot ticket in town and held residencies at all of the local teen dance venues. The CD 'Johnny Campbell + The Detours, Overtime' celebrates Johnny's 58 year musical career and features the bands early demo recordings and both sides of their two singles for the local Robbins label alongside other highlights.
