The heritage of LIVING LOUD includes some of the greatest rock bands of all-time with founding members Jimmy Barnes, Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, Steve Morse and Don Airey a veritable rock-royalty with lineage to Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Blizzard of Ozz, Ozzy Osbourne, Cold Chisel, Rainbow and Black Sabbath.

The planet's newest supergroup maybe... but in reality the LIVING LOUD story goes back over a decade. "It started 10 or 12 years ago", Bob Daisley explains. "Lee Kerslake and I talked about redoing some of the Ozzy songs with guests on them and we eventually hooked up with Jimmy through a mutual friend, Drew Thompson, who also spoke to Lee Kerslake and suggested Steve Morse as the guitar player. We had a very short window from July 5 to July 21 last year, so we all got together and rearranged the Blizzard of Ozz songs plus wrote another five new ones."

Jimmy Barnes was familiar with all of the members of LIVING LOUD but had known Deep Purple's Steve Morse the longest. "I'd worked with Steve Morse before", Jimmy says. "The last time those guys were out I found out they were huge fans of mine and I was a huge fan of Deep Purple. I knew of Bob, I remember when he was with Rainbow. As a young head-banger I was a Uriah Heep fan. That's also where I knew of Lee".

The band's studio debut was issued in the UK in September 2004 and in the rest of Europe early in 2005. For the Australian media launch of LIVING LOUD, the five musicians came together for their live debut at the Fox Studios, in Sydney, taking the opportunity of Steve Morse and Don Airey being there for some Deep Purple shows. The show was filmed and recorded, and now the concert is available on CD for the first time via T2 Records.
