Klondike's North Forty are an erstwhile trio (or is it a quartet?), led by "Rock God" and Australian Music Hall of Famer Chris "Klondike" Masuak, hotwired by an itinerant and miscreant mob of extremely capable characters and joined variously by Brothers Matt Sulman, Scott Morgan and John Rooney and Sister Angie Pepper.Last Century and after nearly two decades of consistent touring (Radio Birdman, The Hitmen, The New Christs, The Screaming Tribesmen, and Hitmen DTK) Chris "Klondike" Masuak was sick in his heart from the absurdity of "it all". He bought a sweet little Vibrolux that he could carry in one hand while carrying nearly any old guitar in the other (i.e. Fender/Robin), formed the Juke Savages, and released two inspired CD's on the Phantom label.
Critically acclaimed, but "too rocky" for the blues purists and "too bluesy" for the degenerating Australian rock circuit, that trio ran aground in the sea of pretentious and precious posturing that characterised the scene.
Klondike settled into life as a Naturopath, lecturer, and wage-slave, tempered by the joys of being "Dad".
With the "reformation" of Radio Birdman, music reasserted its influence and the songs began to flow. There followed a period of experimentation and development leading to a fortuitous coming together of old friends and the formation of "Klondike's North Forty".
Still "too rocky" for some and "too bluesy" for others, KN40 is even more the invigorating musical marriage of friends and kindred spirits.
Oh yeah...and they turned the volume up alarmingly.
