Mongrels of Passion

ruff'n'raw rock'n'roll with a sting & a heart beat

About Me


Mongrels of Passion are Tim Gaze and Vince Lovegrove.
Both are stalwarts of Australian music and have been pivotal, intimate and pro-active associates of the following musical artists: Tamam Shud, Rose Tattoo, Jimmy Barnes, Ariel, Gyan, Jon Lord, Peter Wells, Valentines, Stevie Wright, Divinyls, Cold Chisel, Bon Scott, AC/DC, Ian Moss, Rick Grossman, Chrissie Amphlett, Mark McEntee, and many more.
Midnight Oil’s Rob Hirst says the following about Mongrels Of Passion: “These new songs from Mongrels of Passion are tough! A touch of the Joe Strummers, methinks. Protest music returns, with a vengeance!”
But the songs are not just political. This is a collection of songs, lyrically hard core, with a unique, quirky sound, winding straight to the heart of the matter; no frills, no bullshit; ruff’n’raw rock’n’roll.

____________________________________________________________ _______________
Steeped in the history of Australian rock music, formative members - internationally renown guitar legend Gaze and Oz rock chamelion Vince Lovegrove - are exponents of Australian music, their collective influences and experiences creating their own sound.
Mongrels Of Passion is a fierce band that spans the gamut of rock music, meshing the passion of protest, and the heart and soul of love songs with lament. And sometimes a sardonic, tongue-in-cheek perverted look at our lives.
Long-time Gaze collaborator, mongrel Rob Grosser, has provided percussion on most songs.
TIM GAZE
Gaze is one of the nation’s most respected guitar players, having played with the likes of Australian music pioneers Tamam Shud, Rose Tattoo, Jon Lord, Jimmy Barnes, Ariel, Gyan and many other pivotal groups and artists.
His guitar playing is legendary, and he has an ongoing independent recording career with various blues projects.
VINCE LOVEGROVE
Lovegrove has come full circle. In the sixties, he shared vocal duties with Bon Scott (AC/DC) in pop group The Valentines before going on to manage the early career of Cold Chisel and other pivotal Australian groups. He managed rock sensations Divinyls and paved the way for them to reach the top of the US charts.
