A few words about myself.. My name is Fredrik Notling. I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I was sick and tired
of finding so few webpages about The Skyhooks, those crazy lads from Australia and one of my all time fave bands, on the net so
I decided to try and put one up myself.. I´ve been a fan since I was about 10 years old but
up until 92 I only had two old lp:s, played to pieces.. I then went to London and found 6
titles on cd and about three years ago in early 96, i managed to find a video
for sale on the internet, and man, what a video.. Since i put up this page i´ve found out that there is
quite a few Hook fans still out there and im always happy to receive comments
from anyone out there who´s interested in the band.. My Skyhooks collection has grown considerably during the last
months thanks to a very dedicated fan who also is a VERY nice guy, a BIG thanks to Dean Haartsen, Victoria, Australia..
So what makes skyhooks stand out amongst all other bands? Quite a few things actually. First of all,
pure great musicianship, a very innovative song writer and lyricist, a flamboyant, flashy, and
over the top stage look and a lead vocalist with a voice like no one else.. The music is
unpredictable, the lyrics always tells an interesting story or a statement that you can relate to.
As for the style of music they gave birth to, it' s impossible to put a label
on it. It varies from ballads to hard driving rock n roll to pop and so on in infinity.. Ok, here we go..
