The Rich and Famous is the brainchild creation of Jeff and Cliff Hoad, two brothers most people would be familiar with from the rock band Kings Of The Sun. The âKingsâ still have a large following today, a fan base thatâs been loyal since the band split in the early nineties. If you would like to know more about the Kings Of The Sun and the Hoad boys visit this website http://www.geocities.com/thingaboutrocknroll/ for a good independent bio on the band Kings Of The Sun.

After touring the U.S and most the world for some six years and releasing three albums and numerous chart topping singles with the Kings Of The Sun, touring with such heavy weights as KISS through out Europe and other major acts through out United States, Jeff and Cliff both took a break from the music business and perused their individual interests.

They both had become dishearten with the music scene and the direction it had taken particularly during the nineties. Although it had been a number of years since releasing an album the brothers still had that music vibrating through their veins like all good musicians have and the taste of a good rock tune is never far away. Jeff and Cliff had not stopped writing and jamming together and over time they had accumulated a large catalogue of songs just waiting for the right time. Come 2003 and rock was back! And so was the Hoad brothers along with their good friend artist/musician Dean Turner, the rock band The Rich and Famous was born.

After listening to The Rich and Famous first two albums you quickly appreciate how different each these album are, the first, a self titled album is full of what Jeff calls âexperimental songsâ, songs that moved him completely away from the raw hard rock sound normally associated with Kings Of The Sun. The album shows up Jeff and Cliffâs natural song writing abilities and their diverse musical talents. The Rich and Famous is proof that the Hoad boys can be cool and slick as well as hard rockinâ.

Their 2nd release âLike A Superstarâ is testimony to which direction the brothers want to take the band, having been influenced by great Aussie rock bands like AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and often being compared to Aerosmith and Ted Nugent, the Hoad boys with The Rich and Famous create an original raw rock sound with this album just bursting at the seams with good solid hard rock tunes.

The latest album 'Stand Back' continues on where the second album left off, with that hard rock edge the band love to play. Stand Back is out now.

The Rich and Famous once again show that rock never dies it just keeps getting better.
