Never has a band rocked a town and a
generation of locals before as "LPG" did in the late 90s!
Formed in the late 90s by
Leigh
Achterbosch ("L"), Paul
Goossens ("P"), and Grant
Meredith ("G"), LPG entertained the masses with their
unique blend of rock, blues, folk and soft metal!

Their music was tight and well composed. This was due to their personal
approach to their instruments. Leigh had complete mastery of his mandolin
and guitar, Paul had his finely honed guitar and drum skills, and Grant
swung his axe (bass guitar) with precision into the forest of
soul. They all shared in some inspiring vocals.

The songs that they sung were full of hope
and inspiration for the generation of youth who were fed up with the
current state of the world at the time.
Ballarat laughed and cried at hearing such legendary ballads as
Happy Town,
Love Somebody,
Bear With No Hair
and
I Still Call Humffray St
Home.

Live on the
Couch
|
Two
of their finest shows were played in Ballarat, the first was
'On the Couch with LPG' as you can see in various pictures. It
was a very experimental time for them, when they churned out
classic after classic. The other was at the Battle of the
Bands, where they took out a victory in much the style 'Wyld
Stallions' did in 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey'.
