"Today we are hit hard by the loss of Renee Geyer. Cold Chisel and Renee spent a lot of time together, on and off the stage. Renee was one of the best female vocalists in the world. She was always a good friend to us."
Vale Renee.
39 years ago today, the East album was released and nothing was ever the same for Cold Chisel.
It climbed to #2 on the charts and stayed on the charts for more than 60 weeks... Features โCheap Wineโ, โMy Babyโ, โRising Sunโ, โStanding On The Outsideโ, โStar Hotel" and more!
Thank you, Sydney. Thank you, Australia. This tour was truly something special. It breathed new fire into Cold Chisel in a way we never expected. We loved every minute of every show and all 225,000 who witnessed our tour lifted us to new heights. Thank you. See you soon in NZ!
Cold Chiselโs new definitive compilation, 50 Years - The Best Of, has debuted at number 1 on the @ARIA_Official Album Chart, making it the band's sixth chart topper together.
Cold Chisel returned last night to one of their earliest haunts - the great city of Armidale, as they officially kicked off The Big Five-0 tour in menacing form!ย Thanks everyone - that was one for the ages!
Brilliant show review from last night!

Melbourne - that was truly fucking insane! Up there with the biggest response of this whole Big Five-0 shebang! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Three more shows - but weโll never forget tonight!
We've been working closely with the NSW Rural Fire Service Association to design this fantastic T-shirt that will be on-sale at all of the remaining Cold Chisel shows. Everyone is giving up all fees and royalties and all proceeds are going to the @NSWRFS. Get one at the shows!
50 years ago, five young musicians from Adelaide formed a band called Cold Chisel. They were broke, hungry & struggled to stay together, let alone make a name for themselves. However, their ambition would see them change the face of Aus music forever.

We are really excited by Blood Moon hitting # 1 on the @ARIA_official chart โ an incredible 21 years after our last one.
We never take anything for granted, so huge thanks to our loyal army of fans who have helped make this happen.
