The Motivaters LP 1980 Australian pub rock post punk Zoot Ferrets M—
Original Australian pressing on Result Records in textured sleeve.
Features Rick Brewer (Zoot, Southern Cross, Ferrets) on drums, Dave Springfield (Buster Brown, Ferrets) guitar & vocals & Rick Petropoulos (Ferrets) Bass & Vocals.
Rick Brewer started in show business at 9 years old with the ROSS DAVIES OLYMPIC GYM. He remembers doing 2 TV spots a week, demonstrating various forms of gymnastics, as well as performing at the 1st Adelaide Festival of Arts. From a young age, he was trained that “even if you break your leg, SMILE and keep going,” a sentiment which has served Brewer well as a performing artist throughout the years.
By age 13, he was playing drums professionally as the musical director of a comedy trampoline act, which he describes as “much like a circus drummer.” His first charting hit came when he was only 15 years old! Brewer played in both The Zoot and The Ferretts, which both had number 1 charting hits in Australia, “Eleanor Rigby” and “Don’t Fall in Love” respectively. He also played in The Motivators, which had the underground hit, “After the Fall”.
Brewer has played a fascinating range of styles over the years and has in more recent times been in demand by dance & techno track producers for his unique percussion abilities and trance sound. He has recently teamed up with Australian songwriter Barry Ferrier and has provided the grooves on Ferrier’s original CD The Big One and a second album entitled The Black Pearls. Brewer has also done many recording sessions with groups like Dr. Bax and Slim Pickens. Brewer also is about to release a psychedelic R&B album, where all the drums and percussion are played without samples or loops. One track on the album took 34 takes in 6 different locations, including recording in the middle of an overgrown field in the country side, which gives the track a very dry clean and present cymbal sound.
Recorded at The Music Farm Studios, Aust. Re-mixed at Albert Studios, Sydney.
