THE POOR

NEWS UPDATE!: THE POOR had since disbanded, and the "Simple Livin'" CD was never actually released, although it was completed.

Singer/Guitarist SKENIE is now involved in his new band LUMP, and they have their first EP("Here I Am") due out very soon. More info on LUMP and their happenings can be found on their website: LUMP

********************************************************************

Australian Metal band THE POOR released their worldwide debut album WHO CARES in 1994. This band easily takes "NEW BAND OF THE DECADE"- and I'm not saying that just because their drummer is Angus and Malcolm Youngs nephew-James Young, but because these guys ROCK harder than any band that has come out in the past 10 years!

Originally known as "THE POORBOYS", the band had to eventually change their name due to another act possessing the same name- and chose THE POOR. The band had pretty good success in Australia with their first 2 EP's, and then released their debut album worldwide WHO CARES. They toured the U.S. in 1994 opening for The Scorpions, and toured the U.S. again in 1996 opening for AC/DC on part of the eastern leg of AC/DC's tour.

After this, the band disappeared into oblivion, unfortunatley- as far as I Know, the record label dropped them, so they returned to Australia.

FINALLY- News on THE POOR. Seems they have signed with a new record label, and have a new album in the works, which should be out shortly, titled SIMPLE LIVIN'!
