1,660) Russ Kruger — “Keep Me Satisfied”

“Blistering Aussie freakbeat” (happening45, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLrq_K64tQc), “the best of the eight singles Kruger cut with the Atlantics between 1966 and 1968 . . . . [with] the distorted yet powerful sound of the [Atlantics’] classic singles “Come On” [see #1,656] and “It’s a Hard Life”, with an additional, abrasive, fuzz guitar for good measure.” (Alec Palao, liner notes to the CD comp Hot Generation: 1960s Punk from Down Under)

Kimbo tells us of Russ Kruger:

Russ Kruger (Russell Dellbridge) was born in Sydney . . . . He is the younger brother of recording star Johnny Rebb. He started his singing career in 1965 at the age of 17. Some of his single releases were produced by his brother and backed by The Atlantics. He recorded on the Leedon, Sunshine and Ramrods label. All in all, he released eight singles between 1966 – 69. https://historyofaussiemusic.blogspot.com/2013/09/russ-kruger.html?m=1
