Peabody frontman Bruno Brayovic brings Buddy Glass to Albury and Beechworth

The frontman of Sydney rock outfit Peabody will bring his one-man show, Buddy Glass, to Albury and Beechworth next month.

"I've played in Albury countless times with Peabody," he said.

"But this time I'm going on a road trip of my own with the Buddy Glass tour."

A staple of the Australian indie scene for more than 25 years, Brayovic released his debut solo album Buddy Glass in 2014 under homegrown label China Pig Records.

He followed up with his second solo work Wow & Flutter in September.

Recorded on a TASCAM 4-track cassette recorder in the back room of his Sydney house, the eight-track album is an alluring creation, filled with varying styles and shifting genres.

Brayovic said while the global pandemic halted touring, he worked on finishing his solo work.

"I wrote it in France over the course of a year and played heaps of shows over there, here in Australia and even one of the last shows at legendary New York venue, Cake Shop, before it closed down," Brayovic said.

"Then I had my album mixed and mastered here last year."

Born in Chile in 1976 during a military-imposed curfew, Brayovic migrated to Sydney with his family in January 1983.

He lived in the same Villawood Migrant Hostel where the Young and Vanda families lived years earlier before forming The Easybeats and AC/DC.

"When I arrived the people were mostly from South America and Vietnam," he said.

"I remember a lot about it because it was quite a shock; my mother spoke English which she'd learnt in Chile but my father and me didn't know any."

Growing up in western Sydney, Brayovic said his parents encouraged his appreciation of music.

"My parents weren't musical other than having musical appreciation; they listened to their music very loudly," Brayovic said.

"My parents paid attention to what I was listening to. They gave me a guitar at the beginning of Year 9; little did they know it would be the basis for a massive part of my life."

Brayovic started Peabody with his schoolmate, Ben.

They have made five albums over 26 years, played Big Day Out and toured at home and abroad.
