Biography
Rob Bailey played bass guitar in Flake (1973),[1] Acid Road, Rudy and the Aardvarks, and Natural Gas.[2][3] The latter group supported the Rolling Stones Australian tour in 1972–73.
From April 1974 until January 1975 Bailey was a regular member of Australian hard rock group, AC/DC's rhythm section.[2] He appeared in early video footage of AC/DC, the Last Picture Show Theatre video of "Can I Sit Next To You Girl". In August AC/DC, with Bailey, supported Lou Reed on his Rock'n'Roll Animal tour of Australia.[2] In November Bailey was a band member during the recording of their debut album High Voltage (released in February 1975), though the credit for bass guitar on the album was given to George Young.[4] After Bailey's departure, AC/DC did not have a regular bass guitarist until Mark Evans in March 1975; during that time the position was filled variously by Larry Van Kriedt, Malcolm Young, his older brother George Young, and occasionally by Paul Matters.[5]
Bailey has performed with Wayne Green and Brett Keyser (ex-Innocent Bystanders) as Company of Men in Western Australia, supported by The Dingoes. Bailey's daughter Laura, born 1991, also plays bass guitar.
