Biography

An average mid-'60s British Invasion-styled performer who wrote most of his own material, Tony Barber released five singles and an LP in Australia in the mid-'60s. He found some success in his homeland, particularly with the single "Someday," though not enough to sustain a long career. Barber had previously been a member of the Aztecs, the backing band of Australian singer Billy Thorpe, and favored a slightly spiky blues-rock-leaning British Invasion style, though his vocals were milder than the material. All of his 1960s solo recordings for the Spin label were issued on the 2000 CD Someday...Now! ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
