Half a century of Aussie rockers Cold Chisel

From Summer Times, 11:30 am on 17 January 2025

Cold Chisel have been touring across the Tasman to mark the big fiftieth, teaming up with another iconic Aussie band Icehouse and Amercian rockers Everclear. 

A successful solo career and considered one of the best guitarists to come out of Australia, Ian Moss is a driving force behind the band's huge success and numerous hits.

He caught up with Anna Thomas to talk five decades of rock, and whether there is a unique music style that Kiwis and Aussies have developed down under.
