One music magazine has called the Oils’ stage show "Riveting ... Midnight Oil pumped out enough energy to light several city streets. The band's live sound is fero cious." Supporting its latest release, Diesel and Dust. Midnight Oil will perform in Portland at Ar lene Schnitzer Concert Hall on Nov. 1. Led by the frenzied vo cal delivery of Pel t Garrett, the Oils’ lineup includes drummer Rob Hirst, guitarist-keyboardist Jim Moginie. guitarist Martin Rotsey find bassist Fetor Gif ford. Formed as a surfer band in 1977. the Oils have ovolved as Australia's most outspoken proponents of social reform, raising cash and consciousness for environmental and social is sues. And while other bands have compromised musically and politically to satisfy record companies and appeal to a top 40 audience. Midnight Oil has remained true to its policy of playing independent music and maintaining radical ideals. Diesel and Dust is an exam ple of Midnight Oil's intensity and integrity. The album is dedicated to the Australian ab origines’ fight for native land rights. Songs like "Beds Are Burning" and “The Dead Heart" are direct appeals by Midnight Oil to change social conditions in Australia. And in strife-torn South Africa, where Diesel and Dust went number one, Midnight Oil tiffirmed its conviction to human rights when it donated all revenues from record sales there to fund anti-apartheid activities. While Midnight Oil does not hide from issues facing society today, lead singer Peter Garrett (a law-school graduate who narrowly lost a run for the Aus tralian Senate on the Nuclear Disarmament ticket in 1(184) knows that Midnight Oil's poli tical views could be interpreted as a recent trend of chic activ ism. "You name it, we've dipped in,” he says in a recent magazine article. "But we’re not the only people doing it. The simple act of participation tends to build a momentum of its own and bring in people ... it's about helping when we're asked."
