Friends, prog fans and countrymen, lend me your ears for an audience with AUDIENCE, one of the finest Jazz-Rock bands ever to emerge from this green and pleasant land of England. AUDIENCE are a band who deserve to be heard by a wider audience. Tell all of your friends about them and tell your FRIEND'S FRIEND'S FRIEND too. If you've ever wanted to admire the view from THE HOUSE ON THE HILL, then look no further than the rousing and uplifting music of AUDIENCE. This early 1970's band are still ALIVE & KICKIN' & SCREAMIN' & SHOUTIN' well into the 21st century with their marvellous UNCHAINED melodies. AUDIENCE are a much-under-appreciated band who deserve to be legends in their lifetime, unlike some of today's modern bands, who only deserve to be legends in their own LUNCH-time. Their four rare studio albums are worthy of being passed down through the generations to your children, and to your children's children's children too, and if you don't already have a son or daughter, then now might be as good a time as any to take your wife upstairs and make one. Wink

Haa! Good one, and I hope this thread helps win Audience some more admirers, and that they'll tell their friends and their Friend's Friend's Friend all about them and shout it from the rooftop of The House on the Hill. The videos for the second Audience album are on their way, just as soon as I've had my Lunch.

Yes, those two particular albums are definitely the best audience to my ears. Smile

I also like the first one.....Lunch was a bit stale and unappetizing.  Wink
I also have the vinyl You Can't beat Them which is a fair compilation...deserves more than 3 stars imho.
I bought House On The Hill in 1972 (came out in 71) at college when I lived alone in a studio apt, and played it quite a bit. I started buying quite a bit of unusual prog and prog related bands in that year.

I've heard some songs on youtube and maybe on online radio. I remember them sounding quite a bit like VDGG(mainly because of the sax).

Yes, the first album had a good Audience and I've heard they serve a good Lunch at The House on the Hill, after my Friend's Friend's Friend told me about it. Smile

I like Audience FAR more than VDGG. Van der Graaf Generator have never had much of a spark for me. Smile

OK, I shouldn't be too cruel with their debut album... it's OK, but pales in comparison with their next two.

And yes, I still have the If You Can't compilation vinyl as wellClap (wish I still had FFF & HotH, though)

BTW, I always thought it was Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine) that was carried out by the butler in the House on the Hill back cover. LOL

It's a combination of Werth's vocals and Gemmel's sax, IMHO

FTM, when Jaxon got the boot from VDGG in 2007, many expected the remaining trio to fetck Keith Gemmel

Still great, but I don't think I'm a huge fan.The problem is that there are just too many great bands out there to get into them all. I reckon I discovered that on my "bands that could have been successful but weren't" thread...

Audience were one of the first bands I discovered when I first went online in 2010 and they're still the highest House on the Hill for me amongst British Jazz-Rock bands. Smile

There was a rumour that after Jim Morrison died, the rest of the Doors were keen to have Howard Werth as a replacement! Don't know if its true or if he did indeed have a 'try out' for them!! Blimey, can you imagine!!?

I love Audience too.. I don't think Werth's Voice is everyones cup of tea but I really like it and the fact that he only ever played an amplified nylon string guitar and never succumbed to steel strings or electric guitars.. well not in Audience, anyway..

I quite dig the Howard Werth and the Moonbeams lp 'King brilliant'!
