The Fast Five - Diesel

While still in his teens, American born guitarist and singer, Mark Lizotte, was snatched from his bar band in Perth, and launched into the Australian charts as the leader of Johnny Diesel and the Injectors. Now, some 30 years later, Diesel is still rocking Saturday nights around the nation. 

The 90s heartthrob performs in D-town this month for an intimate show off the back of his greatest hits album, released last year.

What’s the first album you ever bought?
The first album I ever bought was Smash Hits by Jimi Hendrix on cassette. It was a second-hand purchase and I wore it out. There wasn’t a lot of Jimi on the radio at that point, so to me, it was like making a discovery. Unfortunately it went into the abyss.

If you could see any artist or band – living or dead – this weekend, who would it be?
Neil Young, as I still haven’t seen a show – with Crazy Horse would be a bonus! I’d try and take my family, which wouldn’t be hard as they all “get it”.
