George McArdle was the Bass Guitarist with The Little River Band, (LRB) one of the most highly acclaimed rock music bands of all time and the first Australian group to make the top ten charts in the United States, achieving gold record status. The band achieved similar success in South America and most European countries with their hit song Reminiscing, translated into Spanish and French. LRB played in every major venue of North America with bands of the caliber of the Beach Boys, The Doobie Brothers and Fleetwood Mac. Audiences of over 80,000 people were paying big money to attend their concerts. George McArdle joined the band in 1976 and within weeks was heading off to the United States in an experimental venture to try and make it big overseas. And make it big they did. The Little River Band went on to become one of the seminal groups of Australian rock history and is the only band of any nationality to have scored a top ten hit in The United States, for six consecutive years, between 1977 and 1982. The Album "Stingray" is George McArdles first studio album in over ten years. Stingray is very well recorded with Ern Rose from LRB days back in the studio as sound and mixing engineer, and is a compilation of songs written and produced by George McArdle over a five-year period.
