Divinyls - Boys In Town (1981)

Music from Australia and New Zealand in the year 1981:

Divinyls' promo-video for the hit single 'Boys In Town' (October, 1981) taken from the 1982 soundtrack album 'Monkey Grip' and the 1983 debut album 'Desperate'.

Note: This was the debut single released by the Sydney band featuring ex- Air Supply bassist Jeremy Paul, guitarist/songwriter Mark McEntee and singing wildchild Chrissie Amphlette.

Like AC/DC's Angus Young, Amphlette took to wearing a school uniform and with her wild stage antics, made an impression in the live Sydney scene - particularly the seedy Kings Cross.

Band Location: Sydney, NSW, Australia
Track: Boys In Town
Album: Monkey Grip soundtrack
Label: WEA
Chart Position: # 8 (Australia)
Release Date: October, 1981

Suze Demarchi of Baby Animals & Christina Amphlett of Divinyls; oh what a Country I was born in

[nzoz1981]

@shadowzone69 too bad both of them married Americans.

[aaadogman]

you could say shes the Bon scott of Australian rock, but that would be an understatement, that lady put the boots on stuck her chin out and made her self a throm, she is an iconic Australian, and should be held as high as the rest of our rock giants!

[nzoz1981]

@aaadogman I think you mean the female Bon Scott of Australian rock....

I would like to say she is the epitome of female Aussie rockers, but she isn't... she's one of the boys. She's with Angus, Bon, Angry Anderson, Jimmy Barnes, Doc Neeson, Billy Thorpe, Lobby Loydd, etc. To say she is the epitome of female Aussie rockers is to say that Aussie female rockers take it to the level she takes it. The sad truth is, they don't... she's one of a kind in Australia. Not even that Baby Animals chik

@nzoz1981 DO YOU MEAN SUZE DE MARCHI FROM THE BABY ANIMALS

[nzoz1981]

@iloveknitting1 yeah, i ran out of typing space.

Australian music rules. It's a shame that Divinyls, Cold Chisel, Aussie Crawl, etc. weren't more successful outside of Down Under.
