Awesome band. The public didn't give them the attention they deserved. Rik Swinn should have been as big as Iva Davies with his excellent song writing and voice. Not to mention their guitarist, Skeet who was soooo boss. Especially in the bands final years with his slicked back hair and dark sunglasses. This band had the potential to be so much.SHAME : (
@mignonhenne they were so cute when they sang Inspiration live, instead of singing 'Inspiration, ghosts in my head', they would sing 'Inspiration, goats in my head' and then they would laugh their heads off!
For me - their recordings didn't do them justice and like many great acts of that time they deserved greater success - but that's the music biz guys.
I loved their use of the Oberheim OB-8 synth, DSX sequencer (I believe) and some fab early E-drums (make/model?). There was incredible stuff going on in the Australian music scene then.
They were the very first band I ever saw live (supporting Nik Kershaw on his Australian tour...!) and I continued to see them over the next few years. Great band and music, great memories of great times...
Still have a signed copy of this album...awesome!

Awesome live performances and sound
I enjoyed seeing them many many times.
