jenny morris had a couple more hits by herself tho

[nzoz1983]

@PitFighter2007 more than a couple... her solo career over shadowed her QED past.

[Morcaiden]

This is the first time I've clapped eyes on this video and I love it already - what great new wave sound! Wish I'd been aware of the group at the time :-)

[nzoz1983]

@Morcaiden Australia was peaking with talent during the 70's and 80's. You might have guessed if you think up as many Aussie bands possible (Men At Work, Icehouse, INXS, Divinyls, AC/DC, The Church, Air Supply, Little River Band, Midnight Oil, and so on). QED were just a one hit wonder. The singer moved on to far richer solo success. Unfortunately, the bulk of Australian music simply didn't make it overseas. This is just one out of many goods from this period that's unknown outside oz.

[Morcaiden]

@nzoz1983 - Right after I watched this, I went on to view the rest of Jenny Morris's work. Impressive. It's a pity that QED was a just a one-hit wonder, as you say. The makings of a great new wave act were certainly there for all to see, even 20-odd years later...but just watching "Everywhere I Go" sent me back to that time and place in the early '80s when music lived -- thanks for your reply!

[nzoz1983]

@Morcaiden Yep, the song and video carries the formula of its time. QED had another moderate hit called 'This One', which could have been a bigger hit than it was. The guitarist of QED was Rex Goh, who previously played in Air Supply (he did the solo's on their big hits). There's more New Wave goodies on this and my other nzoz channels.

My God I just realised Jenny Morris was the singer of QED. Only took me 28 years.

boy there was some mad sounds and voices in the 80's, so hard to believe these great songs were once so common, unforgettable music, not like the shit we have now, here today and gone tomorrow, this music would stop you whatever you were doing and make you sing

[TigerNicky73]

I used to blast this song!! Love youtube!!

[KwautLizard]

@nzoz1983 the mainstream commercial music was impressive but the more obscure underground circuit bands were amazing: Not Drowning Waving, Big Pig, Painters & Dockers, The Swamp Jockey, The Dots, The Go-Betweens, Nick Cave, Hunters & Collectors, Hoodoo Gurus, ... and many more. Impressive line-up.

[Farmoils]

Haven't heard this for many many years....Great to see and HEAR. Thanks NZOZ!!
