This band produced alot of big hits.I can recall when i was about 7 and they were making songs like Horror Movie and living In The 70's,and i kept singing them all the time.Their look was called shock rock,as they were dressed kinda funny.But it wasnt their look that sold the music.They had a string of hits and were one of the biggest Aussie bands ever.I remember being saddened by the death of the lead singer Shirley Strachan in a helicopter accident in 2001.The band broke up in 1980.Shirley left in 1978,and went on to do various Tv shows.Red Symons was one of the stars in Hey Hey Its Saturday,he is now a radio personality.They did reform for some singles such as Jukebox In Siberia in 1988 which was a big hit.

I bought this CD on the recommendation of a guy in Australia because I had mentioned Men At Work and Flash & the Pan. It surely has the feel and sound of a late 70s-80s Australian band. It's not Flash & the Pan, but it's okay.

It's worth owning it if for no other reason than I bet that you don't know a single person that has this album, much less have heard of them; unless you're a 40-50 something Australian.
