A Perth band that made guitar hooks sound easy for decades.
For the uninitiated, '1000 Miles Away' and 'Come Anytime' are the place to start. They capture that durable, no-fuss rock sound they built a career on.
They wrote songs that felt like they'd always existed, especially '1000 Miles Away' from 'Electric Blue Motel.' That track became their signature, a simple, driving rock tune about distance that somehow feels both specific and universal. Their catalog is full of that kind of direct, unpretentious energy.
They formed in Perth in 1981 and released their first album, 'Stoneage Romeos,' in 1984. The late '80s brought 'Blow Your Cool!' and 'Electric Blue Motel,' which contained their most recognizable song. They kept recording straightforward guitar rock through the '90s with albums like 'Magnum Opus' and 'Kinky.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
