Local Brisbane act around mid 80's. They played in Brisbane and Gympie. One of them was a teacher in Gympie! ( small town north of Brisbane)

The line up changed over the years but remained at this line up for approx 2-3 years.

Chris Mckenzie (vocals), Dave Curran (guitar), Greg Sharp (bass), Tom McKenzie (sax), Neil Roche-Kelly (keyboards), Tom Wilson (guitar) and "Chook" (drums).

Broke up Aug/ Sept 1988, due to the lack of venues and dress requirements the fans had to have in Brisbane. They played under "Beat Crazy" for a while playing a bit more commercial ska sound.

They played a variety of sounds which ranged from reggae to ska. They played both covers and originals. Mostly the covers were more obsure songs that most of the punters would have thought were originals anyway.
