Emerging from the pub and independent music scene in the early 1990s, the band rapidly developed a reputation for their high-energy live performances and a distinctive sound that blends alternative rock, punk, pop and electronic influences. Their breakthrough followed a series of ARIA Award-winning releases and a run of chart successes, most notably their acclaimed cover of ‘Black Betty’, which went on to become a defining anthem in Australian rock music.
