History

This Tasmanian band is one of OzRock's many obscurities. Apart from the lineup and their rather unfortunate name (which suggests a soul-oriented repertoire) the only information we've been able to locate is that they played in and around Hobart during the early '70s and that they made two recordings -- "All Right Now" (presumably a cover of the Free song) and "South Carolina".

These were included on a 1970 compilation LP called Scene, a sampler of Tassie bands of the day, which featured a couple of tracks each by Albino Spade, Bacchus, Medium Cool and Transit.
