Sydney, Australia (1980 – present)
The duo formed in Sydney, Australia, after meeting at a Sydney Opera House concert in 1980, and for the first two years they performed in pubs and clubs in Sydney’s Kings Cross. They provided the soundtrack for the movie Monkey Grip with Amphlett (who is first cousins with 1960s teen surf-pop singer Little Pattie) also acting in the film. She received a Best Supporting Actress nomination from the Australian Film Institute for her performance and the group had two hit singles, “Boys In Town” and “Only Lonely” from the soundtrack.
They also had hits with their cover versions of The Easybeats’s “I’ll Make You Happy”, and the Syndicate of Sound’s “Hey Little Boy” (“Hey Little Girl” with the gender switched). Amphlett became a controversial and highly visible celebrity, known for her brash and overtly sexual persona, and for the subversive humour in both her lyrics and her performances. They toured and performed in the United States and established a fan base there, without achieving major commercial success.
