Sydney, Australia (1976 – 2002)
The band split in 2002 to allow Garrett to focus on his political career. He is currently a member of the Australian House of Representatives and the was the Australian Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts from 2007-2010. As of 2010, he is the Australian Minister for Education. The band has reunited since then for two benefit concerts: the 2005 WaveAid concert for Indian Ocean Tsunami victims and in March 2009 the band reformed for two shows in Canberra as a warm up for “Sound Relief” in Melbourne, a benefit concert for the Victorian Bushfire victims.
The Oils, as they are known to their fans, began as a progressive rock band called Farm in the early 1970s, then under the Midnight Oil name developed a reputation as an impressive and hard-working live act associated with the surfing community of Sydney. They became one of Australia’s most respected bands, known for their live performances, and also for their activism and support for community groups and causes.
