Australian punk/rock band formed in 1979, noted for high-energy live performances and ties to the Radio Birdman lineage.

Praised for their punk energy and live recordings (notably Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, recorded at CBGB's). Roman Beach Party is documented as inspired by a performance on the beach of Torvaianica. Reviews and archival notes reference members Kent Steedman and Damien Lovelock.
