Here is a bit of info about him. He appeared on Kevin Dennis's New Faces, twice accompanied by his mate Kevin on guitar prior to them asking me to form a band with them. Band members were, Clive - Vocals, Lance - Drums, Vicky - Keyboards, Larry - Bass, Kevin & Garry - Guitars. The band had a different name every week but did play quite a few pub gigs around Melbourne. Band lasted approx. 12 - 18 months. I did not see him again until he was performing at the Middle in Ferntree Gully in a band called Talk that Walk who had a single out (Suface Tension b/w Harvest Time. Ran into him again later at Shane O'Mara's (Rebecca's Empire) 30th birthday party. He was just starting his solo career and Shane was involved in the recording of his material. He also appeared on Steve Vizard's show. Before becoming a singer he worked at a credit union and was married to Julie. He quit his job at the credit union to concentrate on his singing and supplemented his income by working part time painting with his then father in law. The last time I saw him he had remarried.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066882668221471288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695173880952563325.post-41287203250200207522010-08-02T00:49:42.918+10:002010-08-02T00:49:42.918+10:00Welcome back.

To this day, they are still my favourite band of all time. The members went their own way. I think Peter still has a pizza place in Newtown and I believe Jeremy ended up in Ipswich, Qld. Richard Burgman went on the play with the reformed Saints - another great band of the 80s under the direction of Chris Bailey. What a great time for Australian live music! oh, for the memories!<br />Cheers, Craig D, MelbourneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695173880952563325.post-47968889292564890242010-06-12T12:41:32.542+10:002010-06-12T12:41:32.542+10:00hi rhys,

That's been a deliberate intent on my part to research and write about artists that people might not know much about. The title 'diva' is a subjective term, and do I really care if someone else agrees or disagrees with my personal assessment - no - we are all entitled to our opinion. Having said that, you are spot on in saying that the immensely talented Donna Summer is in another league. One day, when I have the time, I'll probably write an entry (or even two) about her as well - not to mention 300-400 other artists. If you'd rather not wait for me to do the work in researching and writing about Donna Summer, you can always do it yourself.A.

Anita became a has-been immediately after Ring My Bell slipped off the charts, she was a forgettable singer with modest talent. Ring My Bell was a hit because it was well-produced, they wouldn't have had any trouble finding some other nobody to sing the song as well or better. Anita hardly earns the title "diva" for one hit, and when there were true divas like Donna in comparison.Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984532697650444030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695173880952563325.post-283654065618847962010-05-15T07:14:32.366+10:002010-05-15T07:14:32.366+10:00Good write up, I love Mi-Sex, so many more great s...Good write up, I love Mi-Sex, so many more great songs on the albums ... ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695173880952563325.post-45550042145500833232010-05-04T11:31:25.863+10:002010-05-04T11:31:25.863+10:00Will have to cross reference my review of "Do...Will have to cross reference my review of "Dont stop believin" as yours goes in to heaps of detail (and does not really pull fun at the song!)

The Montellas would like to say a huge thank you for the overwelming support and wonderful letters and comments over the years that we still continue to receive since we were cut adrift for not playing the corporate game. The Montellas never sold out, and never will, so hopefully in the coming months we will be looking to release these songs. Anyone interested please get in touch, love from THE MONTELLAS.
