Yuuup at the time when the aussie music scene was pub rock. I loved them along I'm Talking, Kate Ceberano, The Rockmelons who were doing r'n'b/dance music, and were really great.

I loved Jelly Baby (1986)

Aussie rock ruled!
First concert I saw live was Pseudo Echo/Uncanny X-Men. We got some great local acts down here in Tassie back in the day.
Saw Geisha underage in a pub- packed shit all night that I'd get caught lol.

Saw I'm talking during Australian Made.

And he was one of the few guys who could rock the mullet, along with John Taylor from Duran Duran and Don Johnson from Season 4 & 5 of Miami Vice

Wa Wa Nee - Sugar Free (Version 2) 1987

American Bandstand 1987- Interview Wa Wa Nee

I honestly can't remember seeing the band live but fammed out at a 1927 gig when Paul was on keys.

And I saw Countdown spectacular (2?)
He was music director/ on stage all night.
Plus rocked the keytar to a few Wa Wa New songs as well.
Very talented man.

Great loss to music
