This obscure band hailed from Bankstown in Sydney and whom would’ve remained virtually unknown if wasn’t for the future exploits of their young and naive manager Paul Keating. This man not long after the break up of the band became one of the youngest federal parliamentarians at the age of 25 in 1969. He (Keating) would become a long serving federal Treasurer in the Bob Hawke government of the ’80s & 90s. Who finally disposed Hawke from the top spot and led the country between 1991 and 1996.
