jonty84 Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 heyFuck knows how I know things like this but here goes.....Colin Hay was the lead singer from men at work - as far as i know he's a scotsman, but he emigrated to Oz, where he formed the band. he went solo for a bit in the 90's and had several largely forgettable records, and of course, he and his band are best known for their classic 1985 hit 'down under', no doubt a tribute to his second homeland. men at work definitely reformed about 3 years ago, whether or not they're still together, i'm not sure at all. they're probably trailing around on the butlins circuit somewhere, and if not, you can be sure they'll appear in aberdeen at one of those 80's reunited tours sometime in the future. (usually visits music hall or lemon tree)hope that helped Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Denim.. Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I much preferred "Men Without Hats" and the song "Safety Dance". Pure Class.I remember Nullmouse playing it once or twice at Elizium ages ago. (Back when I used to be Granary Goth.) Sue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
