The Koalas - We Don't Want to Grow Up

The trend of the early 70s related or pretend family kid groups like the osmands, the jackson 5, the partridge family and so on found it's way to Australia in the form of groups of unrelated precocious preteens and teenagers singing annoying show tunes and hits of the day such as the TV show Young Talent Time. There where a host of b-teams some of which where fairly good which toured the length and bredth of Australia's shopping centres armed with a song in their hearts and a uniform of bad hair tunics and kinky boots. The koalas where on of them
Actually a niceish album for what it is. A ok version of chirpy chirpy cheep cheep and some hits from the hans christian anderson music amongst it

My Three Sons - Wages of Sin 1988

Australia made several significant contributions to the world of that most tacky of 80s iconic sounds synthpop with names like Icehouse, Real Life, Pseudo Echo, Spk, Kids in the kitchen and many many others. Sadly by the time My Three Sons (Five of them) brought out this record it SP was deader than the Dynamo Man. This album sank without a trace
It's not bad as the genre goes, can be heard the influence of affore mentioned pseudo E as well as oh perhaps The Expression, China Crises, Heaven 17 the like
