WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Tom Kazas
Tom has released a number of solo CD's and has been doing freelance studio engineering for a lot of different bands. In 1992, he produced a 5 track EP called "Goddamn" for Australian band You Am I. In 1993, he made an interesting change of pace and recorded Tiny Tim's Christmas Album. In the mid-1990's, he was associated with an ethnic/conventional pop/rock band (their description, not mine) called Fig Tree Rennaisance . They released a CD of the same name in 1994, which Tom produced. At this time, he was described as "the resident composer at the Takeaway Theatre/Hellenic Theatrical Group".
He has also been in Taj Orange with Smiley and Andrew Byrnes. In 1993, he released an instrumental CD called "Book of Saturday" , with Andrew Byrnes playing on a few tracks. This is a great atmospheric composition and a must for all Moffs fans. In 1995 he released a self-titled CD on Ravenswood Records featuring Andrew on drums/percussion and Tom on everything else. About a year ago, he was sited working in a takeaway food shop in Marrickville. He is probably in Greece at the moment.
Smiley Byrnes
Smiley was also been in a band called Lazarus (does anyone know more about this band?) as well as Taj Orange after the Moffs and played on some of Tom's solo CD's. He has also played grade cricket as an opening batsman!
Nick Potts
Nick has been helping me with the site (thanks Nick!) and is currently touring Europe with a band of travelling minstrals. Nick is interested in a huge array of unusual musical instruments including the hurdy gurdy, tin whistle and the dulcimer. He and collects war books and memorabilia. Here's a picture of Nick in costume - he's the one on the left.
Brandon Saul
Brandon is of "Brandon Saul Management" fame and books festivals in the Byron Bay area.
Alan Hislop
Alan has played with the Trash Potatoes and Interstellar Villains with Tony Thewlis of Scientists fame. He is currently in a band called The Obvious Question with Damon Giles and Greg Kasch. Apparently the guys are in the middle of doing some recording (Thanks for the info, Miss Meredith). Nice to see that these guys are still collaborating!
Suicidal Flowers
Nick, Alan, Damon, Greg and Ashley King were in a band called "Suicidal Flowers" that played around Sydney in the late 1980's. They even recorded a single (will find out the name from Miss Jane or Miss Meredith - Miss Jane & I did back-up vocals on it back in 1988!). Ben took some fabulous photos of the band, who although didn't play much, were very photogenic!
Mick Duncan
Mick was working in a Sydney music shop and plays in the Flaming Barstools with his brothers Ian and Rob and "father" Dave Alexander. They are just about to release a CD called "Troubleland"
Damon Giles
Damon is still "defending the nation" and plays his banjo at home in inner city Sydney. He also plays at Stupidity reunion gigs. He is currently in The Obvious Question with Alan Hislop and Greg Kasch.
Andrew Byrnes
Andrew played on some of Tom's solo CD's, has done some session work and attended the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. He was also in Taj Orange.
Scott Barnes
Can anyone help me with his story?
Dave Slade
After fronting No Man's Land, Dave went onto the Medicine Show and now lives the life of a country gentleman in northern New South Wales. He plays in Love and Squallor, listens to Herb Alpert albums, has shaved off his wild hair, is the father of Sarah and no longer wears Hawaiian shirts.
Jim Leone
Jim still plays with the Celibate Rifles who have just finished recording a new album. He has also been involved in a number of other projects including The Well (with Peter Koppes of the Church), Love Rodeo (with Rod Radaja), Grapefruit and The New Monk. The Celibate Rifles are still alive & well and will be touring Melbourne at the beginning of December 2000. Catch them if you are around as these guys can still rock!
