J U M B L E S A L E
Formed in the Sutherland Shire (Sydney) and the lineup consisted of Stephen Bruel (songwriter, lead vocals and bass guitar), Andrew Wass (guitar and backing vocals), Peter Jackson (keyboards and backing vocals) and Adam Boland on drums. Bruel and Wass began playing music together in 1983 while attending Port Hacking High School. A band bio from the time states the following:
"Four young musicians from various backgrounds with diverse musical influences combining to create an individual sound best described as both unique and commercial. A fun dance band with an array of effects created on various keyboards with a beat created by solid bass and inventive drumming. Melodic over tones are introduced through energetic guitar playing. Hookline lyrics and harmonising vocals enhance the sound and invite the audience to participate. The result is a fun time had by all and JUMBLE SALE. The band has played numerous gigs at parties around the Sutherland Shire recently graduating to small hotels and has already demonstrated an ability to create the party feel in a different atmosphere. On stage the band perform a high proportion of original material contrary to the jukebox sound of a covers band. A willingness to use own material reflects the bands serious approach toward s the music and recording industry and a view towards making it to the top"
