They formed in Melbourne in 1977 and were led by Philip Brophy. The group performed music, produced artwork, films, videos, live theatre, multi-media, and wrote literature. 

 

"Ads" was initially made for a video art exchange between Japan (Scan Gallery) and Australia (George Paton Gallery); The first version of "I You We" was made on Super 8 for "Art In The Age of Mechanical Reproduction" at the George Paton Gallery in July 1982, and was then remade in its current format for "Pirates & Mutineers" at Roslyn Oxley Gallery in May 1983. "Pop Art" was recorded for one side of a limited edition give-away single at at special night a the Crystal Ballroom in December 1979. The Sydney Theatre Company's production of "Performance 2 - Magazine" (conceived by Ralph Kerle, Tim Gooding and Philip Brophy) occurred for one night only in March 1983.
