well I surfed the net and read that it will be Dave, Polly the keyboard man, and John Bliss the drummer..Craig's name wasn't mentioned but they really need him on guitar to make it complete, as well as Paul on bass, but I guess that Polly can do bass on his keyboard...wonder how it will all turn out?

I was at the ... ( 7 months ago by ps10005)

I was at the Factory in Sydney last night. The line-up was Dave, Polly and John. Polly was doing a lot of work on keyboard, but a great deal of it was sequenced. Dave Mason's voice was getting tired too.
Still, there is great potential for them to come back as a full line-up.

someone posted a ... ( 7 months ago by fasterbludger)

someone posted a couple of snippets from the comeback gig "return" and "this guys in love", yea Dave's voice sounded rough but it was exciting to hear them, even if it was only on youtube (for me)...so what other songs did they sing? can you remember the set list by any chance?

Wow. I forgot ... ( 7 months ago by Tarlam)

Wow. I forgot totally about this song. I'm sure it only needs the right mix and its true colours would shine. The mix broke this song.
I could fix it, if only I had the master and half the band.
What a great song!

I agree!!
Fabulous song.

I went to a garage sale in Potts Point when I was in my early 20s and it was Dave Mason's garage sale - sigh! The highlight of my 20s! It's all been down hill since then!

One of mt all time favourites. The memories of 1981 come flooding back. I wish I was there now, knowing what I know now. Sigh!

Absolutely wonderful song. This embodies so much of what I love about the 80's. For 1981, I would say this is a true gem. I don't agree however about the mix. I think it's fine the way it is. Thank you very much nzoz!!

"Quasimodo's Dream" ... ( 1 month ago by headphone355)

"Quasimodo's Dream" was a chart flop when it first came out in mid-1981, but today it's considered as an Aussie classic. Around this time, Stephan Fidock replaced John Bliss, and Colin Newham left the band altogether.

Strangers' 'Golden Brown' was about the band's addiction to herion.
Dave admitted that the lyrics to this song is nonsense.
