The Hummingbirds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hummingbirds were an Australian jangle pop band formed in 1986 from members of the band Bug Eyed Monsters. Band members originally comprised singer/guitarist Simon Holmes, bassist John Boyce and drummer Mark Temple; vocalist/guitarist Alannah Russack signed soon after. The classic Hummingbirds included the departure of Boyce and the addition of singer/bassist Robyn St. Clare.
They debuted in 1987 with the single "Alimony", followed by "Everything You Said", "Swim to Shore" and "Hindsight". The Hummingbirds then signed to rooART and recorded loveBUZZ with Mitch Easter. It was a major hit and earned an American release, though sales were slow despite excellent reviews. They continued recording for Australian audiences, releasing another LP, 1992's Va Va Voom. They then moved to the indie label "IV Recordings" where they released two EPs in 1993, "Gone" and "Tail". The group disbanded in December 1993.
