Tin Lids

The Tin Lids were an Australian group comprising Mahalia Barnes, Eliza-Jane Barnes, Elly-may Barnes and Jackie Barnes.

The band released three albums following their first hit single, "Walk the Dinosaur". The first, in 1991, was a collection of Christmas songs called Hey Rudolph, which sold over 100,000 copies. Two further albums were released including Snakes and Ladders, now listed on rare records websites.

They were the back up singers for the song "When Your Love is Gone".

Tin Lids is rhyming slang for the kids as the band are all children of Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes and his Thai-born wife Jane Mahoney (born Jane Dejakasaya).

Their maternal-uncle is also an Australian rock artist Mark Denis Lizotte, who performs as Johnny Diesel.
