about
There are at least three bands called Models. At least seven others bands are called The Models, but only the ones actually called Models are listed here. Please distinguish and scrobble accordingly. The three bands called Models, without the article 'The', are: 1. an Australian rock group from Melbourne, 2. a short-lived punk band from London, United Kingdom and 3. a pop band from Serbia. 1. Models were an alternative rock group formed in Melbourne, Australia, formed in August 1978. They went into hiatus in 1988. They are often incorrectly referred to as The Models. They re-formed in 2000, 2006 and 2008 to perform reunion concerts. "Out of Mind, Out of Sight", their only No. 1 hit, appeared on the Australian singles charts in July 1985. The related album, Out of Mind, Out of Sight, peaked at No. 3 on the Australian albums charts after its release in August. An earlier song from the same album, "Barbados", had peaked at No. 2 on the Australian singles chart. They formed from two earlier punk/new wave bands, Teenage Radio Stars (singer and guitarist Sean Kelly) and JAB (Ash Wednesday, Pierre Voltaire and Johnny Crash, keyboards, bass and drums respectively). This version of the group did not stay together for long, however, and soon Ash Wednesday was replaced by Andrew Duffield and Pierre Voltaire by Mark Ferrie. In 1980 this line-up released their first album, Alphabravocharliedeltaechofoxtrotgolf, which was not commercially successful, but was well received by audiences
