The Moodists

The Moodists were a post-punk band from Melbourne, formed in 1979 - Dave Graney - vocalist, Steve Miller - guitarist, Clare Moore - drummer, Chris Walsh - bassist, and Mick Turner - guitarist. During the 1980s, The Moodists were something of a well-kept secret. In fact, over six years of existence the band spent only half that time in Australia. In the UK, where the band based itself for three years, it was a different matter. There The Moodists were acknowledged as proto-grunge noisemakers.
