THE NEW CHRISTS

JIM DICKSON, NICK FISHER, ROB YOUNGER, CHARLIE OWEN, plus LOUIS TILLET

Founded by ex-Radio Birdman vocalist Rob Younger, Australia's New Christs have managed to persevere through many personnel changes, as well as Younger's many commitments producing other bands. Initially started as a one-off to record a single ("Face a New God," 1981, now worth big money down under), the band did not perform until 1983 when Younger assembled an all-star lineup featuring members of the Celibate Rifles, Birdman, and a future Hoodoo Guru to tour with Iggy Pop, then making his first venture down under. Younger, perhaps Australia's most charismatic frontman, apparently left Pop (who, it must be noted, had a relatively inferior band) in the dust. Several singles and lineups followed and the debut album, Distemper, was not released until 1989
