Models were an alternative rock group formed in Melbourne, Australia, in August 1978 and 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. Out of Mind, Out of Sight appeared on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with the single, "Out of Mind, Out of Sight", peaking at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. An earlier song from the same album, "Barbados", had peaked at No. 2 on the Australian singles chart.

Models early line-up included Andrew Duffield on keyboards, Mark Ferrie on bass guitar, Janis Friedenfelds (aka Johnny Crash) on drums and percussion, and Sean Kelly on vocals and lead guitar. A later line-up was mainstay Kelly on guitar, James Freud on vocals and bass, Roger Mason on keyboards, Barton Price on drums, and James Valentine on saxophone. Backing singers in the group included Zan Abeyratne and Kate Ceberano (both from I'm Talking) and Canadian-born Wendy Matthews. In early 1989, Duffield, Kelly, Matthews and Valentine were members of Absent Friends. On 27 October 2010, Models were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame by Matthews.

History

1978–79: Early years

Models were formed in 1978, in Melbourne they developed from an environment of numerous punk, New Wave bands, two of these were Teenage Radio Stars which included singer and guitarist Sean Kelly and bass guitarist Peter Sutcliffe (aka Pierre Voltaire); and JAB which included Ash Wednesday on keyboards, Sutcliffe and Janis Friedenfelds (aka Johnny Crash) on drums and percussion.^[1][2] Models formed in August with Friedenfelds, Kelly, Sutcliffe, and Wednesday, they were more pop influenced than the earlier punk bands and had a wider appeal.^[1][3] The initial version of the group did not stay together for long as Sutcliffe was soon replaced on bass guitar by Mark Ferrie (ex-Myriad), then in August 1979, Wednesday was replaced by Andrew Duffield (born on 9 February 1958) from Whirlywirld on keyboards.^[3][4] Their first release in October 1979 was a give-away, shared single, "Early Morning Brain (It's Not Quite the Same as Sobriety)" backed with The Boys Next Door's "Scatterbrain".^[1][5] Friction within the band led to their break-up in November. Ex-The Easybeats members, Harry Vanda and George Young, who were now record producers and songwriters, asked Models to cut some demos – so they reformed at the end of December.^[1][3] Their second single, "Owe You Nothing" appeared in August 1980. Both singles were released on independent labels^[2][6] and did not chart on the Top 40 Australian singles chart according to the Kent Music Report.^[7]

1980–82: Alphabravocharliedeltaechofoxtrotgolf to Local and/or General

Models performed extensively both locally and interstate, supporting the Ramones, The B-52's, XTC, The Vapors and Midnight Oil on national tours.^[1][6] Rather than signing immediately, the group financed the recording of their first album to guarantee creative control. In November 1980, the Duffield, Ferrie, Friedenfelds and Kelly line-up released their first album, Alphabravocharliedeltaechofoxtrotgolf.^[2] They then signed to Mushroom Records and, as a sign of its respect for the band, the label agreed not to release any singles from the album, which peaked at No. 43 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart.^[7] It was well received by audiences on the live pub circuit. The group intended to record completely new material for their studio albums. Much of their earlier work was unreleased until 2002, when Models Melbourne, a compilation album of live material, was released.^[2]

Models' early style was a spiky, distinctive blend of New Wave, glam rock, dub and pop: which included Kelly's strangled singing voice, Duffield's virtuoso synthesiser performances (he used the EMS Synthi AKS, as used by Pere Ubu on their Dub Housing), and the band's cryptic, slightly gruesome, lyrics (e.g. "Hans Stand: A War Record" from Alphabravocharliedeltaechofoxtrotgolf), which were mostly written or co-written by Kelly.

Early in 1981, following a support slot for The Police, the group signed an international deal with A&M Records. Friedenfelds was replaced on drums by Mark Hough (aka Buster Stiggs) from New Zealand band The Swingers before recording commenced on their international label release.^[2][8] Friedenfields went on to play with Sacred Cowboys, Beasts of Bourbon, The Slaughterman and Tombstone Heads. In June, the demo sessions for the new album so impressed the band that they were released as a 10" album, Cut Lunch, which were produced by Tony Cohen and Models except one by Split Enz keyboard player Eddie Rayner.^[1][2] Cut Lunch peaked at No. 37 on the albums chart and at No. 38 on the singles chart.^[7] It included the whimsical pop tune, "Two Cabs to the Toucan".^[1] In October, their second full-length album Local &/or General, was released, it had been recorded in the United Kingdom with Stephen Tayler producing.^[1][2] Local and/or General peaked at No. 30 and provided the single, "Local &/or General" in November, which did not chart.^[7]

Both albums helped widen their audience nationally, thanks to regular radio exposure on Triple J in Sydney and on community stations in other cities, as well as national TV exposure through their innovative music videos on programs such as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC-TV) pop music show Countdown.

During 1982, further line-up changes occurred with Ferrie and Hough leaving early in the year. Ferrie went on to form Sacred Cowboys with Garry Gray and Terry Doolan and, as of November 2010, he played bass guitar in the RocKwiz house band on SBS TV.^[9] Hough became a graphic artist, art director and designer.^[10] James Freud (ex-Teenage Radio Stars, James Freud & Berlin) joined the band on bass guitar and vocals, with John Rowell on guitar and Graham Scott on drums (both ex-Curse).^[1][3] Kelly and Freud had been in high school bands which developed into Teenage Radio Stars.^[1] Freud had a solo hit single, "Modern Girl", which peaked at No. 12 in 1980.^[7] Rowell and Scott left Models in May 1982, with Duffield following.^[1] New Zealand drummer, Barton Price (ex-Crocodiles, Sardine v) joined.^[1] They recorded a single, "On", produced by veteran rocker, Lobby Loyde, and released in August.^[1][2] It had no mainstream chart success, but peaked at No. 1 on the independent charts.^[1][7] Gus Till (ex-Beargarden) briefly joined on keyboards until Duffield rejoined in December.^[1] In 1982 they made a film, Pop Movie, which featured animation and live footage of the band, it was screened on TV rock show, Nightmoves, as well as at a few cinemas.^[5][6]

1983–85: The Pleasure of Your Company to Out of Mind, Out of Sight

Models' line-up of Duffield, Freud, Kelly and Price issued the highly regarded The Pleasure of Your Company in October 1983, produced by Nick Launay.^[1][2] Its big drum sound and dance-ability, reflected Launay's influence, and Freud's more radio-friendly voice made the album more accessible. The album was critically acclaimed and peaked at No. 12, with the single "I Hear Motion" becoming a No. 16 hit.^[1][7] Duffield later explained that the song's distinctive keyboard part had been inspired by a riff from Stevie Wonder's hit "Superstition". "I Hear Motion" was used on the soundtrack for the Yahoo Serious film Young Einstein (1988).^[11] The band released two other singles, "God Bless America" and "No Shoulders, No Head", but neither charted into the Top 50.^[7] The band supported David Bowie for the Australian leg of his Serious Moonlight Tour in November. Kelly and Duffield were invited to sing backing vocals on the INXS album, The Swing. The video for "God Bless America", from March 1984, featured backing singers Zan Abeyratne and Kate Ceberano (both members of I'm Talking).^[5] Kelly appeared ready to disband Models and was even rehearsing with a new band.^[3] Mushroom Records convinced him to continue with Models and their next single, "Big on Love" produced by Reggie Lucas, was released in November 1984 and peaked at No. 24.^[3][7]

Fellow Australian band INXS were fans of Models, their manager, Chris Murphy signed them to his MMA management company.^[3] The group created a hybrid of their alternative roots with a more commercial sound and, under the influence of Murphy, they reassessed their direction and moved towards to a more radio-friendly format.^[3] By late 1984, Models relocated to Sydney and Duffield – with his crucial influence on the band's sound – was forced out by Murphy under acrimonious circumstances to be replaced by Roger Mason (ex-James Freud's Berlin) on keyboards and James Valentine on saxophone.^[1][3] Duffield released a solo album, Ten Happy Fingers in 1986 on his own Retrograde Records label.^[1] For touring during 1983 to 1985, the group was regularly augmented by backing singers Abeyratne and Ceberano; and in 1985, Canadian-born singer Wendy Matthews joined.^[1][3] Matthews and Kelly became a couple, remaining together for 11 years, and later founded the band Absent Friends.^[12]

In early 1985, Models started recording material for their next album, Out of Mind, Out of Sight, produced by Launay, Lucas and Mark Opitz.^[1][2] A single from the album, "Barbados", was released in March, which peaked at No. 2.^[7] It was a reggae influenced song co-written by Freud and Duffield (prior to his departure).^[1][13] The song related a tale of alcoholism and suicide, it later provided Freud with the titles of his two autobiographies, I Am the Voice Left from Drinking (2002) and I Am the Voice Left from Rehab (2007).^[14][15] The video clip was influenced by the film, The Deer Hunter, it included a cameo by Garry Gary Beers of INXS and was directed by Richard Lowenstein.^[5]

On 13 July, Models performed four songs for the Oz for Africa concert (part of the global Live Aid program) – "Big on Love", "I Hear Motion", "Stormy Tonight", "Out of Mind, Out of Sight". It was broadcast in Australia (on both Seven Network and Nine Network) and on MTV in the United States.^[16] Models went on a national tour with I'm Talking in July. In November, the band appeared on The Royal Variety Performance for Prince Charles and Princess Diana – Rocking the Royals at the Victoria State Arts Centre.^[6][17] The band released their most commercially successful work with the No. 1 hit single "Out of Mind, Out of Sight" in July and the No. 3 album Out of Mind, Out of Sight in August.^[1][7] "Out of Mind, Out of Sight" was the only No. 1 single on the Australian singles chart for 1985 by an Australian artist.^[1][7] (Midnight Oil's Species Deceases which peaked at No. 1 on the singles charts in December 1985 was an EP.)^[7] For the album, Models were Freud, Kelly, Mason, Matthews, Price and Valentine with Zan Abeyratne, and her twin sister, Sherine Abeyratne (Big Pig) on backing vocals.^[1][2]

"Cold Fever" released in October was their next single, which peaked into the Top 40.^[7] It was followed by a Christmas single, "King of Kings", which contains portions of a speech by Martin Luther King, issued in December with all proceeds donated to the Salvation Army,^[5][6] but it did not chart into the Top 50.^[7] In 1986, Geffen Records released Out of Mind, Out of Sight in the US and it appeared on the Billboard 200 albums chart,^[18] with the single, "Out of Sight, Out of Mind", peaking at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.^[19] The band toured the US in November supporting Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.^[1][6]

1986–88: Models' Media to dissolution

In 1986, Models went to UK to record their next album, Models' Media, with Julian Mendelsohn and Opitz, at Trevor Horn's state-of-the-art SARM West Studios in London.^[1][2] Two singles peaked into the Top 30, "Evolution" in September, and "Let's Kiss" in November. Models' Media was released in December and peaked at No. 30 but was less successful than Out of Mind, Out of Sight.^[7] Models also featured on the Australian Made Tour of late 1986 to January 1987 with INXS, Mental as Anything, The Triffids, I'm Talking, The Saints, Divinyls and Jimmy Barnes on the ticket.^[1] "Hold On" was released in March 1987 and peaked in the Top 30, their final single was a cover of The Beatles' "Oh! Darling" in September which peaked in the Top 50.^[7]

During 1987, Ceberano and Matthews sang together on the soundtrack for ABC-TV series, Stringer, the resultant album, You've Always Got the Blues was released in 1988, and peaked at No. 4 on the albums chart.^[1][7] Models members, including Mason as lead singer and Kelly on bass guitar, formed a side-project, The Clampetts, to record covers of nine country music tracks, which was released in 1987 as The Last Hoedown.^[2][20] Valentine left Models to pursue a radio and television journalism career.^[20]

In 1988, the Thank You Goodnight Tour was conducted but the pressures of ten years of touring, as well as financial troubles, hastened the break-up of Models, which was announced in June 1988,^[1] however in 2008, Kelly disputed the break-up:^[21]

I remember in the late '80s I noticed James' [Freud] Record Company put out a press release that we'd split up, which was completely inaccurate. Because we had so many individuals in the group, we've always been able to sustain it in one form or another - and fortunately for me they've always let me be involved. As long as I'm there, we get to claim that continuity.^[22]

1988–current: post-dissolution and reunions

Models' extended live exposure ensured that they stayed in the public eye when other contemporaries had been forgotten: the band's later work remained popular on radio throughout the 1990s; this, coupled with critical acclaim and cult appeal of earlier work, re-stimulated interest in their work in the latter half of that decade. The band reformed for a few gigs in 2000; in 2001 their rarities album Melbourne was released.^[22] Freud has written two memoirs, I Am The Voice Left From Drinking (2002) and I Am The Voice Left From Rehab (2007); the titles are both taken from "Barbados" and allude to his addiction with drugs and alcohol, and his subsequent recovery attempts.^[14][15]

Kelly and Matthews formed Absent Friends in early 1989 which included ex-Models members Duffield, Mason and Valentine. With Matthews on lead vocals their 1990 hit single, "I Don’t Want to Be with Nobody but You" peaked at No. 4 on the ARIA Charts.^[23] The associated album, Here's Looking Up Your Address peaked at No. 7.^[23] Absent Friends disbanded in 1991 and Kelly fronted The Dukes from 1991 to 1994. Matthews provided a No. 11 hit with her first solo album Émigré late in 1990.^[24] She followed with Lily, which peaked at No. 2 in 1992,^[24] and provided her best performed single, "The Day You Went Away", which also peaked at No. 2.^[24] Matthews and Kelly separated as a couple in the mid-1990s.^[12]

Duffield wrote music (including the theme) for the Australian children's TV series, Round the Twist; and in 2007 composed all music and sound effects for the TV comedy, Kick.^[25] Duffield teamed up with Phil Kennihan to found a successful advertising music partnership.

Mason has composed soundtracks for many feature films and television series both locally and internationally. Valentine later worked in children's TV, was a popular radio host on 702 ABC Sydney and published a successful series of children's books. Price returned to New Zealand after stints with various Australian bands, and the world's first drum sample CD. Wednesday formed Crashland and plays with German avant garde band Einstürzende Neubauten.

Various versions of Models have reformed on several occasions for short tours, including in 2006 and in September 2008.^[26][27] The 2008 version was: Kelly, Freud, his son Jackson Freud (from Attack of the Mannequins) on guitar, Tim Rosewarne (ex-Big Pig, Chocolate Starfish) on keyboards and Cameron Goold (Propaganda Klann, Christine Anu backing band) on drums.^[22] In August 2010, Duffield, Ferrie, Kelly and Price reformed for two concerts in Sydney and Melbourne.^[28] On 27 October, Models were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame by Matthews.^[29] The line-up of Duffield, Ferrie, Kelly, Mason, Price and Valentine performed "I Hear Motion" and "Evolution".^[30][31] Matthews recalled meeting the group for the first time at a recording session – she was due to provide backing vocals but they were busy playing indoor cricket in the studio. During the ceremony, Kelly explained Freud's absence by saying he had "another bicycle accident".^[32] A week later, Freud was found dead at his Hawthorn home on 4 November in a suspected suicide.^[32]
