Description:

[ERA : 60s / Instrumental, Rock'n'Roll ] Melbourne instrumental (later vocal) band formed in 1960. Besides becoming very popular in their own right, they were in constant demand by many promoters to appear at their venues and also back many of the solo artists of the era, including Johnny O'Keefe. In May 1964 they were slected as one of the supporting acts for the Beatles tour of Australia. They opened each show with two songs, the A&B sides of their latest W&G single, 'Hava Nagila' & 'Round and Round'. They also supported Johnny Chester & Johnny Devlin on the tour. In 1965 they drafted Mike Brady (The Hearsemen) into the group to replace guitarist Dave Lincoln who'd been badly injured in a car accident. The band started playing a more contempary beat style of music. That was vitually the end of the Phantoms as they were originally known (Shadows style instumentals) and soon they enlisted The Saxons drummer Danny Finley and from there, MPD Ltd. was born.
