Mark Seymour wrote his first song in the summer of 1980 about a space invader machine. He was broke at the time, living in a Carlton share house with no power and no running water.
Shortly after the pop band he was in, ‘The Jetsonnes’, morphed into something slightly more apocalyptic, changed its name to ‘Hunters and Collectors’.. and Seymour went on to compose the dancefloor hell-scape single ‘Talking to a Stranger’ which secured several international record deals.

Three years later, with the departure of Greg Perano on industrial percussion, the demonic groove was lost. Hunters and Collectors morphed again and Seymour wrote the pop ballad ‘Throw Your Arms Around Me’..
