The Skyhooks

Skyhooks have been described as ‘giving the Australian music industry the enema it needed’ when they smashed onto the scene in their colourful costumes, wearing make-up well before other bands tried it. Living in the 70s was their debut album, Ego is Not A Dirty Word was released a year later and it wasn’t long before the five members of the bands were celebrities. They released killer singles such as Horror Movie, Ego (Is Not a Dirty Word), Women In Uniform, and Jukebox in Siberia, to name a few, and are one of the few bands who have been permanently on rotation on radio stations around the country for decades.

Skyhooks were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and ceased touring together after the death of lead singer Shirley in 2001.
