Eurogliders

The band's sophisticated brand of pop was traditional in its structure, but displayed the decidedly 'modern veneer' (hip clothes, heavy use of synthesiser)".

Guitarist and singer Bernie Lynch (as Rip Torn) fronted a new wave band, The Stockings, in Perth, Western Australia in the late 1970s.

The following year, Grace Knight – Lynch's future domestic partner – joined as lead vocalist.

[7] At the height of the band's success, Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch reconciled their relationship and were married in 1985 but the union was short-lived.

In early 1987, journalists documented Lynch and Knight's claim that Bennetts, François and Vincent left the band voluntarily.

François became a session musician in Australia, while Bennets toured with Eartha Kitt, and later worked in the Educational IT industry before founding Monkeydrum Studios.

[10] Reduced to a duo, Lynch and Knight recorded their fourth album (Groove) with session musicians, including Akerman.

13 in February but the next singles, "It Must Be Love" in June, "Listen" in September and "Precious" in March 1989 did not reach the top 50.

[1] Akerman returned to his visual art background and became a painter,[11] Lynch initially pursued a solo music career; while Knight became a successful jazz singer.

[12] This launched a new career for Knight as a jazz singer with her first solo album, Stormy Weather, which peaked at No.

[12] Lynch became involved in theatre and soundtrack composition,[7] and as the business manager of his second wife, fashion designer Collette Dinnigan.

[13] Eurogliders reformed in October 2005, with Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch using session musicians including former member, Rex Goh,[14] and they released their fifth studio album, simply called Eurogliders and included the single, "Hummingbird", but neither album nor single peaked into the ARIA top 50 charts.

The group's sixth album, Blue Kiss, was recorded during the same sessions as the previous and was released in mid-2006, it also had no top 50 charting.

In 2013 it was announced that the Eurogliders were expected to reform to support The Boomtown Rats on a planned reunion tour of Australia in May.
