Film scripts she has written include those for Broken English (co-written with Gregor Nicholas and James Salter) and Alex (featuring original music she co-wrote with Hunter, and for which she performed lead vocals on the soundtrack).
Pigott was educated at the Presbyterian Ladies' College, Sydney in Croydon, together with schoolmate Angela Webber.
The group's early practice sessions were in the front room of a Birchgrove house where Gooding (and later Rendall) lived.
[10] Their first single was a punk version of Tommy Leonetti's "My City of Sydney" (1979), which had a promo video showing the four band members in bed together and Pigott performing lead vocals and bass guitar.
XL Capris' second single "Skylab (Son of Telstar)", released later that same year, was written by Rendall but had even less success.
Michael Churnside (bass) also joined the group, and when Anderson left she was replaced on drums by Barry Blackler.
Gooding wrote ten songs for the record, including two with Pigott: "Red Bikini Runaway"[12] (single, April 1981) and "Hi Rise Heart".
[11] Street poster art featuring XL Capris include: Toby Zoates' 1978 screenprint, XL Capris[13] for the B-side of their 1981 single "Red Bikini Runaway" called "K-Tel City" and features the band on the bonnet of a car crashing into a TV game show; and Paul Worstead's 1979 screen prints, Settlement Dance – Scarlet, XL-Capris[14] and XL-Capris, Settlement – Beginning of School Holiday Dance.
Scribble (1983–1987) was a post punk synth pop band based around Pigott (vocals, guitar, keyboard) with session musicians and band members including Hunter, Mark Bell, Lee Borkman, Mike Caen, Bill Heckenberg, Geoff Lungren and Tim Powles.
[11] Scribble's two albums were So Far 1983–1985 (1985) and Pop Art (1986),[11] which had ten tracks, including singles "Sunday School", "Don't Give Your Heart Away" and "Alligator" (all co-written by Pigott and Hunter).
[12] "Alligator" (a reference to Pigott's nickname from XL Capris) was later performed by Fleur Beaupert during season six of Heartbreak High in episodes No.
Pigott remembers, "I went from a little underground band to finding myself up the back of the Entertainment Centre hearing 10,000 people sing the chorus of my song.
John Farnham had asked Hunter and Pigott to write him a song, and they provided him with number-one hit single, "Age of Reason" (which reached the top of the charts on 30 July 1988 and remained there for four weeks).
During 1983–1984 Pigott and Gooding created the ABC TV series Sweet and Sour (1984), they also wrote episodes.
Her close friend and former schoolmate, Angela Webber, had created the TV series and Gooding also wrote scripts for some episodes.
Pigott performed "I'll Stand by You" for the soundtrack and, with Hunter, wrote: "The Love Theme", "The Polo Factor" and "Nell Rides Out" for the film score.
The New Zealand film won six awards and is a Romeo and Juliet for Māori Eddie, and an immigrant Croatian Nina.
