MPD Ltd

[1] Brady and Watson left to perform beat pop music in the footsteps of the Beatles by adding vocals and were joined by Danny Finley (ex-Saxons, Sonics) on drums in May 1965.

[1] Three weeks later they supported United Kingdom visitors, the Dave Clark Five, and local artists, Tony Worsley and the Fabulous Blue Jays on an Australian tour.

It revolved around a frantic, non-stop, 20-minute barrage of songs, Brady and Watson's carefully choreographed gymnastics and Finley's flamboyant drumming antics.

[1] "Walkin' in the Sand" (February 1966), a cover version of the Shangri-Las 1964 hit was MPD Ltd's third single, which reached the top 10 in Melbourne.

[1] The group's following singles "No Regrets" (June 1966) and "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" (August) did not chart.

"[1] The line-up was expanded in 1967 by Phil Blackmore on piano (ex-Normie Rowe and the Playboys), Wayne Duncan on bass guitar and Gary "Dick" Howard on drums.

[1] Early in 1967 Watson formed Rockhouse with Rick Springfield on lead guitar and vocals, when Finley joined on drums in late 1968 they were renamed MPD Ltd and undertook a tour of South Vietnam, returned to Australia but split up soon after.
