Peter Richard McCracken is an Australian composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter, living and working in the Melbourne area.
[1] The Plums recorded another EP, Read All Over (May 1993), and followed with a studio album, Gun (April 1994) which was picked up and played by national radio broadcaster, JJJ.
[1] Around this time McCracken had formed the punk-pop band Dangersharks, members of which included at various times Sam Maughan, Stan Dunsten, David Nelson, bassist Daniel Elhay, saxophonist Charlie Todd (the Wreckery), James Todd, Moffat and Juz Siedle.
The band gathered a loyal following of fans and gained a reputation as a somewhat lunatic underground "collective", releasing Bare Foot Head, a seven-track EP.
In 1997 McCracken joined Melbourne pop-rock band, Deadstar, replacing previous bass guitarist Nick Seymour.
