Tablewaiters

The founding members, Graeme Synold and Tony Ameneiro, met in Sydney in 1980 while studying art at the Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education.

Various bootleg copies were in existence from the master tapes, though they are of poor quality as the recordings had not reached the mixing stage.

[11] Loyde also produced material by other SCAM artists including: The Sunnyboys (extended play, December 1980), Machinations (November 1981) and Sardine v's single, "Sabotage".

With the pub rock scene in its heyday, Tablewaiters performed several nights a week, both in support spots and as a headline act.

Being Sydney-based they were regulars at The Civic Hotel, The Trade Union Club,[18] Governor’s Pleasure at the Rocks, as well as at many suburban venues.

Several tours and important support spots included playing with Simple Minds,[19] The Psychedelic Furs,[20] Split Enz,[20] INXS, Midnight Oil, Machinations, Laughing Clowns,[21][better source needed] Models, Hunters and Collectors, Eurogliders, and The Birthday Party.
