The Dearhunters

In 1998,[1][3][4] Greg Hitchcock, Tim Oxley, Jodi Phillis and Raphael Whittingham, who were successful artists solo or in various other acts,[3][5] formed The Dearhunters in a pub in Sydney.

On working on the album, Phillis said in an interview that "in this group I feel free to explore any territory and I’m not afraid to get too introspective or sentimental".

[8] "Red wine and blue" features dual vocals between Oxley and Phillis,[7] and as a group, they have produced favorable reviews.

[2][9] Following the release of their split EP in 1999 and full length album in the same year,[1] Whittingham left the group and was replaced by Ashton.

[3] Then, after a small subsequent tour following their album release, the group disbanded and returned to prior musical projects or engaged in new ones.
