With their top single โ€œBaby I Donโ€™t Careโ€ reaching number 3 in the UK and Australian Charts, the band drew global media attention for their rebellious and anarchic image. They will be bringing iconic tracks like โ€œ๐๐š๐›๐ฒ ๐ˆ ๐ƒ๐จ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐‚๐š๐ซ๐žโ€, โ€œ๐ˆ ๐–๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐‹๐จ๐ฏ๐žโ€ and โ€œ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐Ž๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐Ž๐ง๐žโ€ to venues in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Proving to be their most successful year, 1989 saw the band spent 20 weeks in the Australian top 50 single charts and 25 in the top 100 album charts.

Front-woman Wendy James went on to pursue a successful solo career spanning an additional seven studio albums, including a notable collaboration with Elvis Costello. She served as a feminist symbol in the 80โ€™s for unapologetic self-expression and fearless leadership.
