OK, now that we’ve established the they are great concept, let’s play around with it a little bit. First of all, you’ll need a little background information. Here goes:! Three of them are from Australia: Steve Kilbey, Peter Koppes, and Richard Ploog. One of them’s from England: Marty Willson-Piper. Steve writes the songs, sings and plays bass; Marty and Peter play guitar; Richard is the drummer. Got that? Two guitars, bass & drums.
