The Avengers
This Brisbane-based Australian combo initially plied their
wares on the club and discotheque circuit, mainly performing cover
versions of the Top 40 hits of the day. They did, however, release
two swinging pop singles for Columbia/EMI: What Price Love?
(June 1968) and Listen Listen (January 1969).
In 1969 the band were managed by former Twilights vocalist
Glenn Shorrock, while his former bandmate Terry Britten wrote The
Avengers' third single, Tweedelee Dee (May 1969). The band
broke up in September the same year with Don Lebler joining Axiom.
By the end of the year, Andy Tait had formed The New Avengers
which also included Jeff Black, Bobby Jacobson, Rick Matson and
David Briggs. John Bush replaced Briggs on guitar in 1970, but the
new line-up was short-lived.
Briggs subsequently joined Glenn Shorrock in The Little River
Band in 1976.
