Men at Work are an Australian rock band that are famous for being the boys from the land "Down Under" along with their cahrt topping hit song, Who Can It Be Now!



Fronted by Colin Hay the band were unique in that they used brass and woodwind instruments. They won the grammy for best new band in 1983. They're second album Cargo also went to number one and the band took a break in 1984 due to all the excessive touring. During the break the band saw members departing to pursue other projects.

In 1996 MAW reunited with Greg Ham (flautist) and Colin Hay fronting the new band. Today Colin can be seen and heard as a solo artist and as a member of Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band as well as appearances with Ringo Starr & The Roundheads.

I like a little bit of MAW, Overkill is my favourite that Feldy just posted, and I also really enjoy "Down By The Sea":

I highly recommend MAW fans check out Colin Hay's solo material. Hooks galore, expert songwriting & his voice hasn't lost it's charm. The last five albums are especially good.

I put up a thread somewhere on the forum for Colin's solo material. He's a great songwriter too

It's "Colin Hay official thread" on the Country Music thingy.
