I'm pretty sure The Joysticks were from Australia. Members: Steve Agar, (Guitar) and Bill Leggett, (Vocals) may have previously been in a early 80's Melbourne band, The Shindiggers, I couldn't find anything on Mike Cronin, (Bass) or Grant Cleland (Drums) anyone ??.

Yes Bill and Steve were from the Shindiggers but the drummer was actually Rod the Boss McMurrich who became a Shindigger later. It was a power pop song that they recorded for fun when the Shindiggers were having a fight and not talking to each other.
I think you are both right about the 2 drummers being in the Joysticks (Melbourne band)
It seems Mike Cronin & Grant Cleland
were only in this band but
Rod McMurrick AKA Rodney Modney was also in END RESULT (83-84); GAS BABIES (85);LSD (85) ; JOYSTICKS ; FUNHOUSE(?)& SUNSET STRIP 89
Steve Agar
was in shindiggers (85) ; LSD (85) ; JOYSTICKS (86); FORBIDDEN PLANET (90)
Bill Leggett AKA Bill Sax
was in shindiggers (85) ; LSD (85); joysticks (87)
other shindiggers were Peter Andrews (guitar)& Spud Wildman AKA Steve Andrews (drums)
Excellent,I thought so, thanks for all the info guys, did they have any other records?
I think this was their only release
Thanks Bruce, I thought so.
The settled Joysticks line up (1988 to 1989) consisted of Bill Leggett (Vocals), Steve Agar (Lead Guitar, Matt Davis (Bass), Scott (Rhythm Guitar) and the legendary Kaos on Drums. Two significant recordings of six songs failed to get officially released but live on, salvaged from ageing tapes as mp3s. During this time the Joysticks were very active around Melbourne with gigs at the Prince of Wales, Palace, Old Greek Theatre, Tote and more.
Hi Matt, thanks for the info.
