Perfect Strangers (Australian band)

I was going to put this in my thread about aussie bands, but I feel these guys need one of their own.

There are apparently several bands named Perfect Strangers, but I'm referring to this band from Perth. They were up and coming and had loads of potential, yet things came to a screeching halt in 1988, when their enigmatic lead singer, Andy Clayton-Smith passed away. Has anyone on this site heard of them? Here's a video clip. Also looking for some of their b-sides.

Over 20? Doesn't surprise me lol.

Yea, they had a cassette comp. released shortly after Andy's passing, seems quite rare. They appeared on countdown all the way back in '82 with a song called "A Question Of Love"

Can you please unstick this and The Mockers thread? Annoying AF, TBH.

Nice Music. Sounds a bit like Haircut 100.
