Men @ Work Interview-Who Can It Be Now? MadPod.com

Biography:
Men at Work were one of the more surprising success stories of the new
wave era, rocketing out of Australia in 1982 to become the most
successful artist of the year. With its Police-styled rhythms, catchy
guitar hooks, wailing saxophones, and off-kilter sense of humor, the
band’s debut album Business as Usual became an international
blockbuster, breaking the American record for the most weeks a debut
spent at the top of the charts. Their funny, irreverent videos became
MTV favorites, helping send “Who Can It Be Now?” and “Down Under” to
number one. Men at Work’s momentum sustained them through their second
album, 1983’s Cargo, before the bottom fell out of the band’s
popularity. After releasing Two Hearts in 1985, Men at Work broke up,
becoming one of the better-remembered phenomenons of new wave.

Biography:
This legendary quintet started out in the late ’50s (curiously, by way
of Canada) and by the mid-’60s were a popular folk ensemble on
television on two continents. Their work was exuberant and boisterous,
with relatively little scholarship, and lacking a traditional sound,
spawned the ascent of groups like the Chieftains. The Irish Rovers
continue to have a devoted core following. Founding member George
Millar joins Shadoe this St. Patrick’s Day weekend from British Columbia
Canada.
