Sindrey was born in Richmond, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia but grew up in Camberwell.

The Caribs also had their own release on Island, "Taboo".

Most of these recordings were made after hours at the studios of radio station RJR engineered by Graeme Goodall.

Also in 1959, Ken Khoury employed The Caribs to be the studio band at his new studio, Federal Records (now known as Tuff Gong).
