Timeline

1956

Mark Jeremy Seymour (born 26 July 1956) is an Australian musician and vocalist.

Mark Jeremy Seymour was born on 26 July 1956 in Benalla to Frank and Paula Seymour.

1958

He has two older sisters, Hilary and Helen, and a younger brother, Nick (born 1958) – later bass guitarist for Crowded House.

His mother encouraged all four children to learn musical instruments and sing.

He initially learned piano but switched to guitar as a teenager.

1972

Seymour and his family moved to Melbourne in 1972.

1978

He graduated from University of Melbourne in 1978 and was qualified to teach.

He later lived in the St Kilda area.

1980

By 1980 Seymour, on lead guitar, was a member of The Jetsonnes, a post-punk pop group formed in Melbourne, with John Archer on bass guitar; Doug Falconer on drums; Margot O'Neill on lead vocals; and Ray Tosti-Gueira on guitar.

Clinton Walker described the group as "lighter, bouncier (rather than funkier) and more infectious than other like-minded bands such as Models".

In June 1980, record label Missing Link issued a double A-sided single "Newspaper" by the Jetsonnes and "Miniskirts in Moscow" by International Exiles.

The Jetsonnes, Models, and International Exiles were "the first bands to rise out of Melbourne's hothouse punk, new wave explosion playing an exuberant brand of neo-pop".

1981

He was the frontman and songwriter of rock band Hunters & Collectors from 1981 until 1998.

In 1981, Seymour formed Hunters & Collectors from the remnants of The Jetsonnes with Archer, Falconer, and Tosti-Gueira.

According to musicologist, Ian McFarlane, this was "a far more radical and unremitting concept" and Seymour, with his "blue labourer's singlet, bulging biceps, introspective angst and impassioned vocals" became the "thinking woman's sex symbol".

Between 1981 and 1998, The Hunters and Collectors released nine studio albums, and were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2005.

1985

It was recorded live at Melbourne's Bakehouse Studios and featured 24 tracks from Seymour's back catalogue, stretching back to 1985, reinterpreted by The Undertow.

Seymour wrote the Hunters and Collector's song "Holy Grail", which although not intended to be about sport, has been widely used in television broadcasts of Australian Football League matches, especially the AFL Grand Final.

1995

Seymour has performed at several AFL Grand Finals.
