Timeline

1954

Maurice Gerard Frawley (5 May 1954 – 16 May 2009) was an Australian rock and country blues singer-songwriter and guitarist.

Maurice Gerard Frawley was born on 5 May 1954, the son of Gerard Patrick and Eileen Marie Frawley, he grew up with three siblings, Brendan, Mary and Leo, on the family farm near Elmore, Victoria.

He attended Our Lady of the Sacred Heart School (a Catholic primary school) in Elmore, Rochester Lourdes High School in nearby Rochester and then Salesian College in Sunbury (an outer suburb of Melbourne), where he completed an agricultural studies course.

1960

Rooted in classic 1960s garage rock, their 'Oz-indie' racket made them distinct from most groups in the suburban beer barns.

1970

After working in wool sheds in rural Victoria, he moved to Melbourne in the late 1970s to pursue a musical career.

1979

Frawley formed power pop band Japanese Comix in 1979, with vocalist Shane Day (ex-Cruisers, High Rise Bombers), bass guitarist Chris Jobson, drummer Greg Simpkins and James Williams (High Rise Bombers).

1980

They played the Melbourne pub circuit and released a four-track extended play, Japanese Comix on the Mambo Records label in 1980.

Simpkins was replaced by Michael Barclay but the group soon disbanded.

As a melodic guitarist, Frawley developed a reputation as a down-to-earth, "musician's musician".

Late in 1980 he had a brief stint in A Howling Life with Day, Williams and Bill Tulloch.

The Olympic Sideburns was a collection of 1980s alternative artists.

1981

In late 1981, Frawley replaced Mick Holmes on guitar in Paul Kelly and the Dots (Kelly was ex-High Rise Bombers) after that band had recorded their second album Manila.

1982

The album's release was delayed until August 1982 due to line-up changes and Kelly being side-lined with a broken jaw.

While working with Kelly, Frawley co-wrote "Look So Fine, Feel So Low".

The band recorded "Rocking Institution" for the soundtrack of pop musical film, Starstruck.

It was released as a shared single with Jo Kennedy's "Body and Soul", which peaked at No. 5 in May 1982 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart.

1983

The Dots disbanded by August 1983 and Frawley briefly joined the Paul Kelly Band but left before year's end.

Frawley joined Olympic Sideburns late in 1983, an ever-evolving shockabilly outfit that had featured Spencer P. Jones (later in The Johnnys, The Beasts of Bourbon) which formed in 1982.

1984

Kelly relocated to Sydney in late 1984 and "Look So Fine, Feel So Low" appeared on his solo album Post (1985), it was re-recorded by Paul Kelly & the Messengers for Gossip (1986) and released as a single in July 1987, which did not reach the Top 50.

1985

The band released two albums, The Olympic Sideburns in May 1985 and Dixie Truck Stop! in 1987.

1988

They disbanded by end of 1988.

1989

1993

By 1993 he formed Maurice Frawley and Working Class Ringos, a rootsy country-blues band.

The line-up was drummer Des Hefner (The Birthday Party, The Slaughtermen), guitarist Charlie Owen (The New Christs, The Divinyls), and bass player Shane Walsh.

Cold Chisel's Don Walker described the group as "the best after-midnight band in the world".

Owen called them "the bad boys of folk" who played "the most passionate, beautiful, rollicking, cheeky, heartfelt music you could ever hear".

1994

Working Class Ringos released an extended play, Whoop Whoop, a raw, acoustic recording of soul and blues, in 1994.

1995

It was followed by their debut album Livin' Lazy (May 1995), a more electric album which featured Jones and was produced by Tony Cohen.

1998

In 1998 Conway Savage (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) joined on piano.

2000

For thirteen years the band played the Melbourne pub circuit, establishing a base at The Esplanade Hotel in St Kilda.

In 2000 the band's track "Harness Down" was included on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Airplay Vol. 3 compilation, which was featured on local radio.

"Harness Down" became a favourite of its audience.

The band made several tours through the east coast up to Far North Queensland.

Frawley and his band performed live sessions in 2000 on the ABC TV's national music program Studio 22 and in 2001 on the cable channel Country Music Television.
