Do-Ré-Mi aka
Do-Re-Mi was a Australian rock/pop band formed in Sydney in 1981 by
Deborah Conway (lead vocals), Dorland Bray (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Helen Carter (bass, backing vocals) and Stephen Philip (guitar). They were one of Australia's most respected and successful
post-punk groups. Do-Ré-Mi recorded
self-titled EP and
The Waiting Room for independent label Green Records before signing to
Virgin Records and recording their first
LP,
Domestic Harmony in 1985 with Gavin MacKillop producing.
Domestic Harmony contained their most played song, "Man Overboard", which was a top 5 hit single in 1985. This song was notable for its lyrical references to
penis envy and
pubic hair. Do-Ré-Mi's follow-up singles and second album,
The Happiest Place in Town, produced by
Martin Rushent, had little chart success. After Conway was offered a solo deal by Virgin Records, Do-Ré-Mi disbanded in late 1988.
