Lead singer: Bart Willoughby, rhythm guitarist and songwriter: Ricky Harrison, lead guitarist: Leslie Lovegrove Freeman (also known as Les Graham and Les Lovegrove), bass player: John Miller.
No Fixed Address formed in 1978 (but broke up in 1988) and were one of the first Aboriginal bands to be recorded.
No Fixed Address made the movie Wrong Side of the Road with another band, Us Mob. Following the release of the movie and its soundtrack album, No Fixed Address toured widely, achieving cult status in Australia and being the first Aboriginal band to get on the international circuit, paving the way for other iconic Indigenous bands such as Warumpi Band and Yothu Yindi.
We had about 60 songs in our set and we only ever recorded nine of them for an EP we released with Mushroom Records.
— Ricky Harrison, No Fixed AddressThirty years ago we were singing about Aboriginal rights and the sad thing is that the message is still the same and it's still relevant.
