In 1988, 1927 was truly an Australian music phenomenon, selling more than 500,000 copies of their debut album, ...ish. This remains one of the highest selling debut albums by an Australian artist in chart history. It contained numerous hit singles and the band built a solid career around multiple sold out shows throughout Australia and the world.
Garry Frost, guitarist and keyboardist, had left Moving Pictures in 1984, after their second album, and was writing songs at his Sydney home studio in late 1986.He was watching the Nine Network's variety programme Hey Hey It's Saturday's talent segment "Red Faces" when Erik Weideman appeared and performed a cover of Police's "Roxanne”. Garry Frost drove to Melbourne, about 880 km to recruit Weideman on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards.The band became one of the most recognizable acts of its era and released several albums and further hit singles in a career that spanned 6 years.

Warner Music has announced they are re releasing a re-mastered version of ..ish to celebrate a classic Australian album and Erik still possesses one of the best voices in Australian rock music, and has wanted to get back on the road to celebrate.
All the hits will feature (“That’s When I Think Of You”, “If I Could”, “Compulsory Hero”, “You’ll Never Know”, “To Love Me”, “Scars” & “Don’t Forget Me” for starters)
