    Bombers: Canadian or Australian group ?

    Hello everybody,


    Just a doubt: Bombers were a Canadian or Australian group? I believe Canadian...

    Formed in Australia !

    The Bombers were a late-'70s funk group who scored an R&B singles chart entry in 1979 with "(Everybody) Get Dancin'."

    Unfortunately I don't remember any appearance of this group in TV... Any ideas if did they appear in TV ?
    Any available clips of them ?

    Marco, they are from Canada....

    On West End Records... they did hit the R&B American Charts... with one song, but I have never seen what they look like. I thought I had a compilation of them but I know for sure that they will appear on West Ends greatest hits package... You will enjoy their website also...

    Weren't some main members from the Bombers also in a group called Supermax? I have a coulpe of LP's by them, which are in the main pretty **** but they do a version of "Dance Dance Dance" by the Bombers, which ain't bad. I'm sure the Bombers also did a track called Supermax too. I always thought the bombers were German or Austrian, but maybe based in Canada.
    Leather is the way forward!

    Here's the info on Supermax...

    There must be some connection to the Bombers and I would imagine it was a situation as with Kebekelekrik changing producers. The musicians and recording locations on Supermax are different than the Bombers.

    To make matters more complicated I have a 12" from a group called Supercharge with a song called "I Think I'm Going To Fall (In Love)" which is Bob-a-rela's "Why Does it Rain" with different words produced by RJ Lange (I presume a German). It's possible that producers George Lagios and Pat Desario had relationships with other producers/writers to share material.

    More info greatly appreciated.
