Artist History Richard Andrew (ex Underground Lovers and Crow), began Registered Nurse as a solo recording project, and realising his folly, persuaded various exceptionally talented local musicians to help out (try playing piano accordian without a license!). They have since joined the band and now lead normal, happy and fulfilling lives and in their few short months together as a 'band' have already gained a substantial live following, glowing reviews and national radio airplay.

Press Reviews "Brilliant new Australian music" - TNT Magazine, London UK (August 99) "A record that transcends any style or influence through beautifully crafted songs" - Beat magazine, Melbourne (July 99) "Mesmerising. Romantic, dramatic and quirky, Nick Cave meets the Clash but a little lighter and sweeter than both, this band is going to be definite one to watch." - The Melbourne Times (July 99)
