DESCRIPTION:
The Pink Finks was an Australian pop/R&B band of the mid-1960s. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the group is most notable for being the first in the series of bands that featured Ross Wilson and Ross Hannaford, which culminated in the hugely successful Daddy Cool.

Richard Franklin later became a successful feature film director; his Australian credits include The True Story of Eskimo Nell, Fantasm, Roadgames and Patrick. After moving to Hollywood he directed Psycho II, Cloak & Dagger, Link and FX2: The Deadly Art Of Illusion. In the 1990s, he returned to Australia where he directed Hotel Sorrento, Brilliant Lies and Visitors, before he died of cancer in 2007.

David Cameron graduated from NIDA and became an actor, beginning with a role in the ABC's Bellbird, in 1969 and since appeared in string of Australian TV series, miniseries and feature film appearances, including Against the Wind, Dawn!, Water under the Bridge (for which he received a Logie nomination), My First Wife and Mad Max. In 1995, he turned to directing television, commercials and corporate documentaries, including Stingers, SeaChange, Good Guys Bad Guys, State Coroner, Fergus McPhail, The Wayne Manifesto (for which he won an AFI award), Life and Dogwoman. Cameron is currently a teacher at The Australian Film & Television Academy (TAFTA).

Wilson and Hannaford moved on to notable bands such as The Party Machine, Sons of the Vegetal Mother, Daddy Cool, and Mighty Kong.

Chris Kinman returned to Brisbane in the late 1960s and turned to making guitars and in 1996 invented and patented a new kind of noiseless guitar pickup. With that event he founded a business called Kinman Guitar Electrix to commercialize his invention.

Ross Hannaford passed away from cancer in March 2016.

These two songs are demo recordings from early 1965, when the average age of the band was 15, but were not released until 1987 when they appeared as a flexi-disc with the first issue of Australian record collectors magazine 'From The Vault'. These tracks were the band's first recording, pre-dating their official debut single Louie Louie by a few months.
