CONEHEADS


Adelaide band The Coneheads were formed in the 80s. They were originally known as Zippy and The Coneheads. The initial lineup was Ted Keeley on vocals, Andrew Bunney and Richard Warldall on guitars, Nick Burton on bass and Peter Graves on drums. Their sound was a mixture of bubblegum music and Ramones punk/garage rock. They recorded on the Greasy Pop label. They released their first single which contained three tracks, ''Barn Burnin /Action / Evil Little Elmer'' in 1986 followed by ''Chewy Chewy / Skippin Skippin Skippin'' in 1987. Drummer Rachel Hannaford joined the band after their second single replacing James Braund. Their only album 'Bum' was released by Greasy Pop in 1990.

    Nice work mentioning us Kimbo. Zippy and the Coneheads originally had Tim McBeath ie "Zippy" as the singer in 1985. When he left in 1986, the band became "The Coneheads" with Ted singing, which was essentially the 2nd lineup who recorded the Barn Burning single. After that Ted and Peter left, and James came in to play drums for the next single.
