Ex members of Adelaide band Parachute (Bob Kretschmer, Graeme Perry and Rick Grossman) joined forces with Eric Gradman (ex-Bleeding Hearts) and Mick Holmes to form Man and Machine in 1978. Their first single was ''Crime Of Passion'' released on the Missing Link label in 1979 followed by ''The Bath'' in the same year. They gigged at The Crystal Ballroom in St.Kilda, best known for its association of Melbourne's post-punk movement. After just two years they called it a day in 1980. Grossman went on to play with The Divinyls and The Hoodoo Gurus and Bob Kretschmer turned up in Icehouse. In 2011 Aztecs Records released Eric Gradman Man and Machine's entire recorded output which also consisted of nine previously unreleased tracks originally recorded as demos for the Deluxe label and a previously unreleased track from the post-EGMAM band.
