The Pyramidiacs was formed at the end of the 1980s with Eddie Owen on guitar, Phil Byrne on vocals and guitar, Mick Baty on drums and Mick's brother Steve on bass. Steve didn't stay long and was replaced by Kendall James. After a few party gigs Baty pulled the pin and was replaced by Luke Owen. They went into hiatus for a while and then reformed with Bob Susnjara on bass and Baty returning.
Based in the Sydney suburb of Fairfield, Australia, they took upon a musical idolization for the Replacements, Teenage Fanclub, Big Star and Matthew Sweet. In 1990 they entered a band competition held at Eddie's Uni. By winning first prize they had a enough money to cut a single ''Can't Keep A Hold Of You'' released by Zero Hour. It did surprisingly well reaching #11 on the alternative charts. Soon after Byrne departed and was replaced by guitarist Mick ''Funter'' O'Regan.
The Pyramidiacs would eventually release a slew of singles and compilation tracks before their 1993 full-length debut, 'Don't Wish It'. The following year saw the Pyramidiacs' second album, 'All You Want', released through Pink Flamingo Records before their 1995 European tour. The group's third album, 'Teeter Totter', came out in 1996 courtesy of Ranezz Records. Their last album 'Nobody's Fool' was released in 2001.
