THE STOCKINGS

Perth new wave band from 1979-1982 who started life as Rip Torn and The Stockings. Dropping the Rip Torn from their band name, The Stockings were first heard on record when they released a five track EP on Sweetcorn Studios. Vocalist Rip Torn [Bernie Lynch] left in 1980 to form The Eurogliders. Now as a four piece they signed to Rough Diamond where they recorded a few singles, an EP and an album 'Red Tango' (which peaked at #93 on the Australian charts in 1981) that were all produced by Little River Band's David Briggs.
