Mickey Finn formed in Adelaide in 1976, evolving from the popular band Fraternity, which is best known for its association with Bon Scott and also the Levi Clefs. By late 1975, Fraternity had been renamed to Some Dream. In 1978, the band was eventually renamed as Mickey Finn, comprising of Bruce Howe (ex-Levi Clefs, Fraternity), John Eyers (ex-No Sweat, Fraternity), Mauri Berg (ex-Headband) and Joff Bateman (ex- Headband). This bluesy rock band was led by Eyres - alias 'Uncle' John Eyers and they created a large following in Adelaide's pub scene etc. By 1980, John Freeman had joined as their new drummer and a second guitarist, Stan Koritini, had also been added. It was this lineup that cut the self-titled album for the Eureka label. Mickey Finn released two singles ''So Many Lies/Baby, Please Don't Go'' and ''I'm A Man/Quick Release'' in 1980 before fading from the rock scene, although they reunited in 1990 for a brief period.
