Maurice Frawley formed power pop band Japanese Comix in 1979, with vocalist Shane Day (ex-Cruisers, High Rise Bombers), bass guitarist Chris Jobson, drummer Greg Simpkins and James Williams (ex-High Rise Bombers). They played the Melbourne pub circuit and released a four-track extended play, 'Japanese Comiks' on the Mambo Records label in 1980. Simpkins was replaced by Michael Barclay but the group soon disbanded.
