About Men at Work

Men at Work, hailing from Melbourne’s dynamic music scene, formed in 1978 as an acoustic duo by Scottish-born Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. They quickly evolved into a full band with the addition of Greg Ham on saxophone and keyboards, John Rees on bass, and Jerry Speiser on drums. This lineup crafted a distinctive new wave sound that combined catchy guitar riffs, prominent saxophone melodies, and a quirky, humorous vibe reminiscent of The Police.

Their debut album, "Business as Usual" (1982), launched Men at Work to international stardom. The album shattered records by topping the American charts for an unprecedented 15 weeks—the longest run by a debut at the time. Hit singles like "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Down Under" both reached number one in multiple countries, with "Down Under" becoming an enduring anthem and their first chart-topper in the UK. The band's innovative music videos also helped cement their presence on MTV. Their meteoric rise was recognized with the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1983.

Men at Work’s follow-up album, "Cargo" (1983), sustained their success with singles such as "Overkill" and "It’s a Mistake," both landing in the US Top Ten. However, their third album, "Two Hearts" (1985), failed to replicate this success, leading to the band’s disbandment. Although Colin Hay pursued a solo career and acting, he and Greg Ham briefly revived Men at Work in the mid-1990s for tours. Ham’s passing in 2012 marked the end of an era.

Men at Work remains a seminal force in Australian music history, revered for their blend of new wave and pop-rock that left an indelible mark on the 1980s landscape.
