Background
Painters and Dockers formed in 1982 with Vladimir Juric (guitars, backing vocals), Andy Marron (drums), Phil Nelson (bass guitar), Chris O'Connor (guitars, backing vocals) and Paul Stewart (vocals, trumpet).[4] Their name was chosen when they played at a pub frequented by Federated Ship Painters and Dockers Union members, with no other name they adopted Painters and Dockers for the gig and kept it. By 1984, Marron had left and new members were Colin Buckler (drums), Mick Morris (saxophone) and Dave Pace (trumpet, backing vocals).[4] "Nude School" was released in June 1987 and peaked in the top 30 of the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) singles charts and was followed by "Die Yuppie Die" which reached the top 50 in September.[2] Their third studio album, Kiss My Art, was released in August 1988 on Mushroom Records' imprint White Label Records, which peaked in the top 30 of the ARIA albums charts in September.[1] The album was produced by hard rocker, Lobby Loyde,[4] except for the earlier track, "Nude School" which was produced by Francois Taviaux aka Franswah. Two further singles, "Love on Your Breath" and "Safe Sex", from the album were released but did not reach the top 50.[3]
