Australian pop group
the Sherbs was formed in 1980; its previous incarnation,
Sherbet, was among the most successful Aussie bands of the 1970s, scoring a series of hits including "Child's Play," "Slipstream," "Cassandra," "Life," "Summer Love" and the chart-topping "Howzat."
The Sherbs' lineup reunited singer
Daryl Braithwaite, guitarist Harvey James, bassist Tony Mitchell, keyboardist
Garth Porter and drummer Andy Sandow, all of whom teamed in
Sherbet; following the release of their debut LP I Have the Skill, Harvey left the group, and was replaced by guitarist Tony Leigh for 1981's
Defying Gravity. After issuing the 1982 mini-LP Shaping Up, the group mounted a farewell tour under the
Sherbet banner before dissolving a year later;
Braithwaite later enjoyed a successful solo career. ~ Jason Ankeny
