The Ferris brothers of Peewee, John and Stephen, are without a doubt three of Australia’s most proficient and successful DJs. They lived in Sydney and had connections to many pop groups when in their formative years. From 1984 – 1988 eldest brother Stephen Ferris fronted Flotsam Jetsam (see individual photo). 
They had a few bright shiny singles then the bubble burst. Flotsam Jetsam enjoyed considerable support releasing five singles, some power pop 12” remixes and an EP, touring extensively throughout the country, and supporting major overseas acts A-Ha, Queen and Simply Red and New Order. The band opened for Queen in Sydney, April 1985.Singles:
1985 - 100% One Second Love
1985 – 115 BPM
1986 – Distraction #47 / Hijack To Hollywood
1986 – Show Me (from the movie “Show Me”)
1987 – Power #52
Here for download is the 12" mix of "100% One Second Love":
Hey Tom,
ReplyDeleteDo you happen to have a copy of "Distraction" you can post please. I have a vinyl copy but it's badly scratched.
Cheers

ReplyDeleteAny chance of posting the 12" version of 100% One Second Love by Flotsam Jetsam on You Tube? Would be great as its very hard to find available elsewhere.
