  • Hunters & Collectors were an Australian rock music band formed in Melbourne in 1981, fronted by singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Seymour, they developed a blend of pub rock and art-funk. Other mainstays were John Archer on bass guitar, Doug Falconer on drums and percussion, Jack Howard on trumpet and keyboards, Jeremy Smith on French horn, guitars and keyboards, and Michael Waters on trombone and keyboards. Also acknowledged as a mainstay member was engineer and art designer Robert Miles. Joining in 1988, Barry Palmer, on lead guitar, remained until they disbanded in 1998. Their hit singles were "Throw Your Arms Around Me", "Talking to a Stranger", "Holy Grail", "True Tears of Joy" and "Say Goodbye", and they became one of the best live acts in Australia. Originally Hunters & Collectors were influenced by the Krautrock genre and the productions of Conny Plank, featuring strong percussive influences, noisy guitar, and driving bass lines. The sound was in the vein of Remain in Light, the Talking Heads album of 1980. The band's name is from "Hunters and Collectors", a track by German group Can, on the 1975 album Landed. Hunters & Collectors utilised Plank to produce two of their early albums, The Fireman's Curse and The Jaws of Life, but neither charted into the Top 50 of the Australian albums chart on the Kent Music Report. Their Top 10 albums started with Human Frailty in 1986, which first featured their distinctive logo, a H & C symbol, where the "&" was twin snakes entwined around a hunting knife, a variation of the Caduceus. Other Top 10 studio albums were Ghost Nation in 1989, Cut in 1992 and Demon Flower in 1994.
  • Hunters and Collectors is een Australische band met leadzanger Mark Seymour, de broer van Crowded House bassist Nick Seymour. De groep had een hit met Throw Your Arms Around Me. De band werd in 1980 gevormd in Melbourne, en zwaaide in 1998 af met een laatste tour. Ze stonden bekend als een van de beste live acts van hun tijd. De band stond onder contract bij Mushroom Records, en hun eerste single, Talking to a stranger kreeg veel bekendheid in Australië door de bijbehorende videoclip. Na een korte periode waarin de band uit elkaar viel werd in 1984 een keyboard en een kopersectie aan de band toegevoegd, en dit, gecombineerd met veel toeren, bleek een recept voor succes en een grote schare loyale fans volgde de band. Het album Human Frailty bracht ze ook commercieel succes, met de single Throw your arms around me. Dit nummer is later ook live ten gehore gebracht door onder andere Crowded House en Pearl Jam. De band heeft ook een aantal optredens in Nederland gedaan (o.a. in 1994), maar heeft nooit een grote doorbraak gemaakt. De band had enkele personeelswisselingen, echter hierna een lijst met de "gebruikelijke" setup (laatste 10 jaar): Mark Seymour - zang, teksten, gitaar (1981-1998) John Archer - bas (1981-1998) Doug Falconer - drums (1981-1998) Jack Howard - trompet, keyboard (1981-1998) Barry Palmer - lead gitaar (1988-1998) Jeremy Smith - hoorn, gitaar, keyboard(1981-1998) Michael Waters - trombone, keyboard (1981-1998)

  • Hunters & Collectors — австралийская рок-группа, образованная в Мельбурне в 1981 году вокалистом, гитаристом и автором Марком Сеймуром (Mark Seymour) и исполнявшая смесь паб-рока, арт-фанка и краутрока. Само свое название Hunters & Collectors заимствовали у одноименной песни Can (из альбома Landed 1975 года). Два первых альбома группы записал продюсер Конни Планк. В первом составе с Сеймуром также играли Джон Арчер (John Archer, бас-гитара), Дуг Фальконер (Doug Falconer, ударные), Джек Ховард (Jack Howard, клавишные и духовые), Джереми Смит (Jeremy Smith, валторна, гитара и клавишные), Майкл Уотерс (Michael Waters, тромбон, клавишные). В 1988 году к H&C присоединился гитарист Барри Палмер (Barry Palmer), остававшийся постоянным участником группы вплоть до её распада в 1998 году. В австралийский Top 10 входили альбомы Hunters & Collectors Human Frailty (1986), Ghost Nation (1989), Cut (1992) и Demon Flower (1994), а также синглы: «Throw Your Arms Around Me», «Talking to a Stranger», «Holy Grail», «True Tears of Joy» and «Say Goodbye». H&C, кроме того, зарекомендовали себя одной из лучших концертных групп страны. В мае 2001 года APRA (Australasian Performing Right Association) составила список 30 лучших австралийских песен всех времен, включив туда «Throw Your Arms Around Me». 14 июля 2005 года Hunters & Collectors были введены в Зал славы Австралийской звукозаписывающей ассоциации (ARIA).

  • The boys and myself are excited to be honoured in this way by the Australian music industry. This is a unique gesture of recognition for the work that Hunters and Collectors did, and it will be a rare opportunity for the band to be re-united under very auspicious circumstances.
