- The Seven Ballerinas are an Australian indie rock band from the Gold Coast, Queensland, active from 1981 to 1984. They are a significant contributor to the alternative rock music scene on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney, being one of the first bands from the Gold Coast to perform original material to audiences Australia wide. Their early work received recognition by independent radio stations in Brisbane and Sydney, notably 4ZZZ and 2JJ. As their influence grew, commercial FM radio also played the Ballerinas, as evidenced by their inclusion on Triple M Brisbane's Volume 1 compilation Homegrown LP of local South East Queensland bands in 1982. The original members of the Seven Ballerinas included John Smethurst (vocals and guitar, formerly of Ratpak), Michael Palmer (guitar, formerly of The Strand), Mario Spina (bass, formerly of Ratpak), Nigel Baker (keyboards, formerly of Ratpak) and Billy Pommer Jr (drums). Nigel Baker left the band in 1981. John Hippocrates replaced Billy Pommer Jr on drums in 1981. (en)
