Roaring into the 80’s, they  relocated to a former HCF warehouse at 330 Kent Street, this time going simple with the name…”The Studio”.

 

There, they built three professional rehearsal rooms and a small 4-track demo studio—attracting legendary Australian acts like;

• INXS, who recorded all their demos for “Underneath the Colours”,

• Do Re Mi,

• The Church, 

• Midnight Oil

• and The Divinyls, the last of which would recruit Simon and Geoff to be their test audience.

 

It was during this era that Tim Ryan joined the team, and Simon began touring with Icehouse, signaling the start of a new chapter in Trackdown’s evolution.
