Men at Work

Men at Work, an Australian rock band, achieved worldwide fame in the early 1980s with hits like "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?" They released their landmark album, "Business as Usual," in 1981, which spent 15 weeks at number one on the Australian charts and made a significant impact internationally. The live recording of "Down Under" by The Hindley Street Country Club is a tribute to the band's enduring legacy and showcases one of their most iconic songs, released as part of their debut album. By the time of this live performance, Men at Work had established themselves as key figures in the rock genre, pulling from their rich catalog and touching on themes of Australian culture and identity. Interestingly, "Down Under" has been celebrated not just for its catchy tune but also for its lyrics that reflect Australia's spirit, which resonates strongly in live renditions, like the one captured at Cafe Komodo in Prospect, Australia.
