Bio
1927 is an Australian pop rock band that formed in Melbourne in the mid-1980s, best known for their polished melodic sound and string of late-’80s hit singles. The group was founded by singer-songwriter Eric Weideman alongside guitarist Gary Frost, quickly gaining national attention with strong radio airplay and chart success. Their debut album …Ish (1988) became a major breakthrough, spawning iconic Australian hits such as “That’s When I Think of You,” “If I Could,” and “Compulsory Hero.” The album achieved multi-platinum sales and established the band as one of the defining acts of Australia’s late-’80s pop rock scene. 1927 followed up with The Otherside (1990) and 1927 (1992), continuing their melodic rock direction before lineup changes and shifting musical trends led to a quieter period. Eric Weideman later revived the band name with new members, and 1927 has since remained active on the Australian touring and nostalgia circuit, performing classic hits at festivals and retro lineups. Known for heartfelt lyrics, soaring choruses, and a polished production style, 1927 remains a recognisable name in Australian pop rock history.
