Greg Brady Overdrive
Alex (I don't know his last name) bore an uncanny resemblance to Greg Brady from the TV show "the Brady Bunch". His whole life he had been teased with Greg Brady taunts so when he grew up he decided to cash in on it....and as singer of the GBO....cash in he did!!!!!!
G.B.O. were on the Sydney music scene for around 5 years from about 1990 with a constantly changing line up. The group took great rock songs (ala smoke on the water, whole lotta love) and changed the words to fit the Brady theme ie whole lotta Brady…., trashy chart busters (Samantha Fox’s Touch me, Bros’s when will I be famous) and punked them up rewriting the lyrics into sexual themes and crap top ten partysongs like My Sharona and totally destroying them.

The group also featured Al Scott from Zen Studios firebreathing into the audience on onto alex’s crotch (on one occasion he caught fire and ran around the stage until it went out…….we caught this on video tape!!!!!!!!)

Both Simon and Sabina (bass from Vanilla Chainsaws) played in GBO for about 8 months in 1993. November 1998 saw GBO reunite with Sabby back on Bass.
Other Members included:
Brendon drums from Downtime
