Ep 8: Indecent Obsession with David Dixon
Listen now
Description
In 1989, four young, energetic performers crashed onto the Australian chart with their debut single, "Say Goodbye" — an instantly catchy piece of synthpop that took them into the top 10. One of the first signings to Molly Meldrum's Melodian Records, Indecent Obsession had the good looks that saw them regularly in the pages of Smash Hits and the killer hooks that made for some great pop tunes. But even though their second single, "Tell Me Something", was another hit in Australia and broke internationally, the band struggled to be accepted by the rock-obsessed local music industry and to gain radio support. The band's original lead singer David Dixon talks about Indecent Obsession's initial success in all corners of the globe, the disastrous front cover of debut album Spoken Words, the disappointing performance of big ballad "Come Back To Me" and the process of recording second album Indio. He also reveals why he left the band in 1993 and explains what became of his short-lived solo career.
