Hidden Treasures #1 : Shy Impostors - At The Barrier

Short-lived Sydney band who released one 7" for the Phantom Records (established by Dare Jennings and Jules Normington in 1979) label in 1980. In late 1979, Normington and Jennings had the idea for the Phantom label when they realised they were surrounded by talented mmusicians who were unsigned. Their girlfriends Penny Ward and Julie Mostyn, respectively, were lead singers in bands: Shy Impostors (were about to record) and The Flaming Hands (had already recorded tracks), as had their friends The Passengers. Post-Radio Birdman band The Visitors had an album's worth of material recorded before their final gig in August 1979.Shy Impostors dissolved shortly after their recording sessions were completed in early 1980. Guitarist Richard Burgman and bassist Peter Oxley then teamed with drummer Bil Bilson and Oxley’s talented kid brother Jeremy on guitar and vocals to form the Sunnyboys.
The single paired the strong "At The Barrier" with "Seeing Double"
