Noiseworks

Australian rock band

Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1986 with bass guitarist Steve Balbi, guitarist Stuart Fraser (died 30 November 2019), drummer Kevin Nicol, keyboardist Justin Stanley and lead vocalist Jon Stevens. They had four Australian Top 10 albums, Noiseworks - Noiseworks (No. 6, 1987), Noiseworks - Touch (No. 5, 1988), Noiseworks - Love Versus Money (No. 1, 1991) and Noiseworks - Greatest Hits (No. 4, 1992). They disbanded in 1992 but reformed for reunion tours in 1999, 2004, 2007–2008 and 2011. In 1999, Fraser, Nicol and Stevens reformed Noiseworks (as Noiseworks II) with Chris Becker on bass guitar and Barbara Griffin on keyboards and toured Australia. Noiseworks reformed in September 2007, with Scott Aplin on keyboards in place of Stanley, for a national tour. In May 2011, the original Noiseworks band members featured on the Red Hot Summer Tour of NSW.
