MANIKINS

Formed in August 1976 as the Cheap Nasties and lay claim to the title of Perth’s first punk band. The original Cheap Nasties lineup was Kim Salmon (guitar/vocals), Neil Fernandes (guitar/vocals), Ken Seymour (bass/vocals) and Mark Betts (drums).

Salmon left the Cheap Nasties in December 1977, to form The Scientists and then recruited Robbie Porritt as lead vocalist and changedtheir name to The Manikins. The raw punk sound of the Cheap Nasties gradually gave way to a poppier, new wave-oriented musical direction.

The Manikins released two singles and a cassette only album between 1979 and 1980. After relocating to Melbourne, they broke up soon afterwards.

Later in the mid 80?s the drummer registered the Manikins name and formed a new version of the band with a female vocalist and released new romantic style music.
