Systems Go!

Systems Go! was an Adelaide based band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Biography

The band released a 7" single (No More Xmas, Carol), along with a live to air recorded track (Red Light On) on the 5MMM compilation of Adelaide bands, 1980. They also released a compilation cassette (girl boy records).

Systems Go had two distinct line ups, plus an array of rotating members. They were perhaps most remembered for their song "Anticipation" (Arnold Strals) which was a 5MMM airplay staple, and co-winner of a local 'best song' award. Their use of vibraphone and found percussion objects, and an inclination for band members to change instruments during a set, were points of distinction.
