Olympic Sideburns were an Australian shockabilly band formed in late 1982. The line-up of Paul Bryant on bass guitar, Peter "Jex" Byron on lead vocals, Maurice Frawley on lead guitar and vocals, Ian Hill on keyboards and Maurice Molletta on drums issued their debut album, The Olympic Sideburns (1985). Calum McAlpine on drums had joined in late 1985 and the group released their second album, Dixie Truck Stop! (1987), before disbanding in 1988. Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane compared their two albums, the latter has "more authentic Rolling Stones/Creedence Clearwater Revival sound as opposed to the previous punk/psychedelic/shockabilly hybrid" of the former.[1] Maurice Frawley died in 2009 and founding guitarist Spencer P. Jones died in 2018.
