Freaked Out Flower Children were an Australian band which formed in 1991 with actress and TV presenter, Sophie Lee, on saxophone and vocals.[1] Other members were Gumpy Phillips (ex-Battle Happy, Mighty Big Crime) on guitar and vocals; Tricky J (Mighty Big Crime) on synthesiser; Fiona Ruttelle on backing vocals; and Nicole Love on backing vocals.[1] They played 1960s-style flower power music. Their debut single "Spill the Wine" – a cover version of Eric Burdon and War's 1970 hit – reached No. 31 on the ARIA Singles Chart in 1992.[2] In December 1991 the group issued their debut album, Love In, on Virgin Records, which was "full of syncopated beats and breezy melodies".[1] A second single, "Beautiful People" was issued. However the group's "retro-cabaret and day-glo focus ... did little to foster a sense of longevity" they disbanded in 1993.[1]
