About Vince Melouney

Australian guitarist Vince Melouney was a member of The Bee Gees during the band's initial wave of worldwide popularity from 1967 to 1969.

In 1964, Vince had his first Australian number one hit with Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs and their version of "Poison Ivy.”

In 1966, Vince released several classic singles in Australia, now available on "This Is The Vince Maloney Sect."

Between 1967 and 1969, the five-piece Bee Gees (Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, Maurice Gibb, Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen) were immensely successful, releasing nine international Top 5 singles and five Top 10 albums, performing concerts throughout the UK, Europe and the USA and appearing on numerous TV shows, including "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the US, "Top Of The Pops" in the UK and "Beat Club" in Germany. The band broke up in 1969 with the Gibb brothers reforming as a trio in 1970. Vince appears in the 2020 documentary “The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart,” in newly filmed interview segments and archival footage.

Vince went on to form the fondly-remembered rock band Fanny Adams with fellow Australian Doug Parkinson. Vince's recent releases are "Women" (released in 2020,) followed by "Ring My Bell" (a collaboration between Strangers In A Strange Land and Vince released in 2021.) Both tracks were produced by Shel Talmy (The Who, The Kinks, David Bowie) and received substantial radio play.

Vince’s latest project is Tall Poppy Syndrome, a new group where he’s joined by Clem Burke, the renowned drummer of Rock And Roll Hall-Of-Famers Blondie; guitarist Jonathan Lea of the critically-acclaimed Art Pop group The Jigsaw Seen and singer Paul Kopf and bassist Alec Palao of Strangers In A Strange Land and the current version of influential Garage Rock band The Seeds.
