Jimmy And The Boys

Band, 1976-1982 AU
Rock and Electronic

Jimmy and the Boys were an Australian shock rock and new wave band, active from 1976 to 1982. They pioneered the use of shock theatrics in Australia with an act that revolved around vocalist and contortionist Ignatius Jones (born Jaun Ignacio Trapaga) and kitsch transvestite keyboard player Joylene Thornbird Hairmouth (born William O'Riordan). The group recorded two studio albums, Not Like Everybody Else (November 1979) and Teddy Boys' Picnic (July 1981). In May 1981 they scored their only top 10 single with "They Won't Let My Girlfriend Talk to Me" – it was written by Split Enz front man Tim Finn. In 1982 soon after issuing their live album, In Hell with Your Mother, they disbanded.
