CORPORATE BODY

The seed for Corporate Body began in 1979 with the Third South Moorabbin Scouts troupe. 2 brothers, Phil Bryant (17) and Paul Bryant (15), along with their friend Graeme Pescud (16) recruited singer Paul Clarke (16) and Corporate Body was born. Getting their name form flamboyant manager Bernie Higney, the band was soon playing 'Little Bands' nights at The Ballroom, run at the time by Dolores San Miguel. Dolores liked the band so much that she offered them regular gigs supporting many of the headlining bands of the day.

Corporate Body was energetic with a sharp, melodic sound and a slight political slant to their lyrics. Although they recorded a 4 track demo the band never released any records. By 1981 they had stopped playing with Paul Clarke going on to create bands such as Fifth Column and The Start, Phil Bryant joining Zorros and later Corpse Grinders, and Paul Bryant joining Odious Comparison and then later Olympic Sideburns.

Corporate Body line-up included: Paul Clarke –  Vocals/Guitar, Graeme Pescud – Guitar, Paul Bryant – Bass, Phil Bryant - Drums
