Comprising former members of X-Ray-Z and Secret Police,
Popgun Menplayed in a hard-edged electro-pop vein and issued one independent
single 'Behind Dark Glasses'/'Modern Man' (February 1980). Rich and Bund also
contributed saxophone and synthesizer to The Metronomes' single 'Saturday
Night'/'Sunday Morning' (May 1980), the connection being Andrew Picoleau who
was a member of both bands.
By mid-1980 Popgun Men had transformed back into
X-Ray-Z who played the Melbourne
scene until early 1982, after which Picoleau joined Sacred Cowboys. Before
splitting X-Ray-Z recorded studio demos and live material which the Polyester
label turned into a compilation album in 1988.

Andrew Picoleau - Bass/Vocals, Errol Senol (real name Errol Selimi) - Drums.
