Men at Work

Men at Work is an Australian rock band who achieved international success in the 1980s with their No. 1 album, Business as Usual, and the single "Down Under". The band has released three studio albums, one live album, 8 compilation albums, 2 extended plays, 1 video album, and 14 singles and have sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

The band's first album, Business As Usual, was released in 1981 along with "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?" in Australia. The album was eventually released in the US and the UK six months after its Australian release. Men at Work toured Canada and the US to promote the album, supporting Fleetwood Mac.

Men at Work won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist for 1983 and a Juno Award for "International LP of the Year".

The bands second album Cargo was released in 1982 which included the singles "Overkill", "It's a Mistake" and "Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive". The band toured the world extensively in 1983.

In 1984, their third album Two Hearts was released along with the singles "Everything I Need", "Man with Two Hearts", "Maria", and "Hard Luck Story"

In early 1986, the band went on hiatus as lead singer Colin Hay began working on his first solo album. In 1996, after a ten-year absence, Hay and Ham reunited under the Men at Work moniker to tour South America. This tour culminated in the Brazilian release of a live CD Brazil '96 in 1997. The album was subsequently released worldwide in 1998 as Brazil with a bonus studio song "The Longest Night", the first Men at Work studio track since Two Hearts.

The band toured occasionally from 1998 to 2000 including performing "Down Under" at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
