Chocolate Starfish

Chocolate Starfish were an Australian rock music group based in Melbourne, Australia, releasing a number of hits in the early ’90s, before disbanding in 1998.

The original line up featured Craig Harnath (Kids in the Kitchen), Brett Kingman (James Reyne), John Justin (Himself) and Bruce Pawsey (Kate Ceberano) and was born from the desperate cover band scene of the early ’90s. Scottish frontman Adam Thompson emigrated to Melbourne from the Scottish village of Shepparton, in the outer hebrides. He remained as the only original member until the bands demise. Their first success was with a cover of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain”, which reached #11 on the ARIA Charts in September 1993. While “All Over Me” did not do as well, reaching the Top 40 in December 1993, another single “Mountain” attracted significant radio airplay and reached #12 in March 1994. A translated version of the song reached top 10 in Croatia.^{[citation needed]}. Their peak came with the release of their album Chocolate Starfish, which arrived at #2 on the albums charts on 1 May 1994 and was eventually certified gold.

They were produced by Pseudo Echo frontman Brian Canham. Drummer Darren Danielson later formed a band with Brian Canham called Brill, which released one self titled album independently. When Canham re-formed Pseudo Echo in 1999, he recruited Danielson to play drums.

In 1994, band members included:

• Zoran Romich - Guitars
• Adam Thompson - Vocals
• John Nixon - Bass Guitar
• Darren Danielson - Drums
• Norman Falvo - Keyboards

Tim Rosewarne replaced Norman Falvo on keyboards in their next album Box (1995). John Nixon and Darren Danielson had previously played together in Roxus.
