It took lead singer, Steve Gilpin’s
unfortunate death to force Mi-Sex
underground for 20 years and the
simple acceptance of an invitation by
Steve Balbi, to front Mi-Sex at a private
party, and an out door
“Christchurch Quake relief Concert”
to confirm the right chemistry that
would once again ignite our passion
for "live performance" as Mi-Sex.
“Compu-PU-pu-PU-pu-PU Computer
Games”! If that chorus isn’t familiar to
you then you didn’t live through the
early 80’s.
This international hit single preceded
the glut of similar-sounding British
chart entrants by a year or more, and
became one of the defining pop-rock
songs of the Australasian music-scape.
It ascended to #1 on the Australian
charts during November ’79 and hit the
top five in New Zealand. By April 1980
‘Computer Games’ had charted in more
than 20 countries, and had peaked
inside the top ten in Canada, France,
Austria, Italy, West Germany and South
Africa.
