In 1989, with an expanded line-up, they changed their name. Girl Overboard released two albums: Paint a Picture (March 1990), which reached number 18 on the ARIA Albums Charts, and Go in 1993. Their highest charting singles are "I Can't Believe" (No. 43, December 1989) and "The Love We Make" (No. 23, March 1990). The group split up in late 1993. BiographyIn 1983, future member of Girl Overboard, Lisa Schouw (from New Zealand) joined as a vocalist for a Melbourne band, Pointz, where she worked alongside Robin Gist on guitar. Over two years they changed their name to Short Story, played around the town, and started negotiating a publishing and recording deal with Wheatley Records. However, the band fell apart before being signed. Schouw returned to New Zealand for six months, and returned to Australia to meet Gist and write songs. After auditioning various players they settled on keyboard player, Brett McNaughton, and together the three formed Separate Tables in 1985, initially using a drum machine.[1][2] Separate Tables' line-up was augmented by Lee Davidson on drums, Dean Hilson on saxophone and Jenny Milroy on backing vocals and percussion.[1] They released an independent single, "Long Dark Night" backed with "Wrap Your Arms Around Me". After a year the band secured a recording deal with RCA/BMG and were asupport act for John Farnham's Jack's Back Tour.[1] They had a management contract with the Neil Clugston Organisation. Separate Tables promoted their single, "When the Word Came Down" (December 1987), by playing entertainment centres, concert halls and pubs around Australia. Their next single "Change My Sex" (May 1988) was largely ignored by radio. John Favaro joined on bass guitar and another single, "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" (March 1989), was released. The band began recording their debut album, Paint a Picture (March 1990), with producer Ross Fraser at Metropolis Studios in Melbourne. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1989 Fraser won Producer of the Year for his work on "When the Word Came Down" by Separate Tables, Farnham's Age of Reason and the State's "Real Love".[3] At the same ceremony Doug Brady won Engineer of the Year for his work on "Change My Sex" and "When the Word Came Down" by Separate Tables and additional works for other artists.[3] The name changed to Girl Overboard with the release of the next single, "I Can't Believe" (December 1989). Schouw explained to The Canberra Times Kathryn Whitfield, why they changed, "We were playing pubs and were making a lot more noise and the name didn't describe the band, we are more emotional more energetic than that, so we became Girl Overboard."[2] Whitfield observed, "Schouw, Gist and McNaughton have worked together on all the band's songs and though they all lean personally toward different musical styles they seem to reach perfect accord on the band's style."[2] "I Can't Believe" was nominated for Breakthrough Artist – Single at ARIA Music Awards of 1990.[4] A subsequent single, "The Love We Make" (March 1990), peaked at No. 23 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[10] They toured Australia to promote Paint a Picture, which reached No. 18 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[1][10] According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, "[their] sound was a safe mix of dance pop, light jazz and American-styled hard rock."[1] They followed with a trip to United States and United Kingdom in 1991 to write new material, and "meet with song publishers and our record company."[5] Fraser won another ARIA Award for his production work for Girl Overboard (and other artists) in 1991.[6] The band's second album, Go (1993), was recorded with producer, Charles Fisher, who provided an overall sense of cohesion while new drummer, Tony Day, had replaced Davidson. It provided the singles, "Chain of Fools", "Your Love", and "Jackie". Go and its singles were less successful on the charts and some band members became disillusioned. McFarlane felt, "[they] offered lushly textured pop with Schouw's rich contralto well to the fore."[1] The band broke up late in 1993.[7] Members
