Childsplay was formed in 1987 in Adelaide. The founding members were Neil Lowe and Amanda Lowe (nee Lyas) who are still active today, writing and recording originals with a rock influence. In 1993, a new line up saw Neil and Amanda join forces with Julie Candido (nee Beltrame) and later down the track - Rino Cufone and Paul Gatt. That line-up has remained in force since then, with the band members all remaining very close friends and musical collaborators. Picture shows Neil Lowe (back/middle); Rino Cufone (back/left); Aaron Bampton (back/right); Julie Candido (front/left) and Amanda (Mandi) Lowe (front/right). Childsplay played cover songs between 1987 and 1995, then became an originals/cover band. As of 2015, the band still play from time to time. [From adelaidemusic.wikia.com/wiki/Childsplay].
