Outline were formed in 1979 in Sydney by Mark Azzopardi on drums, Harry Ladamatos on bass guitar, Alex Lakajev on keyboards, Mike Mead on trombone and vocals, Phil Rigger on lead vocals and trumpet (ex-Skintight) and John Sammers on guitar and vocals.

Initially the group performed jazz, rock cover versions and Frank Zappa-themed works before adopting contemporary new wave material.

During 1981 Outline issued three singles, “The Cicada (That Ate Five Dock)” (April), “How Can I Get Out of Here?” (August) and “Maybe It’s a Game” (October). The former was written by Sammers.

Also in October they supported visiting English rock band Gillan on the Australian leg of Future Shock’s promotional tour. Both “The Cicada (That Ate Five Dock)” and “Maybe It’s a Game” were broadcast on ABC-TV’s pop music show, Countdown.
