In 1981 after the original Apartments split Peter formed the fairly
short lived, but remarkable "Out of Nowhere"
A split cassette recording with Pink & Blue was released in 1981,
featuring one song, "The Arrangements" which was the basis of
'End Of Some Fear' a song which appeared on the 1994
Apartments album 'A Life Full Of Farewells'.
The single which I posted earlier on this blog was released after,
these are the only recordings of this band.
"Out of Nowhere" featured a unique clarinet and saxophone,
horn section and no bass player.
One of the band's line-ups featured
Peter Milton Walsh (vocals, guitar),
Graham Hutchinson (drums), Gary Warner (saxophone)
and Tony Forde (clarinet).
Other members included Cecily Childs (keyboards),
Tony Childs (bass), Jeffrey Wegener (drums)
and Joe Borkowski (bass).
This is a wonderful track, I so wish more of this band was recorded.
However there wasn't so this is a rare gem.

Out of Nowhere - The Arrangements

Out of Nowhere
Beside the legendary Apartments, Peter Milton Walsh headed up this
Laughing Clowns inspired band that released this one vinyl single.
Out of Nowhere began in Brisbane in march 1981
and played a number of significant well received dates
prior to moving to Sydney in October 81.
While in Brisbane they released their 1st single on cassette
"The Arrangements" in conjunction with Pink and Blue.
On arrival in Sydney, they played a few dates,
added a bass player and lost a drummer.
Subsequently Jeffery Wegener guests on this recording on
Ed Kueppers , Prince Melon Lable.
I'm not sure what happened after that, according to the short bio
I just quoted from above, they were to find a new drummer
and embark on their first tour of eastern Australia in late April 82.
By 1984 Peter was playing with the laughing clowns
and recorded on the next Lp I'm blogging.
If anyone can fill in the history please do in the comments.
