Big Pig were a seven-piece Australian pop/rock band that existed from
1985-1990.
Formed in London in 1985 by drummer Oleh Witer and singer Nick Disbray, at
the beginning of 1986, the two relocated to Melbourne and recruited the
line-up which would become the band that had the hit records.
In May 1986 after only five live shows in Australia, every major record
and publishing company in the country offered lucrative contracts to the
group. Mushroom Records became the band's label and their first album BONK
was recorded in Melbourne and then mixed in London in 1986-1987. The album
went gold, then platinum in Australia with three top-twenty singles
("Hungry Town", "Breakaway" and "Big Hotel").
In the U.S. "Breakaway" reached #60 on the Billboard magazine top 100 pop
charts and was used in the opening sequence of the movie Bill & Ted's
Excellent Adventure
