Where did the name come from?

A rockmelon is an Australian name for the canteloup fruit.  

It was used by Ray Medhurst in the 1970s as a silly name for an imaginary group.  

It was revived for some shows at Garibaldi's in 1980 for some musical comedy skits, featuring Ray, Jonothan, Bryon and Vince.

It was finally adopted for our first gig in 1983.
