From the cinders of two of Australia's more important rock bands - Sydney's TAMAM SHUD and the legendary SPECTRUM from Melbourne - rose ARIEL, an eclectic art-pop group that was the child of guitarist/singer Mike RUDD [born in New Zealand] and bassist Bill PUTT. Upon the dissolution of Spectrum, songwriting partners RUDD & PUTT formed the new band consisting of Nigel MACARA(drums), John MILLS(keys), and Tim GAZE(voice, guitar) in 1973.
