Taking its cheeky name from an early Ultravox track, Mi-Sex also followed that act’s lead with striking synth-pop that’s equal parts catchy and considered. Relocating from Wellington to Sydney soon after forming in 1978, the band topped the Australian charts the next year with its signature hit, “Computer Games.” The song paired Steve Gilpin’s yelping vocals with a burnished synth hook and streamlined rock instrumentation, a combination that would serve Mi-Sex well in the years to come. Gilpin tapped into his scenery-chewing cabaret background on 1980’s “People,” while 1981’s Cars-esque “Missing Person” found him more restrained but just as debonair. After teaming up with top US producer Bob Clearmountain for 1983’s Where Do They Go?—note the newfound sincerity in the power ballad “Blue Day”—Mi-Sex embarked upon a hiatus, only for Gilpin to die in 1992 following a car accident. Noiseworks’ Steve Balbi stepped in as lead singer when the band reconvened in the 2010s, releasing the winking anthem “My Sex Your Sex” and the more rock-driven album Not from Here in 2016.
