MPD Limited...The Wild Side of Life


MPD Ltd, formed in 1965, were Mike Brady, Pete Watson and Danny Finley, a Melbourne beat trio driven by a heavy rhythm section. Mike and Pete had met in Shadows-style band The Phantoms, and Danny had drummed with another instrumental band The Saxons. Mike Brady later wrote many well-known jingles, and as one half of Two Man Band had a hit with the football song "Up There Cazaly" (1979).

They had several hits between 1965 and 1967 including "Little Boy Sad", "Lonely Boy" and "Paper Doll".
