High Rise Bombers

Paul Kelly (2) formed his first band with Martin Armiger, the Bleeding Hearts (2)’ guitarist, the High Rise Bombers. (1977-1978) The High Rise Bombers featured a floating line-up of Carlton (Melbourne) alumni that included three guitars, up to five horns and one too many leaders. Told they were destined to be big, Kelly is said to have retorted: “We can’t get much bigger – there’s already eight of us.”
