Formation New Zealand-born pop singer
Jon Stevens had released a solo album and several hit singles (including a duet with
Sharon O'Neill) before relocating to Sydney in 1981. After the disbanding of Noiseworks, Stevens returned to his solo career and released further albums. He later appeared as the host of the
reality TV show
The Resort. In 2000 Stevens joined
INXS, initially as a touring vocalist, but after being officially installed as a band member in October 2002 he left the band a year later. A single released by this version of the group, "
I Get Up", was released.
1999–2013: Noiseworks occasional reformations In 1999, Fraser, Nicol and Stevens reformed Noiseworks (as Noiseworks II) with Chris Becker on bass guitar and Barbara Griffin on keyboards and toured Australia. In September 2007, Noiseworks reformed, with Scott Aplin on keyboards in place of Stanley, for a national tour with
The Choirboys and Balbi's project Move Trees. In December, Stevens announced that Noiseworks planned to return to the studio in 2008 to record their first studio album together in sixteen years. In August 2022, the band released the single "Heart & Soul", their first new single in thirty years. They will perform at One Electric Day with
Suzi Quatro. On 11 November 2022, the band released
Evolution, their fourth studio and first new album in 31 years. The album debuted at number 25 on the ARIA Charts. == Discography ==
