Biography
Michael Weber formed a student band, Skippy, while at secondary school with Todd McNeair and Reuben Pinkster. Weber was the founding lead guitarist of Seminal Rats, a punk rock group formed in Melbourne in 1984 by Weber on guitar, Dave Balsamo on bass guitar, Mick Harley on lead vocals, McNeair on drums and Pinkster on guitar.
During 1988, with McNeair, he was a member of a punky power pop group, Slush Puppies, alongside Shane Grubb (a.k.a Shane Rose) on bass guitar and Phil Rose on lead vocals. They released their debut single, "You're So Perfect", on the Au Go Go Records label in December of that year before disbanding soon after. Rose became a member of Nursery Crimes.
In 1990 Weber and McNeair founded a hard rock band, Hoss, with Scott Bailey on bass guitar and Joel Silbersher on guitar and lead vocals (ex-God). Hoss issued their debut album, Guzzle, in 1990 and followed with a second one, You Get Nothing (April 1992), on Au Go Go before Weber and McNeair returned to Seminal Rats.
