Biography

Kelly started his career in 1977 in Spred, later called Teenage Radio Stars, alongside James Freud who would later join him in Models. After the demise of Teenage Radio Stars Kelly and fellow band member Pierre Voltaire (Peter Sutcliffe) joined with former JAB members Janis Friedenfelds (Johnny Crash) and Ash Wednesday to form Models. The Models continued, with many line up changes, until 1988.

Kelly released a solo single "Thankyou Goodnight" in 1989 and formed Absent Friends with his partner Wendy Matthews and Garry Gary Beers. After a top ten album, Here's Looking Up Your Address (#7), a top ten single, "I Don't Wanna Be With Nobody But You" (#4), and an ARIA award the band broke up in 1990. Kelly provided guitar on Matthews' debut solo album, Émigré (November 1990).

Sean Kelly and The Iron Dukes were formed in 1990, becoming The Dukes soon after. After releasing the ARIA nominated album Harbour City the band broke up in 1993.

Since then Kelly has played with Interchange Bench (1993–1998) with Andrew Duffield, Billy Miller, Ken Firth and Cal McCalpine; and also with Astrid Munday and Dystopia (1996–1999), together with Astrid Munday (vocals), Stephen Moffat (guitar), Tim Cleaver (bass), Shamus Goble (drums), Rosie Westbrook (bass) and Craig Williamson (drums). Kelly toured with a reformed Models in 2000 and 2001 before releasing his first solo album Moons Of Jupiter in 2006.
