Badloves were a Melbourne band with soul in their bones. Michael Spiby started the group in 1990 as DC3, singing lead and playing guitar, and after a year they took the new name. Get on Board, their debut album on Mushroom Records, landed in July 1993 and climbed to number 5 on the ARIA albums chart, a warm, grooving R&B and soul record with a rock band's punch.
"Lost", the first single, and "Green Limousine" both came off it, and the ARIA Music Awards of 1994 piled on the honors: Best New Talent, plus Breakthrough Artist awards for both the album and "Lost". Their highest-charting single, though, was a cover, a run at the Band's 1968 single "The Weight" with Jimmy Barnes sharing lead vocals, and it went top 10. Holy Roadside followed in October 1995 and made the top 20, with Stephen O'Prey on bass among the players who passed through the lineup.
