Administrative / Biographical history

The ARIA-award winning group is considered one of Queensland's iconic bands of the 1990s. Formed in 1996 to enter a university music competition, George comprised Katie Noonan on vocals and keyboards, her brother Tyrone Noonan on vocals, guitar and keyboards, Geoff Green on drums and percussion, Paulie Bromley on bass guitar and Nick Stewart on acoustic and electric guitar. Geoff Hooton, a bass guitar player, left the band in early 2000. The band released a series of independent EPs between 1998 and 2000, earned airplay on Triple J radio and community radio stations across Australia, and gained a strong live following across the country, before signing with Festival Mushroom Records in mid-2001. Single releases and touring followed. The band's first album, Polyserena, debuted at No. 1 on the national album charts in its first week. George became only the tenth Australian band to do this with a debut album. Polyserena was certified double platinum and spent 36 weeks in the top 50.
