The Flies
In May 1965, The Flies embarked on their own six-week tour of Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania, becoming one of the first Australian beat groups to mount an extensive national tour. The Flies recorded their second single "Doing the Mod", in Sydney, which was released in June and was a hit in both there and Melbourne and became their signature song. Aside from "The Go!! Show" the band also appeared on the related ATV-0 offering, "Kommotion". This show also included local artists miming to international hits. One of the dancers / mimers on "Kommotion" was Maggie Stewart, she also danced on ABC TV's "Dig We Must" where Burns introduced himself, the couple married in 1970. Another mimer on "Kommotion" was Burns' friend Meldrum. During The Flies national tour a third single "Can't You Feel" – composed by Burns and Thomas – became a minor national hit. By this time The Flies, alongside Billy Thorpe &amp; the Aztecs, had become one of the most popular bands in the country.
