Burning The Ground Exclusive 1989
“Cars & Planes” was the fourth single taken from the third and final album “Uptown” by Australian synthpop band Machinations. “Cars & Planes” failed to chart while the album reached #50 on the ARIA Charts the main Australian music sales chart.
The group had become a popular band on the Australian touring circuit. Their activities were curtailed in April 1989 when a hit-and-run car accident left bandmate Fred Loneragan with a broken neck, multiple cuts, bruises, and concussion. He spent several months recuperating in the hospital. Initially, fellow band members intended to continue whilst Loneragan recovered, however, the group disbanded as various members left to join other local groups.
