Chocolate Starfish

Chocolate Starfish were an Australian rock music group based in Melbourne, Australia, who released a number of hits in the early 1990s, before disbanding in 1998.

The original line up featured Craig Harnath (Kids in the Kitchen), Brett Kingman (James Reyne), John Justin (Himself) and Bruce Pawsey (Kate Ceberano) and was created in the early 1990s. Frontman, Adam Thompson moved to Melbourne from Tallygaroopna, near Shepparton, Victoria. He remained as the only original member until the band's demise.

Their first success was with a cover of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain", which reached #11 on the ARIA Charts in September 1993. While "All Over Me" did not do as well, reaching the Top 40 in December 1993, another single "Mountain" attracted significant radio airplay and reached #12 in March 1994. A translated version of the song ("Brane srušit ću sve " by "Prljavo kazalište" ) reached top 10 in Croatia.. Their peak came with the release of their album Chocolate Starfish, which reached #2 on the albums chart on 1 May 1994, and was eventually certified gold.

They were produced by Pseudo Echo frontman Brian Canham. Drummer Darren Danielson later formed a band with Canham called Brill, which released one self titled album independently. When Canham re-formed Pseudo Echo in 1999, he recruited Danielson to play drums.

In 1994, band members included:

• Zoran Romich - Guitars
• Adam Thompson - Vocals
• John Nixon - Bass Guitar
• Darren Danielson - Drums
• Norman Falvo - Keyboards

Falvo left at the end of 1994 and Tim Rosewarne replaced him on keyboards for the next album Box (1995). John Nixon and Darren Danielson had previously played together in Roxus.

In 2011, Chocolate Starfish announced they were reforming to continue performing together and work on new studio material. However, on 31 March 2012, their former guitarist Zoran Romich died of cancer.
