Paul Christie is the bass guitarist for Australian rock group Mondo Rock, he left the band in 1982 rejoining in 2003. He put together the first line-up of The Party Boys in Sydney with fellow The Party Boys founding member and guitarists Kevin Borich as Christie had extensively toured the USA playing bass guitar with Borich from 1978 to 1979 as a member of Kevin Borich Express, along with Harvey James (Mississippi, Ariel, Sherbet), and drummer Graham "Buzz" Bidstrup, who had recently left The Angels. Australian Crawl vocalist James Reyne was in Sydney shooting the TV mini-series "Return to Eden" and agreed to play some shows between filming. The band did a short run of shows performing cover songs chosen by various members. Recordings made of these gigs became the basis for the group's album "Live at Several 21sts". When Reyne's filming schedule was over, he returned to his work with Australian Crawl in Melbourne and left the band. In March 1983, the album reached No. 9 on the Australian Kent Music Report Albums Chart and spawned the single, "Bitch" – a cover of The Rolling Stones' album track from 1971's "Sticky Fingers". Christie, Borich and James were encouraged to continue with the project.
