Mondo Rock are reforming for their first tour in 24 years to perform their Chemistry album live in June.
Chemistry, released in 1981, was the Australian band's second album and reached No.3 on the charts. The album produced the hits State Of The Heart, Cool World, Chemistry and Summer of 81.
State of the Heart, written by Eric McCusker, also reached No.22 in the US in 1985 for Rick Springfield. Springfield performed the song at the historic Live Aid concert.
A remastered and expanded version of the Chemistry album will be released on May 2.
The 2014 Mondo Rock line-up will feature original members Ross Wilson, Eric McCusker, James Black and Paul Christie and The Aztecs drummer Gil Matthews.
"Getting back together with the original Chemistry era Mondo Rock members, I imagine, is like when war veterans get back together, 'you had to be there, no one else understands' kind of thing. And then when we do reunite, we'll raise all kinds of musical hell," Ross Wilson said in a statement.
Tickets for the tour go on sale from February 21.
