television documentary John Peel's Record Box. "Skylab (Son of Telstar)", written by Gooding and Rendall, received radio airplay as a tape in mid 1979. It was never released as a single and did not appear on either of the XL Capris' two albums. The song does feature on later compilation albums featuring independent bands of the period. Their next single, "World War Three" (October 1980, produced by Hunter) was written by Pigott and Hunter. Rendall left to form Le Hoodoo Gurus in January 1981. He later became a music video director and then a second unit director for the latter two Matrix series movies. He was replaced by Hunter (guitar), Michael Chirnside (bass) joined, Anderson left to be replaced by Michael Farmer (drums). Barry Blackler (drums) also joined. Where Is Hank? First album was Where Is Hank? (March 1981, produced by Hunter). Gooding wrote ten of the fourteen tracks including two with Pigott. 'Hank' in the title was a German shepherd owned by Rendall: "Hank went to live on a farm at Nambucca Heads". 'Tosca' was the name of their landlady's cat and it was chased up a tree by Hank, thus the album title, Where Is Hank?, is a pun on a 1980s television advertisement for a chocolate bar: 'Where's George?' The response is ... 'gone for a Tosca!'. Weeds Second album was Weeds (October 1981, produced by Hunter). Pigott and Hunter wrote six songs including the single "Igloos" and Gooding wrote six songs. Hunter returned to Dragon (late 1981) and XL Capris dissolved in 1982. Gooding briefly joined Tactics and resumed screenwriting. He also wrote the successful country and western stage musical, King of Country.
