Band Information

While their tenure was remarkably brief, S.A.S. were regarded as Melbourne’s premier metal unit during their existence, a considerable achievement when their contemporaries included Virgin Soldiers and Bengal Tigers, although their status was probably aided by Crofts’ virtuoso guitar playing. After their well-received album was released Smit was replaced briefly by Carmen Suite’s Bob Topping, but the association didn’t last and Robyn Colbett from Wolf moved into the position. S.A.S. was unable to follow up the success of Warlords however, as Colbett was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1989 and the band split.

Just wanted to correct some of the information here regarding Robyn. Robyn's real name was Robyn Colbeck although she often went by the name of Robyn Stewart.Robyn did sing in both bands Wolf and SAS but at the time of her death she was singing in a band called Intruder which she joined in February 1987. She passed away on February 25th 1989. Rene Smit was fronting the band Wolf at that time.
