 Divinyls formed in 1980, fronted by lead singer Christina Amphlett.After scoring several gigs in pubs and clubs, the group was discovered by Australian film director Ken Cameron, who was in the midst of making the movie "Monkey Grip", based on the novel of the same name by Helen Garner.That discovery led to Divinyls providing the entire soundtrack for the film, and also resulted in Amphlett getting a supporting role, playing a temperamental rock singer, based on herself.
