Carol Anderson was a guitarist founding member of the pioneering Aussie post-punk band Box Of Fish. Box Of Fish were one of the first Aussie bands to incorporate grunge into their music in the early '80s and they were also responsible for giving some high-profile talent their starts in the early days as support acts at their shows, including Died Pretty and The Scientists. Anderson was also a member of the all-star band, The Siberian All Stars who performed many large gigs, including a performance at the Nuclear Disarmament Party for Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett's senate bid in 1984. After suffering from a short period of illness, Anderson died in June 2015. Anderson's importance and relevance to the early days of the Australian music scene will not be forgotten.
