Freaked Out Flower Children was an Australian band which formed in 1991 with actress and TV presenter, Sophie Lee, on saxophone and vocals. Other members were Gumpy Phillips (ex-Battle Happy, Mighty Big Crime) on guitar and vocals; Tricky J (ex-Mighty Big Crime) on synthesiser; Fiona Ruttelle on backing vocals; and Nicole Love on backing vocals. They played 1960s-styleflower power music. Their debut single "Spill the Wine" – a cover version of Eric Burdon and War's 1970 hit – reached #31 on the ARIA Singles Chart in 1991. In December 1991 the group issued their debut album, 'Love In' on Virgin Records, which was full of syncopated beats and breezy melodies. A second single, "Beautiful People" was issued. However, the group's retro-cabaret and day-glo focus did little to foster a sense of longevity. They disbanded in 1993.
