Vicki Marr- Up until 1996 Vicki's career had been going quite well. She'd worked at every Adelaide radio station worth knowing about before landing a job in Production at SAFM. This led her to Brisbane's B105 where she made quite a name for herself polishing up spots for the Morning Crew. So far so good. Then in January 1996 she was called in to replace former Martin/Molloy Production Supervisor Scott Muller, who had suffered a complete mental collapse after enduring Mick and Tony's Phil Spector-style tantrums and demands during the making of The Brown Album.
Since then Vicki has been chained to the mixing desk, batting nary an eyelid when the boys sling her a script containing such requirements as "Cow falling down a flight of stairs" or "David Copperfield disappearing up his own arse". In late 1996 Vikki distinguished herself as the engineer and co-producer of the second Martin/Molloy album Poop Chute. She couldn't be prouder. Every Tuesday night Mick and Tony allow her to go home for a few hours so she can throw one of her spectacular Melrose parties. In recent times Vicki has been production director at Nova 100.
