All about Tony:
Disco Computer is the current project of Tony Irvine & Monika Ciura, exploring their roots in Dance Music, as well as their passion for things 1980's.

But Tony's Obsession with Music actually dates back to the 1980’s, when he discovered Community Radio Station 5 MMM FM (Now 3D Radio). For five years, he insulted the Adelaide airwaves as both a late night and breakfast Announcer. But making music was what he wanted to do and with that in mind, he bought his first synths and drum machine...

He then co-founded Adelaide cult band "Psychotronix", as Synth player/Vocalist. But after a few short months, the band split and he moved to Melbourne with the other Psychotronix synth player Chris Gaston. Things didn't work out so well for Chris who returned to Adelaide to continue with his Art/Music. But Tony continued on in Melbourne, as synth player/vocalist for "Arty Fiscal", which lasted several incarnations and played in several states for the several years that it lasted in the early 90’s. He also did some work for Channel 31, writing several TV themes for some of their shows between 1997 and 2000.

In 1998, he formed out there Dance Duo “Harold & Cindy Hospital”, taking their name from the classic song from seminal electronic outfit Severed Heads, performing all over town and was also included in the Severed heads in house compilation “Mangled by the tools of Satan” back in 2002.

In 1993, Tony was to begin again his long lasting love affair with Community Radio, Joining PBS FM, where he's been presenting the Show IrvineJUMP! Since October 1993. In that time he has interviewed many local and international artists, rediscovered his interest in Industrial music, and entertained many listeners over the show’s 12 year period, raking up a respectable 450 shows so far.
