The Hummingbirds were an Australian indie pop and jangle pop band from Sydney, who formed in 1986 from Bug Eyed Monsters.[1][2] They were one of the most highly regarded outfits to emerge from Sydney's inner-city scene during the late 1980s and were an early signing to the rooArt label.[1] The Hummingbirds' single "Blush" peaked at No.19 on the ARIA singles charts in 1989.[3][4] They left rooArt in 1992, and disbanded in 1993.
