Before the Someloves, Dom Mariani was in the the Stems with future Chevelle Richard Lane. This song, "At First Sight", sounded familiar when I heard it on Dom's (highly recommended) Popsided Guitar anthology, but I couldn't remember where I'd heard it before. Turns out the song was featured in Young Einstein, a very silly film with a kick Aus soundtrack featuring Icehouse, Paul Kelly, the Lime Spiders, the Saints, and the Stems.
There's been a Stems revival in the 2000s, with multiple reissues, a couple of their songs on Children of Nuggets, and a 2007 reunion album (Heads Up) that included a U.S. tour that I sadly missed. They're playing their final tour in Australia in October, at least until they reform in the 2010s.
