The story behind Eurythmics' 1983 smash hit single Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) starts, in some ways, in a hotel room in Wagga Wagga.
Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox's previous band, The Tourists, had broken up amid an Australian tour, and the pair found themselves in the regional NSW city in late 1980 wondering what the hell they were going to do next.
While tinkering with a synthesiser in a Wagga Wagga hotel room, Stewart and Lennox came up with the answer — form a duo making "weird and experimental electronic music".
