Sherbet's first live performance was at the New 2UW Spectacular held at Brookvale Oval in Sydney on 19 March 1969, and their first mention in the music press was in Go-Set's coverage of the event.
The band's early influences were from pop/progressive bands like the Small Faces and Traffic, as well as from American soul and R&B, as the Jackson cover suggests.

 Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: S5
Sherbet are remembered in Britain (if at all) for their sole UK hit, '76's Howzat, capitalising on the two countries' shared cricket heritage, but they'd been around in their homeland since the end of the '60s.
King Crimson were a major influence on the band (guitarist Frederic L'Epee even played a fl Les Paul while sitting down), though you wouldn't believe it to hear this album's title track; symphonic in a Genesis vein, this is a lengthy synth-heavy piece, strong on melody and very different to the rest of the album.
Their website says the band formed in 1991, and while I don't dispute this, I have difficulty with the concept that they came up with an almost identical sound to Änglagård's without hearing them, reinforced by the fact that it took them five years longer to release their debut album.

Sherbet were never a global hit, but their songs were all over the radio stations here."
Sherbet's Thai success might be compared to that of Michael Learns to Rock, the Danish duo that found a huge following here in the '90s.
"Howzat" was Sherbet's only record to hit charts overseas, reaching the top 10 in England in 1976, but most of their tunes are well known here, having lingered on the radio for years.

Over the pink ground is a decorative band, and at staggered intervals are white glaze cartouches with wreaths of tiny painted blue and purple flowers.
There is a slight amount of gold wear, shown as a reddish burnish on two of the sherbets, as a little bit of rubbing wear, and as tiny pinpricks of missing gold.

Sherbet was Australia's top pop group in the 1970s, with a fan base largely made up of teenage girls, of which I was one.
I was one of the few Sherbet fans I knew, in fact, who never met the guys during their heyday.
On the night of the Sydney concert, during the encore when the band played their extended version of "I'm A Man," the entire Australian cricket team and the World Eleven team trapsed on stage to sing "C'mon Aussie C'mon." It was an interesting merging of cultures.

When asked whether Sherbet will be playing Cassandra - their finest song, and no further correspondence will be entered into on this matter - Braithwaite just as quickly moves on to a more pressing matter.
The band played a couple of times over the years, for benefit nights mainly, but Braithwaite had always resisted approaches to re-form.
Green suspects this largesse may have been because they were a rarity (the ratio of girls to boys in the audiences usually being about five to one) but it could have been because he was the most dedicated of the dedicated.

Then there is the band Shihad who have changed their name to Pacifier, because of the events of September 11.
In the USA, Sherbet is a type of icecream and the promoters felt that the name was too childish for a rock band, so they changed their name to Highway for the American market.

 Run On -- Teen Looch interview
Today, Alan has landed in his current role in the much-talked-about NYC band Run On with Rick Brown, Sue Garner (ex-Fish and Roses), and David Newgarden (ex-WFMU music director who has also contributed musically to the Moles and Hamish Kilgour's Mad Scene).
Musically, having the extra range of organ, trumpet, and percussion (also banjo!) to play with really took the ideas Rick, Sue and I were developing (unsuccessfully) to a logical conclusion not reachable as a trio, live, anyway.
Also, it took the pressure off being in a band with a "couple"...these things often turn into parents/child style relationships and I now have a sibling, so to speak.

His initial success as a singer came with Sherbet, a band which will forever remain in the history books of Australian music.
Sherbet’s Summer Love was the highest selling single of 1975 and Howzat was not only a No #1 hit in Australia, but also achieved #2 in England.
Following the success of Sherbet, Daryl returned to the Australian Music Scene in a very big way as a solo performer in 1988 with the release of the phenomenally successful album, Edge, which spent well over a year in the national charts.
