Formed in 1974 with members out of several disparate bands (Wilkins had come straight from Lighthouse), Deju Vu were signed to Capitol Records. Their debut album 'Song For Everyone', was produced by Lighthouse's Skip Prokop in 1976. The single from the album, "Dance", became a Top-30 hit in the summer of 1976 and landed the band an opening slot on tour with Joe Cocker.
Wilkins and Lowry were replaced by O'Brien and MacAskill respectively for the second album 'Get It Up For Love' produced by Corky Abdo at Captain Audio studios. There was a hold-over track from the first album produced by Skip Prokop which was a cover version of his old Lighthouse hit "Pretty Lady".
The band split up in 1977; Doug MacAskill soon replaced Rich Dodson in The Stampeders; Wilkins went on to join Rough Trade; John Sheard joined Dan Hill on his 1977 Australian tour; Mel O'Brien now lives in Ireland.
