Australian duo Savage Garden--Darren Hayes and
Daniel Jones--were first heard in the U.S. when a Dallas, TX radio
DJ picked up a copy of their single, "I Want You," while on a trip Down Under.
"By the time we got to America," says Darren, "the song was
on moderate rotation. And we had the pick of record companies and
management."
Actually, three of America's biggest record companies were
vying for Savage Garden--Sony won and released their self-titled CD. And
things have really changed for these Australian cuties. "Nobody
ever stopped me on the street before and said, 'Boy you're really cute!'"
laughs Darren. "Now it happens all the time. I love it!"
