Scared Weird Little Guys (also referred to as SWLG or The Scaredies) were an Australian comedy music duo formed in July 1990, comprising John Chaplin-Fleming (vocals, guitar, mandolin) and Rusty Berther (vocals, guitar, banjo). The Scaredies performed their last ever live show in Brisbane in May 2011. ==History== In 1987 Chaplin-Fleming joined "Four Chairs No Waiting", an ''a cappella'' group comprising David Holmes, Ramsey Collins and Rusty Berther. The group performed aboard a Fairstar cruise, as well as touring RSL clubs around Sydney. They performed during most of Expo 88 in Brisbane. In 1989 Berther and Chaplin-Fleming joined "The Phones", one of Australia's top ''a cappella'' groups, which boasted members such as Paul Keelan, Michael Dalton and Reg Ellery. Performing at comedy and cabaret venues around Australia, the group also held a regular TV spot on Channel 7's ''Bert Newton Show''. Following the group's break-up in 1990, Chaplin-Fleming and Berther teamed up and moved away from ''a cappella'' to concentrate on musical comedy routines. The duo has had much success touring Australia, as well as more than 20 tours of festivals and college campuses in North America, and three tours of the UK in 1997, 1998 and 2001. The name "Scared Weird Little Guys" comes from a line in the Al Pacino movie ''Cruising''. The Scaredies announced on 1 August 2010 that the act would be coming to an end after 21 years. They embarked on a national farewell tour named 'Enough Already', which ran until mid-2011. The duo released a final CD entitled ''Enough Already'' which included recordings from their Mount Gambier, Horsham and Warrnambool shows. The Scaredies did in excess of 4,600 live gigs, performing their final show in Brisbane on 22 May 2011. Rusty Berther continues to perform with another group, "Rusty and Another Guy", whose style is similar to the Scaredies. They mostly perform for private events and corporate functions.
