‘Dick Donkeys Dawn’ was formed in 1997 by artists Sean Dower, Oliver Hangl and Georgina Starr. Between 1997 and 1999, they produced songs, live performances and videos. Their live debut in October 1997 was at the John D Rockefeller Centre in Oslo, in the project 'Visual Artists Live on Stage', presented by Galleri Struts. Performances quickly followed in Berlin and venues across Austria. Their second set of songs were toured in Europe during 1998. They produced the 3D video for Boon and Mills in Vienna during this time. The DVD ‘Dick Donkeys Dawn – remixes by Dick’ features videos of live and recorded material and a documentary, The Story of Dick Donkeys Dawn.

The 3D video for 'Boon and Mills' was exhibited in: 'Video Hits, Art and Music Video' at Queensland Art Gallery, Australia (2004).

The documentary 'The Story of Dick Donkeys Dawn' was shortlisted for the Ken Russell Short Film Award in 2004.

“Dick Donkeys Dawn, a whirling dervish of a documentary, cut fast and full of strange, demented, decadent people. It was hilariously entertaining”
Ken Russell – 2004
