In 1988 The Bombers were formed and signed to A & M Records in the USA. The band were paid the largest advance ever paid to an Australian based band, but unfortunately after the band had completed a five-star reviewed album, A & M was sold to Phonogram, leaving the band high and dry.
The Bombers' original drummer was Lancaster's ex-Status Quo band mate John Coghlan. Ironically, Lancaster had been complicit in Coghlan's departure from Status Quo in 1981. The Bombers supported Cheap Trick (1988), Alice Cooper (1990) and Skid Row (1990) on their tours of Australia.
When the Bombers disbanded, Lancaster continued with his then partner John Brewster ("The Angels") with The Lancaster Brewster Band, in which Angry_Anderson performed as a guest artist for some time.
Lancaster then formed his own band: Alan Lancaster's Bombers which released an E.P. and toured Scandinavia before disbanding in 1995.
