Written by Todd Johnson and Lance Karapetcoff. Produced by V Capri.
Formed in Perth, Australia, V Capri released their first single, “It’s Only A Movie” on the local Theatre label in 1985. They signed with the larger Mushroom label, based in Sydney, the same year and opened their account with “Haunting Me”, composed by members, Todd Johnson and Lance Karapetcoff. The disc reached #45 in Australia.
An album, “In My World” (Australia #52) followed as did a number of singles before the band ceased recording in 1987.
However it didn’t quite end there. From Wikipedia: “The single "Haunting Me" had international release when used in the Australian television soap opera “Neighbours” at the end of Kylie Minogue’s final episode. It reached #77 on the UK Singles Chart in 1989”

About V Capri
V Capri were a new wave/power pop band formed in Perth, Western Australia in 1984, lead vocalist Tod Johnston (Manic D) and guitar player Damian Ward (Flavours, Perfect Strangers), they joined with Lance Karapetcoff on key-boards, Michael O'Brien on bass guitar and Alan Simpson on drums (both of which were in Harlequin Tears). The band was prominent in Perth and also launched their debut solitary, "Only a Movie" on the independent Theatre Label in April 1985, which got to the Perth top 10 but did not get to the top 50 across the country. Success in Perth led to authorizing with Mushroom Records and the launch of more songs but they were incapable to move their appeal in Perth to the eastern states.
