Paris Green 
By late 1984 Tillett was working with a side project, Paris Green, with a core of himself, Raoul Hawkins on bass guitar, and Jeffrey Wegener on drums (ex-Laughing Clowns) joined by "a loose aggregation of musicians".

​Other musicians included Louis Burdett on drums (ex-Benders) and 
Charlie Owen on lead guitar (ex-Tango Bravo).

Paris Green "covered material ranging from Mose Allison to John Coltrane, Ray Charles to Nina Simone, and on any given night there was as many as nine or ten musicians on stage". 

Ian McFarlane (Author of Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop)

Here's a short summary about the Sandringham days...when Paris Green,
among other Sydney bands, were setting Live Residency records!

The Sandringham Hotel was but one of many venues and residencies for the long running live and
ever-changing lineup of Paris Green, but it has a strong association in the hearts and minds of many.

Louis Tillett, a big man with a troubled soul and a stirring voice, was the focal and vocal point of a succession of bands - all of which were called Paris Green. They sweated out the blues from the mid-'80s for a decade's worth of Monday nights at Newtown's Sandringham Hotel. If the band was a revolving door - Louis Burdett, Charlie Owen and Ed Kuepper walked in, walked out, walked in again, passed out, woke up, walked out again - Tillett was its axis. He's back playing a free residency downstairs at the Sando on Sundays from 4pm.

Paris Green (Live)
