Peter Gifford (born 1955), sometimes known as "Giffo," is an Australian musician. From 1980 until about 1989 he played bass guitar for the rock band Midnight Oil.

Midnight Oil

Peter is credited with creating a significant part of the tight, driving sound that was The Oils, described as being an aggressive bassist. He played on many of the bands most popular albums, including "Place without a Postcard" (1981), "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" (1982), "Red Sails In The Sunset" (1984), and "Diesel and Dust" (1987), as well the band's two studio EPs, "Bird Noises" (1980) and "Species Deceases" (1985).

He is credited with the bass lines of some of the bands most popular songs, including "Only the Strong", "US Forces" "Power and the Passion", "Best of Both Worlds", "When the Generals Talk", "Progress", "The Dead Heart", "Put Down That Weapon", "Dreamworld", and, of course, "Beds Are Burning".

Post-Midnight Oil

After leaving the band, he started Wicked Weasel [ [http://wickedweasel.com/ Wicked Weasel Bikinis: micro bikini shop and sexy photo contest ] ] , a business making very small bikinis. The company has built a reputation providing skimpy swimwear for women on the beach.
