In 1983, he joined TISM, a band two of his friends, Damian Cowell and Eugene Cester, had founded the year before. TISM remained anonymous throughout their career, with Minack adopting the stage name "Ron Hitler-Barassi", a reference to his German background and Australian rules football fandom.

TISM split up at the end of 2004 and Minack returned to his day job as a teacher in Melbourne.
