I got back in touch with drummer Kearin Wright and guitarist Kevin McFadden as the three of us had played in bands together on and off since school days. Bass player Malcolm Young had posted an advert in the NME looking for a band to join, so we asked him to audition and on hearing him play, knew that the foursome was complete.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">After a few months spent song writing and rehearsing we felt tight as a band and ready to rock. A weekly residency was blagged at local hotspot The Crown Cellar Bar which we were soon packing out.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile I’d grabbed the attention of Swindon band XTC’s management team, which led to them taking us on and getting us gigs at the Bristol Locarno concert venue as second on the bill to LA punk stars The Dickies [22/05/79] and soon after, UK power pop band The Records.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Studio time was booked at Sound Conception in Bristol with more local gigs played, including the well renowned Granary Club [11-08-79]. DJ John Peel got to know about us and after hearing our studio demos, a recording session was booked for September 25th at BBC’s Maida Vale complex, which was broadcast nine days later.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Tour dates soon followed:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0vbqKB3BdhOj8ZIx2Roh9Hm0Z9ThB1YddziBEiVmaeh9uVbpiBgd2ET-EI4y7SD2y8X2woA4u3SFmV-PFEC8SVpxB4e3d8m51AYsS-ytGWpIe6Pw3YwVDYIKBpF-nJMf45o04KIPngTdgBsl59myTO5yzJ2h3CYXd0FezMHqrF7mxIKnEv7Ms97qeQ/s3307/zNM%C2%A3%2020-10-1979.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3307" data-original-width="2266" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0vbqKB3BdhOj8ZIx2Roh9Hm0Z9ThB1YddziBEiVmaeh9uVbpiBgd2ET-EI4y7SD2y8X2woA4u3SFmV-PFEC8SVpxB4e3d8m51AYsS-ytGWpIe6Pw3YwVDYIKBpF-nJMf45o04KIPngTdgBsl59myTO5yzJ2h3CYXd0FezMHqrF7mxIKnEv7Ms97qeQ/w174-h226/zNM%C2%A3%2020-10-1979.jpg" width="174" /></a></div><br /><u>October 1979</u><br />09 Reading Target Club<br />11 Weston Super Mare Sloopy’s Club<br />18 Weston Super Mare Sloopy’s Club<br />21 London Marquee Club (support act to Toyah Wilcox)<br />23 London Nashville (support act to Classix Nouveau)<br />24 London Music Machine (support act to Sore Throat)<br />27 Bristol Crown Cellar Bar<br /><u>November 1979</u><br />01 London Fulham Greyhound<br />03 Birmingham Underworld (support act to UB40)<br />06 London Hope and Anchor<br />07 Bristol Stonehouse<span style="white-space: pre;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj91S-fQzjgX9A2cfvk9uO7IBLac6EKsXDjjNdIdCbWErphzxYPssLj9uY7JqvJ84znKptAspQVGQZoKfCu4jS5WVR6rvZ8wCWV-MDLZat0oiE4eDKwbZvuBYHQNi_8DMq2vAbMILTQ-vX7JAwwcLyGR84U-1cTIQjm7efcvMt2vVAk65fjqilqpHxuVQ/s1277/zNME%2017-11-1979.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1277" data-original-width="1104" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj91S-fQzjgX9A2cfvk9uO7IBLac6EKsXDjjNdIdCbWErphzxYPssLj9uY7JqvJ84znKptAspQVGQZoKfCu4jS5WVR6rvZ8wCWV-MDLZat0oiE4eDKwbZvuBYHQNi_8DMq2vAbMILTQ-vX7JAwwcLyGR84U-1cTIQjm7efcvMt2vVAk65fjqilqpHxuVQ/w173-h200/zNME%2017-11-1979.jpg" width="173" /></a></div></span>13 Bristol Stonehouse<br />15 London Nashville (support act to The Screams)<br />21 Bristol Granary Club (support act to Generation X)<br />28 Twickenham West London College (support act to The Members)<br /><u>January 1980</u><br />11 Exmouth Pavilion</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">After the tour, we decided to take some time out to write more songs. 1979 had been a great year and we felt that we’d achieved a lot in a short period of time. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The gigs had been so full of energy and excitement. Generation X were awesome to watch and hang out with. The UB40 gig was promoted as a Punky Reggae Party and it truly was. The John Peel session was ace! All the recordings were done in one or two takes. We were booked in for a whole day at Maida Vale but were finished in a few hours and left the Sound Engineer to it. The band Madness, who like us were just starting out, happened to be in the next studio along the corridor and we enjoyed chatting together over cups of tea in the canteen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As a bunch of guys, with our crew, we clowned around a lot and had wild times and fun. As far as I know there are only three surviving photographs of the band and they’re here in this archive. We travelled to Birmingham to do the shoot and after getting bored with the ‘all stand in a line’ format, started to mess around as usual, which then led to the chaotic photo being taken that typified us. Standing left to right in the more standard photograph is Kevin, Mark, Kearin and Malcolm.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwV38ULXl2cUm2R1YZ7F-LEqbS8Sl64L8axGZCzUMGi8kT_G4_zT4Tz0LMnasjCzvw0kpdkDlQQTI8Fk9ah21G5pctNFkj_5XGgB8_SKtvt2LQnlVNjSmEfchsXvk8JAAsVBrTlLIMfZbxwJh76fedWryCYMwAnbu-qSJuPcCHgOmgsOUD_-9Pwrr7w/s799/Vitus-Dance-3%20-%20Copy.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="546" data-original-width="799" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEwV38ULXl2cUm2R1YZ7F-LEqbS8Sl64L8axGZCzUMGi8kT_G4_zT4Tz0LMnasjCzvw0kpdkDlQQTI8Fk9ah21G5pctNFkj_5XGgB8_SKtvt2LQnlVNjSmEfchsXvk8JAAsVBrTlLIMfZbxwJh76fedWryCYMwAnbu-qSJuPcCHgOmgsOUD_-9Pwrr7w/w200-h137/Vitus-Dance-3%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="200" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It turned out that Vitus Dance never did get back together after our break. Kevin and I had both shared the lead vocal roles yet there was a vibe emerging that a single frontman would better suit the line-up. Also, I was of the opinion that we were too late on the scene. Chrysalis, Virgin, CBS and Island records had passed on us and the Synth Pop bands as well as the New Romantics were just about to take off big time. As I write this, I’m thinking back to a time forty years ago and to be honest I can’t really remember why? We were young and moved on without too much deep thought.</div></div><div><br />Kevin and Kearin formed Misdemeanour and later on Malcolm and I became Voice of Nature.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/lcomm5njd2lhkl6/VDPD.rar/file" target="_blank">Sounds & Scans</a></div><p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>bristolboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09315619392790149524noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101972876152016601.post-58801767405357603702023-05-02T09:18:00.001-07:002023-05-02T09:18:42.454-07:00Dalmatians - What Has Love Taught You (1980)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This was all great fun, but eventually I felt it was time to do something with my own songs, so I managed to blag a month in a residential studio in France with what was basically Sniff and the Tears backing me and a great engineer called Steve Lipson. The resulting album’s worth of material brought me a recording contract with Chrysalis. <br />It was at this point that things went astray for a while. In my naivity, I thought that I had earned the right to have fun making records, but the label I had signed to was a serious, no prisoners taken, commercial outlet who were used to releasing hit records with career minded people.... Anyway, we spent a year or so at cross purposes, releasing a couple of singles that were well received in Europe, and got good reviews in the British music press, but on top of an unofficial BBC ban on any future recordings, I refused to go touring in America, and from that point on it’s not so much that I was dropped, as we just stopped talking to each other ...permanently<br /><br /><br /><u>Discography</u><br />7" 13-02-1981 <i>Boys In Love/Send You My Picture</i> (Chrysalis Records CHS 2499)<br />7" 10-07-1981 <i>Love's Made A Fool Of You/Wendy </i>(Chrysalis Records CHS 2531)<br /><br /><u>Useless info 1</u> the Cover Photo was by <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/1566010-Chris-Gabrin" target="_blank">Chris Gabrin</a> [L-R Chris, Brian, Robby, Loz]</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><u>Useless info 2</u> Boys In Love Was included on the 2002 Spanish Compilation <a href="https://www.discogs.com/release/3921552-Various-Metrojets-Vol-1" target="_blank">Metrojets Vol. 1</a><br /><br /><u>Useless info 3</u> Boys In Love was aired twice by John Peel on his <a href="http://theperfumedgarden.blogspot.com/2019/02/john-peel-4th-february-1981.html" target="_blank">04-02-1981</a> & 10-02-1981 Shows<br /><br /><i>'Play me that twangy guitar and I’m anybody's"</i> - John Peel 10-02-1981</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />"Brian Copsey and the Commotions were a good band, but they failed to excite record buyers: They were on Chrysalis. They came right out of the blue and they were very hip for a short time. Brian Copsey was a Bryan Ferry with a bit of the lounge lizard about him and they were a good rock band. Although Brian wrote a lot of material, Chrysalis wanted me to cut the band on the Buddy Holly song, ‘Love’s Made A Fool Of You’, which became a single. Other titles included ‘Shavin’ With The Lights On’, ‘King Of The Hop’ and ‘Shirley In The Rain’, but not everything was released. They didn’t last long and I stole the drummer, Chris Wyles, to replace Howard Tibble in Shakin’ Stevens’ band. <br />I would chop and change players like that, so everything has a benefit in the long run.” </div><div style="text-align: left;">-<a href="http://www.spencerleigh.co.uk/2018/04/stuart-colman/" target="_blank"> Stuart Colman </a>(Producer) RIP</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/pl3cuh858odqha4/Brian+Copsey+And+The+Commotions.rar/file" target="_blank">Sounds & Scans</a><br /><br /></div>bristolboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09315619392790149524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101972876152016601.post-15724007960695667832022-10-08T06:38:00.000-07:002022-10-08T06:38:15.312-07:00Revolver - One & One Is Two (1979)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKzGvg9HOefgaQQKVVVVIlC5aTlaeRZp8OZ9wsfOO0Dan0UMHXqLl-gaEO2M89pcryw8uVIubul68--NvO2ThwveGKMhtMyuCYB6BWdNH1gZ7Hdk-UpHKSmHRiw87xXGSliH69qQ5kofYsRaCJK6KL2VL_PGWi0BgpLDMiC2WZSsydPo_5P3t-1PPpaw/s2264/Front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2236" data-original-width="2264" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKzGvg9HOefgaQQKVVVVIlC5aTlaeRZp8OZ9wsfOO0Dan0UMHXqLl-gaEO2M89pcryw8uVIubul68--NvO2ThwveGKMhtMyuCYB6BWdNH1gZ7Hdk-UpHKSmHRiw87xXGSliH69qQ5kofYsRaCJK6KL2VL_PGWi0BgpLDMiC2WZSsydPo_5P3t-1PPpaw/w200-h198/Front.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>b/w Nobody I Know</div><div><br />Cool Beatles Sounding Powerpop from</div><div><br /><b>Brian Doran</b> (Voc Guitar) <br /><b>Keith Gunson</b> (Voc Bass) <span style="font-size: x-small;">later in <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/1851714-The-Cherry-Boys-2" target="_blank">The Cherry Boys</a> </span><br /><b>Derek Barlow</b> (Guitar Voc)<br /><b>Paul Scrutton</b> (Drums Voc)</div><div><br />Revolver was a side project for <i>Black Maria</i> [A Beatles Cover band popular on the Merseyside circuit throughout the 70' & early 80's]</div><div><br />September 1979 saw the release of this 45 & an LP [Northern Songs (<i>The Lennon & McCartney Compositions the Beatles Never Issued</i>)] on Rox Records</div><div><br /><u>LP Tracklist</u> [<i>with the original Artists that released them</i>]<br />01 One And One Is Two [<i>Mike Shannon & The Strangers</i>]<br />02 Bad To Me [<i>Billy J.

Frank began writing songs and one of those, '<i>TV People</i>' soon became an anthem in the local Toronto clubs. The song was about getting "screwed up" by watching too much television so Frank decided to illustrate this by exploding a TV on his head. He soon added other strange headwear such as the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvy-jieNtv8 smoking pig" target="_blank">The Smoking Pig</a> on '<i>High Times'</i> & taking audience photographs with a Gigantic Camera on '<i>Take My Picture Please</i>'.</div><div style="text-align: left;">In 1979, the Imps were voted the 'Best Canadian Bar Band' and caught the attention of 104.5 CHUM-FM radio. They recorded their first album '<i>In The Tube</i>' live. After touring throughout Canada, the group came back to Toronto and signed a record deal with Quality Records. <i>Frank Soda And The Imps</i> AKA <i>Soda Pop</i> (Which this 45 is lifted from) was released in 1980, although recorded on a shoestring budget, it enabled the band to play to larger audiences whilst sharing the stage with such bands as Triumph, Deep Purple, Savoy Brown, Ian Hunter and Goddo.</div><div style="text-align: left;">In 1981 the original <i>Imps</i> disbanded.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/po4i7qaam4lrnr1/Frank+Soda.rar/file">Sounds & Scans</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><p></p>bristolboyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09315619392790149524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101972876152016601.post-49836031607535014152022-06-02T09:30:00.000-07:002022-06-02T09:30:38.747-07:00Ishmael United - Song Of The Last Generation (1979)<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVawg6C5mVRYYYUX8cqDxA-_golsfcRjHVG5GIRkVPJmXgPrISjzXYTRKA4drZrXCgfZ9_TelRBDtFRk35P2fuEI9O9chi_Of_j4s55xCTgIj7JUxcx7B9fz6HwdJAAcrxo1DVhDNF0mGAC2dRq3ZfGGH2kJCuTl0NQl22GUdb7XC3_VWD3Mc6NuKl8g/s2228/lbl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2228" data-original-width="2223" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVawg6C5mVRYYYUX8cqDxA-_golsfcRjHVG5GIRkVPJmXgPrISjzXYTRKA4drZrXCgfZ9_TelRBDtFRk35P2fuEI9O9chi_Of_j4s55xCTgIj7JUxcx7B9fz6HwdJAAcrxo1DVhDNF0mGAC2dRq3ZfGGH2kJCuTl0NQl22GUdb7XC3_VWD3Mc6NuKl8g/w199-h200/lbl.jpg" width="199" /></a></div><div><br /> b/w Crowd Trouble</div><div><br />Bristol Born <i>Rev.
