Bandzai! - Zig-Zag (1983)



b/w Solid Security (Gun For Hire)


Nice Mod Powerpop with a ska backbeat from this 5 peice London based band - For some reason Zig-Zag Reminds me of Graduate (Elvis plays Ska)



 
I have 4 nanes from the song writing credits

Nick Cola - (Keyboards)
Camaro
Corvette
Al Price - (Songwriter not Musician)

[their 1st 45 is a little to synth-pop for my tastes]

  1. Possibly Tigers related, Nick Cola/Alan Price?

    'Zig_Zag' seems to have been available from December 1982 despite the 1983 on the labels from the sources I checked. I have 05/03/82 for the first 45 (self distributed) then more widely available 16/04/82 (via Fresh/Rough Trade).

  2. I think I should also point out that, if you put the Band Promo photo above next to the German Wise-Guise sleeve (in the next posts d/l) - It looks like it could be the same boys.
