My Interests

OIL & INTERNET

I'd like to meet:

In 1979 as SPIZZENERGI went on to perform the guitar driven, fizzy, punk, Sci-Fi classic 'Where's Captain Kirk?' (Melody Maker Single Of The Week). Became the 1st number one of the official Indie chart launched in January 1980, where it stayed for eight weeks. 'Kirk' remained in the Indie top 30 for the entire year and was considered by the late BBC DJ John Peel to be "The only Star Trek tribute worthy of the Enterprise's juke box". Stadium rockers R.E.M. liked 'Where's Captain Kirk?' so much they recorded it as a fan club members Xmas gift in 1992.
Thanks Spizz
