Band Members: There have been nine versions of the band -all giving a diferent slant to the sound but we all really wanted/want the same thing - to create a space where imagination - creativity and rebellion could/can flourish.
Influences: My first influence must be ELVIS followed by ROXY MUSIC and DAVID BOWIE and THE STOOGES but these were just the precusor to the sounds in my head - THE SEX PISTOLS! but between these sounds was THE VELVET UNDERGROUND who became more important as I got older. As a woman, let us not forget SUZI QUATRO. But I always wanted to be PATTI SMITH.
Sounds Like:
But hey! this sounds like nothing good came from the piece. I love that article, seeing your band and your friends' bands mentioned and the ideas all gaining ground, getting aired to a wider audience - bloody fantastic .
If that piece had never been written I'd never have met the Newcastle lads - Cooey, Dave and Tosho the one, at the aborted Scala allnighter. We wouldn't have met the Americans - Maggie and Gerard, later to become Tex Diablo of Zodiac Mindwarp, who generously took Richard and I to Hollywood and Mexico and we'd never have met Michael Moorcock when we did the South Bank Show. No not the south bank show- what am I on- The South of Watford show - exactly.
Fashion digression - The South of Watford Show -what the hell was I thinking of? short white dress, holey black tights tucked into boots! Why didn't I wear the simple, classic little black number - bondage trousers.
Why didn't anyone warn me that video makes you nearly a stone heavier. I was only about 9 stone then and all I remember is my mum ringing me up to tell how fat my thighs looked. So all that speed really worked then!
