Biography

DIY post-punk band from Runcorn, gathered by Eddie Smith (aka Eddie Cameron) with the purpose of performing and recording some of the songs he had written – a mix of Barrett and early-Floyd psychedelic music and sombre Warsaw / Joy Division aesthetics. The original line-up included Smith on guitar and vocals and Frank Hughes on bass, then expanded to include Ian Gardler (later Wild Weekend, Flesh Impact) on ‘second’ bass and minimalistic electronics, and the latter’s brother, Mike Gardler on lead guitar (who left before their first single came out). This line-up recorded (in Hughes’ and Mike Gardler’s bedroom) the songs that ended up on the band’s first vinyl release "Last Thoughts EP", on the band’s own label (Diverse Records), in September 1979.
