Biography
Relatively short-lived (1979 to 1981, then reformed in June 2016 to present) new-wave rock band from Guildford, UK, formed around [a=David Fenton]. Managed by [a=Bruce Foxton] of [a=The Jam] and [a=Paul Weller]'s father, John Weller, they enjoyed worldwide success with their second single "Turning Japanese." After 2 albums, tours of the US, UK and Australia, subsequent disenchantment with the insincerity of the record industry and a lukewarm reception to their second album, the band dissolved. They started touring again in 2016 and in May 2020 released their 3rd album "Together." Original lineup: David Fenton Guitar, Vocals; Ed Bazalgette Guitar; Steve Smith Bass, Vocals; Howard Smith Drums. Reunion lineup: David Fenton Guitar, Vocals; Ed Bazalgette Guitar; Steve Smith Bass, Vocals; Michael Bowes Drums; Dan Fenton Guitar, Vocals.
