Band,
Short-lived Metal Band formed by Simon Bisley and two of his local friends Bob Joy and Dave Lambourne from the Banbury area. Their de-facto Manager was Mike Lake, who created the Forbidden Planet chain and publishing company Titan Books, a long-time mate of Bisley. After pretty extensive practise the band played about ten gigs. One of two gigs in Bedford was fantastic; the last gig at The Purple Turtle in Camden was worse than Spinal Tap at the Theme Park. High point was a pretty damned good gig at a Street Festival in Hilversum. Three recording sessions spawned about 8 or 9 tracks, one overseen by Misha Nicolic, one by Bob Miller and one by Tony Sole, in a home recording studio, in a shed in a back-garden in Banbury (on 8-track!). Dave was married at the time hence the credit of Dave Maierhoffer-Lambourne. He was sadly killed in a bike-crash in 2008. Bob still plays in local bands. There was another recording session in late 2008 with Bisley and a new crew, overseen by Steve Parsons/ Snips, which may see the light of day someday.
