The Tribe
Band,
Singer / Musician of Rock
Aust Post Punk Pop Band The Tribe emerged in the early 80s, and consisted of Jan Preston on vocals, Phil Wichett on keyboards, Gary Evans on bass, Mina Motu on drums and Guy Le Claire on guitar. There are three songs by The Tribe that I would consider lost pop classics. The singles, Angel of the Junkheap, Dreams and Even in Russia are lyrically clever and full of hooks, shimmering keyboards and Jan Preston's soaring, flawless vocals. The Tribe didn't last long enough to put out an LP, but I'm glad they left behind these few treasures. Apparently, after the band broke up Jan Preston went on to become a respected blues singer and songwriter and Guy Le Claire is now based in Hong Kong playing and teaching guitar (site), Unfortunately, The Tribe singles and EP have not yet been released on CD. - Angel (of the Junkheap) b/w I Aint Waiting (Single, 1984) - Dreams b/w No Music on My Radio (Single, 1984) - Even in Russia b/w Caught in the Crossfire (Single, 1985) - War Cry (6 song EP, 1985)
