If you go to the strawberryswitchblade web site all the discography and loads of cool stuff, interviews, pics etc is all on there, if i remember rightly, jill is married to julian copes guitarist and featured on the front cover of an album to raise money for breast cancer, an i believe rose may be recording some new stuff......SS were so under rated but that was due to the times i believe....if they re-appeared now they would take the world by storm..........girls!! you listening.....lol..
They were so... above... the bloody awful time they had the misfortune to exist in. They look like baffled time travelling space nymphs, smiling courteously but also being drained of their incredible gift by the cultural horror all about them. Iconic.
I just about had a merry christmas heart attack! Where did you find all that glorious and rare footage? Where did you find that song? I went to polka dot Scottish heaven....
I love this song!!! :o) (I hate the beginning though). 80's New Wave at it's tackiest...

The song is called So Vicious by Rose Mcdowall's solo album ''Cut With The Cake Knife''. you could almost think it's by them together ;)

@SmoookeMyBooones It is both Jill and Rose, the Cake knife CD is all both of them, its just outtakes from before they broke up
