[kirkieboo1]

I like rose

[kirkieboo1]

I like rose

[ItaloBen]

Great clip, but I kind of want to punch the blonde guy in the face.

[taoist77]

@panzersushi Coil are no more as both founding members John Balance and Peter Christopherson are now deceased.

[Ericheavenly6]

There singing voices are so different than their talking voices. o_O

[captaincomputa]

Why did Sarah Green marry Mike Smith and not me?

[SmoookeMyBooones]

what's Jill upto these days? anyone knows?

[NewWaver80014]

@SmoookeMyBooones Jill dropped out of music to marry and raise a family.

[simoom37]

@SmoookeMyBooones . She did a few musical ventures just after Str Sw split up nowadays she does ceramics & paintings

[scottvska]

Jill is incredibly hot.

[ajittffcure]

Lovely girls and good musicians, too.

[SNAPEAPPEAL]

boy georges sisters!!!!!...ASSHOLE

[Ericheavenly6]

@SNAPEAPPEAL They said in another interview they like boy georges clothes.

[jmvirgfb]

There are a lot of negative comments about Mike Smith here which is fair enough, when I think back to other interviewers of this era they would have been just as bad, possibly worse. Nick Ross and Selina Scott wouldn't have been able to handle this any better. This was around a time when Mike Smith was hot property at the BBC. Very awkward viewing. How could he not remember which was Jill and which was Rose!?

I wore out my original SS (mispressed) album, a thing of beauty in every way!

[KurisutenS]

It's disappointing its not all about the music anymore

[Rhademanthus]

It's so hard for me to digest that this is the same Rose McDowall who sang on 'To Drown a Rose'. Mind-boggling.

[simoom37]

@Rhademanthus Can you please explain why?

[Rhademanthus]

@simoom37 It's the deep Glaswegian accent which is just such a contract to her high, clear ethereal singing on Di6's stuff.

[simoom37]

@Rhademanthus ok I now see ;) I hadn't got it that way, sorry..

[vulpecula999]

I hate that wanker doing the interview - what a tosser

[simoom37]

Love them, I'm a big fan. Love their accents! I'm French & I understand Jill much better than Rose.. :) I love the way she says "when you get into routine" !!!! lovely

[basketballchickensod]

@simoom37 :)

[basketballchickensod]

Oh My Gosh...the girls look very akward when the man said these girls look like boy george...very cute of them :) 0:16

[leokleve]

@basketballchickensod

:)

[basketballchickensod]

@leokleve thanks for the smile.. :)

[pelomis]

This is brilliant! Thankyou! Have loved Strawberry Switchblade since the 80s. Now thats one band I'd pay to see reform. Jill and Rose, you listening..?

[Heegoop]

Also you know what. Strawberry Switchblade are better than suckish band Paramore. Problem there aren't enough all female bands and we need more of them.

[IntellectualAmy]

To describe anyone as 'Boy George's' Sisters is a terrible insult to any woman. He was very false, and now, over the years he has proved himself to be what he really is: lowlife, a junkie, and a thoroughly rotten person. I liked Strawberry Switchblade. It was sad how they faded as quickly as they arrived. A great era.

[JAYROX1969]

I thought they were great, i even bought the JOLENE single, hoping it would be as big a hit as SINCE YESTERDAY, sadly it wasn't.

[basketballchickensod]

2:08 her eyes looks flirty...i love that :)

[loren1283]

Interveiwer is a complete FUCKTARD!

[mbdulka]

So ahead of their time .... awesome.... unmanufactured music, completely rare these days.

[hexfix93]

That normal git, i want to stab him in the fucking face 100 times, how disrespectful he is to them.

[xxezxx]

my friend from art college dresses like this all the time & shes 24 or 25 i think

[AdmiralBirdseye]

Weekday audiences actually. And it was aimed at adults, not kids. You obviously weren't born until about 1991.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

Is there a problem with being born after 1991, AdmiralBirdseye?

[AdmiralBirdseye]

Ain't that Sian Lloyd and Amy Winehouse? And what a boring fart Mike Smith is. It's probably why poor Amy turned to drug use.

[furyplum44]

Scene kids look like them :)

[LaurenAllgroveTV]

Very good point!!

I was thinking that when I saw them..

And was like, WOW, scene kids stole their looks.

Hahaha :)

[CarMoves]

This guy can't ask a good question

[dporter1733]

My big sister will never change she still dresses like this lol

[DarkAngelSpirit13]

I would say a reverse Switchblade Symphony..Strawberry Switchblade is good too.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

Their both good in their own ways, but totally incomparable.

[rickelmonoggin]

Mike Smith-what a cockhead.

[simes2024]

Agreed......mindless, twatty interviewing

[tjbedista]

I luv these girls and I luv their HEAVY scottish accent!

I thank my BF for introducing this band to me!

[taoist77]

Christ!!! 12 after this interview rose would guest vocal on the 'God and Beast' album by notorious undergroung industrial noise artist NON.

[taoist77]

......after "12" -years.

[gordak]

she started working with Boyd Rice in 1987, 2 years after Strawberry Switchblade.

[taoist77]

Indeed. wasn't her husband 'Drew' a member of coil for a short time?

[gordak]

I don't know, I know she was married a few times. So thats very Possible.

[dekidex]

Yes Rose introduced Drew to the guys in Coil I think

[simoom37]

Rose was first married to Drew (early 1980s), then married to Robert Lee (approx 10 years after). She has 3 kids.

[simoom37]

@taoist77 yes she was, she had a daughter with him 1980 or close to.

[AntiMusick]

@taoist77 she was married to Drew McDowall they were both in the band Poems together, they have a daughter who was born in 1980 Kari McDowall, you can she her on one of the later TV interviews from 1995. Drew must have know Coil from the days when did stuff in PTV. Later Rose was married to Robert Lee who worked with her during time as 'Sorrow'.

[glasgowtalisman]

@taoist77 yes drew was roses former husband and was manager off the shamen techno band rose is really nice met her in edinburgh a few years back

[Supersweetguy]

@gordak corrected, a year after Strawberry Switchblade broke up.

[Supersweetguy]

@gordak correction, a year after Strawberry Switchblade broke up.

[AntiMusick]

@taoist77 if you watch the interviews from 1995 she did she talked about The The, Psychic TV and other british bands, if she knew about PTV then she knew about Throbbing Gristle and Coil, Current 93 and all that I mean they were all in London in the Club scene and they would have crossed paths many times... Read the Book 'England's Hidden Reverse' if you really wanna know.

[aflyer]

Great to see them in an interview. But that guy needs to work on his interviewing skills, what dumb questions.

[GavinGlowfox]

I love Rose and Jill. The interviewer is mean. The End.

[inshreds66]

Love Death In June.

[caznable2k]

yah from SCOTLAND

[monroeboy80]

Just love their thick accents. So sad the two had to part over something so bitter as bad management and money. In the end they owed so much money to the record company that what they started out doing with love and creativity was destroyed by the politics of the record business.

[SDjilliaRE]

I love Jill!! Thanks for the interview. I hadn't seen it before now.

[robotfilmstar]

i love her voice so bad

[Bilbone]

Very pretty girls. Just a bit depressing that all the girls I lusted after in my youth are now post-menopausal. Except for Kylie - she's still only about twenty-five.

[KommissarMakita]

Post menopausal? Thats no problem for me!

[beverlysutvin]

yay!

[ekvomit]

all the best ROSE!

[101merrick101]

How amazing they look, and what a total twat Mike Smith is. how the hell was he allowed to be a DJ? You can just tell he doesn't own any records.

[ringspun01]

aww geez.  Thanks for posting this.
