Pure pop - saw them as the Rez and the Rev (at least a dozen times at the Paisley Bungalow alone) - storming group, best live act of their era. Kids today - they don't know what they're missing! I do. Lucky me.
Their guitarist Kid Krupa passed away about 5 years ago, so they don't plan on getting back to together, or at least that's what it said on their MySpace page.
In answer to your question, "why did they change from rezillos to revillos?", if I remember correctly, it was because their original record company wouldn't let them use "rezillos" when they left for another label, and so they simply reVised their name, and cleverly renamed themselves the reVillos.
managed to get backstage at the ballroom dunfermline fife. was starstruck, was only 14 at the time. She was absolutely wonderful and down to earth.You're right dickeydoo, this is exactly what the charts needs, a good kick up the arse. Still in love with Fay Fife, aaahh, heaven, where's me kleenex!!!!!
Fay Fife is so excellently ungraceful!

Wrong Rubin.. They're back, they're black and they we're ready to rock. Apart from the black bit.
Joy of joys, saw them last year in Scotland and South Yorkshire. They were great, and we didn't mean to scare Joe too much. :)
Come on, the Revs were always better than the Rez's! Jo 'HL' Callis or not!
