From the LP "Life goes on" 1993.
BMX Bandits are a Scottish 1960s-influenced guitar pop band who have been making music from 1986 to the present day. They have shared members with other Bellshill bands Teenage Fanclub and The Soup Dragons.
BMX Bandits were formed by songwriter and lead vocalist Duglas T. Stewart out of the ashes of The Pretty Flowers, a group that featured Stewart alongside Frances McKee (later of The Vaselines), Sean Dickson and Norman Blake. The group have had many line up changes throughout the years.
heir songs mix melodic qualities and humour with, at times, raw and heartbreaking pathos. Stewart has written many of the group's works solo including "Your Class", "The Sailor's Song" and "Doorways" but also has collaborated with many of the other members. Stewart's most regular songwriting partners have been Francis MacDonald, Norman Blake and, more recently, David Scott.
The group's most celebrated song is the autobiographical "Serious Drugs", recorded in 1991 but not released until 1993. The song featured in the movie This Year's Love and was covered by American stadium power pop group Gigolo Aunts. Oasis did their first UK tour dates supporting the Bandits as a favour from Stewart to Creation label boss Alan McGee. BMX Bandits admirers included Kurt Cobain, who was photographed wearing a BMX Bandits T shirt. Cobain claimed on a New York radio show that if he could be in any other band it would be BMX Bandits.

The budding genius of New York Fashion, here is 22 year old Marc Jacobs in his early years. One of several show videos I made for him over the course of 4 years, and before he became FAMOUS -but certainly on his way by this time.
Made in 1987 in the original tiny little showroom on 7th Ave., and about a year and a half before he signed on with Perry Ellis(and the BIG TIME). See Christie Turlington who was then only about 17years old! The first few shows I had to shoot on 16MM film as we had no money and I was able to use my allotment from NYU film school. On two occasions Marc and I edited the film together, and eventually switch to Beta-SP, SVHS and Hi-8 formats. For me it was very exciting to go to Bergdorf Goodman's, on 5th Avenue, and see the shows playing on a monitor continuously.
