1985 appearance on UK BBC2 O.R.S (The Oxford Roadshow) presented by KIM WILDE. Singer is definitely inspired by IAN ASTBURY of The CULT....(The Southern Death Cult) ...
@clocksarebigmachines not exactly. Listen to the studio recording, the guitar is out of key there as well, likely not by accident. If you listen to their material you'll notice the guitar work is actually quite amazing!!
@BillyHutchinsonmusic Yes. A very good band but sleeping with the executive producer's girlfriend probably wasn't a great decision. A massive shame because Scary Thieves might have been the next Duran Duran.
@BillyHutchinsonmusic Hehe. Ask your uncle exactly why 'Scary Thieves' weren't more successful. There was kind of a scandal about the whole thing. You're right though. Good band.
superb band, great singer, brilliant drummer, love the Simmons drums -MEGA!... what happened to them, they should be huge??!! shame about the out-of-tune guitar... sack the guitarist... satin trousers.... nice.....
good to see this Phil and Chris...good memories of flatshare days lol
