Immaculate Fools

A perfect song for a Movie soundtrack! This great 1985 song from UK band "Immaculate Fools" and the song of the same name "Immaculate Fools", for some strange reason it didn't do that well here in the UK charts maybe because the competition at that time was so much higher in those days, who knows? as back then it was a time when groups etc were still writing original songs! and not taking the easy option of covering or copying bits of other peoples songs! maybe we on Youtube and Myspace etc can make this a hit a second time round! so guys you can "live again" as you put it in the song on the internet forever!
The four band members were infact two sets of brothers, drummer and guitarist (Ross) and Singer and Bass player (Wetherall).
The only time I saw this song on TV was in fact this exact video being played on childrens Saturday morning BBC TV's programme Saturday Superstore.
PS: Does anyone out there know where the lead singer is? as latest news from the Immaculate Fools Official website said he was running a hotel in Italy?

Yes indeed Psychedelic Furs, Immaculate Fools even Gary Newman all seemed to find it fashionable back then too all do a kind of David Bowie type singing voice

What happened to tese guys? I bought their first album in 1985, therewas some eletric in it but a lot of acoustic too. "everything's measured in money, nothing means nothing anymore". Prophetic words for what was, at that time, a country like the UK caught up in the fever of Thatcherism and riots across the UK due to high jobless totals whilst the rich got richer.

I saw these guys play in Fuengirola in 1986. They were always more popular in Spain than the UK. I remember going to a launch party for some paint company in 1984 and got talking to one of the hired hostesses. Started talking music and it transpired that she was going out with one of the band. Anyway guys, Spain loved you and i´m still playing your music even today. You are being played every day in my car in and around the Costa del Sol and my kids love your music too ! SPAIN STILL LOVES YA !

Saw Dirty Ray support The Wonder Stuff in Holmfirth the other week and he was outstanding. I've seen him a few times now and he never fails to impress. If you get the chance go and see him or go and buy his album. Available direct from the record label irl.org.uk
