Famous for being, well...I don't really know, but they made Since Yesterday which is a rather good pop song.

I have another of their songs on 12". It isn't very good.

I remember quiet fancying them when I were a young lad but in reality they probably right old rough houses. :oops:

Wasn't that the reason Von put them back on the bill at Philly 97? After he'd had twenty four hours to drool over their pictures? :von:

Having had a look at the website I definitely would back then. Not sure what they look like now.

Rose went on to sing in Into a Circle alongside Bee & toured / recorded with them . She's now in Sorrow who are really just her and her husband ....and are crap . Imagine an angelic voice without much music going "LAAAAAAAAA LAAAAAAAAAAA" but for an hour .
She is now (sexist alert sexist alert !!) as big as a great big lardy arse goth bird could be . Her husband has a vague look of Huey from Fun Lovin Criminals .

I would've but I wouldn't now :D

The interview section, rather surprisingly, deals with stuff like fascism, nazi paraphernalia (S.S.), satanism and Genesis P. Orridge. Always interesting to read interviews will Bill Drummond, as well.

I was (am?) a hugh fan of Strawberry Swichblade - I remember spending hours in Soho (London) record shops in 1991 looking for the last 7" I did not have - which happens to be "Jolene" - Its cost me £7.00 too - second hand!!!!!!

I also have on VHS a performance of "Jolene" on The Tube filmed outside! - Rose is looking very sexy in a very very tight full length Black PVC Catsuit - GGGGRRRRR!!!!!!!! - The Other One looked terrified - but I hear she was an agrophobe at the time!

Shame to hear that Rose is now the "Side Of A House" - perhaps that "Catsuit" will make its way on to 'ebay' ;-)

I was thinking of checking out "Sorrow" - are ANY of their recordings any good?

Knew I Be Pleased.....
