farmers boys, new order so we got told, roger said we sounded like a load of faggots. roger who drummed like a robot with no joints in his arms. we were Richard and Matthews mums favourite band of all time so we must have sounded like cliff richard too.
FRED ASTAIRE
Formed in 1989 by school friends Matthew Bolton on bass and Edward Taylor with his guitar in Matthews 4 foot by 7 foot bedroom, a recording of Everything was added to numorous compilation tapes and the apple moths quickly grew adding Matthews brother Richard on vocals and Tambourine and cousin Steven Hadcroft (the ginger wizard) on Keys. The band moved offices to Richards attic bedroom where they wrote some tunes and began to gig. Soon after the apple moths were picked up by a turntable friend and released the fred astaire ep on 7" thats all we can remember just now!
