So be afraid, be very afraid!
Influences
Musically that would be: Kraftwerk, Yello, Georgio Moroder, '70s Bowie, Vangelis, Gary Numan, Dub, Eno etc, etc. Plus Southern Comfort and Herbie Spliffington in a foreign hotel room, the smell of white pancake make up, neon city streets at night as seen from the back of a long black car, girls with full red lips, Electric City in Tokyo, Sci Fi, static, a Chinook passing overhead and aliens with a sense of humour.

Deep Space.Kraftwerk meets Vangelis, fondles Numan and gets a good kicking from the Prodigy.Europe.Inner Space.
TIK and TOK were an electronica music and mime duo based in the UK. They released a chart album "Intolerance" in Europe and Japan. They supported Gary Numan and Duran Duran and also worked with Depeche Mode, Vangelis and Ultravox. As actors they had featured roles in Star Wars Episode VI "Return Of The Jedi" and the horror movie 'Xtro."
In 2007 they re-configured to make a new album "Dream Orphans". It's out there.
Oozing sensuality and provocative energy, Risqué emerge from the erotic underworld with their debut album, Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down Release date 6th July listening is a seductive and sensual experience. I Want Your Number is a futuristic combination of pure dancefloor energy and the confused mathematics of love: ‘6% pneumatic 60% politic 20% chemistry, 90% destiny’
For any interested parties, I've tracked down the great Rrussell Bell who has happily agreed to do an exclusive interview for us at Tik and Tok the Official Website, so I'm inviting all of you to submit any questions you may have to put to the man himself. z1ggy@blueyonder.co.uk and I will be sending them to Rrussell sometime this month so get them in quick. For the original fans you will remember Rrussell from the studio recordings of Vile Bodies and fromt he video that came with the song were he played the part of the storm trooper. 2009 will see more updates and material added to the Official site and also I'm going to try my hardest to get the chat room active and chatting again as we have gone very quite lately. I hope along with everyone whos been great so far to keep the T&T buzz doing exactly that....Buzzing as we should never let them just fade away, they need to be remembered for the genius they were.
