give me that knife or i'll scream!

On a grim Friday evening in November 1983 the weekend is once more beginning with Channel Four's legendary Tube. Jools Holland pauses on the threshold of a public lavatory and says "...and now Indians in Moscow." Is this some hip new expression along the lines of "Once in a blue moon"? Well, no. A music video explodes onto the screen - a psychotic blonde singing a gruesome ditty about killing and eating her father to the backing of a crazed synth-punk calypso. Indians in Moscow have entered the building...

Over the next nine months this Hull band would repeatedly mug the music business, culminating in a storming gig at the Camden Palace in August 1984, before abruptly splitting up on the brink of fame and fortune. If they had continued, who knows what shape mid-to-late eighties music would have had?

This website is a document of that insane time.
