the vds / fatal microbes.,ajanta review.

ok so last night i was having a surf on the net and after about an hour i came across this a vds/ pasti poster i hadnt seen before and after a little searching found that we can also have a listen to there stuff as well as read a national press article about the single the vds were due to release rather contraversial at the time.vds were a band that to be honest in the 5 years ive been doing this rubbish i had completely forgot about. here is a biog from them.remember double click on pic to enlarge.

Bio

Formed in 1978, the band was based in Derby. Some of the venues in the Midlands were 'The Olde Bell', 'The Cosmo', 'The Ajanta', The 'Havana' , 'Cleopatra's' in Derby. 'The Sandpiper' in Nottingham and in support of the 'UK Subs' in Sheffield. A brief change of name came in 1979 when 'Sammy Day' and 'John Wallis' asked the band to put music to a poem written by jailed child Killer 'Mary Bell' and to form a new band called 'Prison Life'. The band Recorded at 'Spaceward studios' in Cambridge and played on 'ATV Today' interviewed by 'Bob Warman' and got National exposure. The Daily Star took to 'Back' the band with the 'Daily Mirror' reporting on their progress. The fact that Sam and John were the only members with criminal records, the remaining members of the band invented prison/borstal past's for the media.
