Bio:
Post-punk led by Michael Stephens (now a journalist in the US) with Roe Butcher
(ex Xdreamysts) on bass and Dougie Gough (ex Rodeo,
Albania) on guitar.
I'm not sure which drummer came first.
They were a powerful, high energy live band by all accounts and were tipped to do the
business but it was not to be. An un-released album painstakingly recorded with Mudd Wallace
lies somewhere gathering dust . . . This was a victim of Good Vibrations intermittent money problems.
Terri Hooley was shutdown by the taxman in 1984 and the LP was never released.
In 2010 the band surfaced on the reverbnation website (see Links below) and announced plans to
finally make it available once the masters have been located. It features tracks such as
"Energy To Burn" and "Breaking Up With Harry". These tracks and more are available on
the reverbnation site.
Micky Stevens moved to North Carolina in 1985 where he teaches and plays music.
Roe Butcher remained active on the music scene and currently plays with Henry McCullough.
Dougie Gough still lives and plays in Coleraine, Co. Derry.
Paddy McNicholl ran the famous Connolly's of Leap venue for many years. He passed away in 2010.
