Revillos
Formed in March 1979 by Eugene Reynolds and Fay Fife, previously vocalists with the Rezillos. HiFi Harris (guitar), Rocky Rhythm (drums) and three backing singers—Jane White, Jane Brown and Tricia Bryce—completed the group's original line-up, but within months the latter trio had been replaced by Babs and Cherie Revette. The Revillos made their debut with Where's The Boy For Me (1979), but although this exciting performance recalled the best of the previous group, it failed to emulate their success. Internal friction undermined the unit's undoubted potential—guitarists, bassists and singers were replaced with regularity as Reynolds, Fife and Rhythm pursued their uncompromising vision. An album, REV-UP, captured the Revillos’ enchanting mixture of girl-group, beat and science-fiction, but they were subsequently dropped by their record company. Undeterred the group inaugurated Superville for ensuing releases and embarked on two gruelling tours of the USA and Canada which they financed themselves. However an anticipated deal failed to materialize and this ebullient act later disintegrated.
