Transvision Vamp are utter garbage
Who collects that band? They are all but forgotten now. 1980s were full of such bands.

Re: Transvision Vamp are utter garbage
Hearing Wendy talk, you'd think they were the future of rock n roll. Agreed.... absolute garbage. Now, what about Sig Sig Sputnik?

And to think Costello wrote an entire album for her.

Never heard Sigue Sigue Sputnik. They were a flash in the pan, if there ever was one.

Wendy's ace. Sister Moon's a period classic.

No Googs
There is no such thing as 'garbage'* bands
There is music you like and music you don't like.

Re: Transvision Vamp are utter garbage
I thought C had said 'garage bands'. I was preparing a strongly worded refutation.
I've never listened to them before so I put a comp on (on Spotify). It's all right. Quite energetic really. Not exactly original though.

Re: Transvision Vamp are utter garbage
To be honest I love that clip as comedy. I've never listened to the records...
The earnestness cracks me up.
'Of course we've all made new instruments since then ... that work a lot better.'
'Since it's only one string I can only play one note at the same time.'
'It's made out of a staircase banister...'
'I actually play real trombone'.
'To be honest you can use anything you want to make the drums.'

You don't *listen* to Transvision vamp.
You *look* at them
I saw them live in New York soon after this came out.
They were a bit rubbish but the view from where I was standing was quite something.
I was stood by her monitors and the skirt she was wearing was even shorter than the one in this video

Re: Transvision Vamp are utter garbage
Artgar has deliberately misquoted me in his current sig line, changing an all-important pronoun from "He" to "I". I cannot be held responsible for such misquotes.

Got that in the lyric now.
Just listened to her version.
Not so good.

Re: Transvision Vamp are utter garbage
I only ever heard their version of "Tell That Girl to Shut Up." Weren't they basically like a Primitives-lite?
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?
