I'd forgotten all about this.

 

 

 

I went to see them c. 1981-82 as they were playing locally, despite them not being the sort of band I was usually into........and they were great live.

A lot better than most of the New Romantic stuff that emerged around that time.....though maybe they'd have seen themselves more as high-end glam rock (definite similarities to Roxy Music's quieter songs).

Must admit I was a bit of a fan of the wets back in the day and saw them live a couple of times. Marti Pellow is a nob but he's got a great voice:

Never seen them live,which still is a regret for me!

Trust me l seen a few bands, and they one of the best, Mercury describe them "like the goals going in" l feel the same way about Ian Dury and the Blockheads never seen them live.

The bigger shame they went to two groups, and animosity between the members of the band.

Watching that video, I've only just realised how beautiful Brooke Shields was, never rated her at the time.
