Fire Engines


 * Short lived but influential scottish band from 1981. David Henderson (Guitar, Vocals) / Russell Burn (Drums) / Graham Main (Bass) / Murray Slade (Guitar) / Miti Adhikari (Keyboards-Produced To Seduce To Only). Henderson said of the early live shows: "We played to our strengths which were minimal, but somehow, as a band, it worked. We never played chords and Russell didn’t use cymbals or hi-hats. It was very violent although no-one got hurt. Pure aggression, attitude and hate was what it was."
 * Reformed in 2004 to support The Magic Band and collaborated with Franz Ferdinand for a single release. Henderson is now leading The Sexual Objects.
