Tanz Der Youth

After leaving The Damned Bryan James formed Tanz Der Youth with ex members of Hawkwind and Warsaw Pakt. He described the band as "Transmagical; the sound of the eighties." Accepted wisdom is they failed. Interesting start to their career when they supported Black Sabbath on a major tour. They lasted 7 dates before conceding defeat against missiles thrown by headbangers. I think they also played Reading Festival to similar reaction. One single on Radar Records I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry / Delay (1978) which is ok. (http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/tanzderyouth.htm)
