Brigandage was an 80's London based punk band originally consisting of:
- Michelle Brigandage (Vocals)
- Mick Fox (Guitar)
- Scott Addisson (Bass)
- Ben Addisson (Drums)
Brigandage started life in 1982 as 'the next Sex Pistols', and were thrown into the short lived 'Positive Punk' scene that her boyfriend Richard North a freelance writer/member of Blood And Roses, accidentally created in a New Musical Express piece in '83. Positive Punk was the blur between hardcore punk and the new up and coming Goff scene. Meanwhile the band had only mediocre success around London in the early 80's promising a lot but rarely gaining critical aclaim. They soon split up.
