Endgames was formed in Glasgow, by David Rudden (bass, vocals) and David Murdoch (keyboards). The band began through gigging at clubs and colleges in the city, and eventually appeared as a support act for the band Simple Minds in late December 1979.

Links To Peel[]
Endgames attracted interest from Peel, and recorded two sessions for the programme. They are one of a small number of artists that responded to Peel's invitation to include a cover of You'll Never Walk Alone when recording a session for the programme. Peel does not appear to have played any of the band's later more commercial releases when signed to Virgin Records.
