John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Flesh For Lulu - Subterraneans

Subterraneans - #39 in the 1984 Festive Fifty

Flesh for Lulu were a rock band formed in Brixton, London, active between 1982 and 1992. Their music was a mix of the New York Dolls and Rolling Stones with gothic rock's gloomy atmosphere and aesthetics.

Nick Marsh (vocals and guitar) and James Mitchell (drums) formed the band and soon recruited Rocco (originally from Wasted Youth, guitar and vocals), and Glen Bishop (bass), taking their name from an American cult movie. They signed to Polydor Records in 1983 … (read more at Wikipedia)

The band for this session consisted of Nick, James, Philip Ames (bass and vocals) and Mark Ambler (keyboards).

Links to Peel[]

One session, early in the band’s career. One Festive Fifty entry, with a single from their debut album. It seems, from comments made in Peel 057 (BFBS), that John never liked the band very much, and on playing Siamese Twist on that show, went from like to dislike in the space of three minutes.
