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.

Perfect Daze

Perfect Daze were a power pop/punk band formed in Ipswich, Suffolk, England in 1984 from a love of trashy guitar based rock n roll. The first line up was Lorenzo Lambourghini (Laurence Bell now head of Domino Records) on vocals, Ben E Chunders and Rico Shade on guitars, Jim P on bass, and Dazzle on drums. This line up played mostly small, sweaty pubs, clubs and (believe it or not) a disused quarry to a rock n roll audience of friends and the curious and also layed down a few decent demos. After gathering a fair following there was a line up change with Wolfie Retard (of The Stupids fame) replacing Jim P on Bass, Scruff Petty replacing Ben, and Col replacing Rico, though later on John Roscoe, a local guitarist who would eventually collaborate with bands such as Sink and K-Line, replaced Col

Perfect Daze played live not only in East Anglia but nationally, and as the 1980's progressed, their loose links with the hardcore movement led to their signing by Vinyl Solution records of London, and to the release of a 12", Bubblegum. This featured a sound that was more indie than hardcore, but influenced by singers and bands like the Replacements and the Descendents, a heavy American influence shone through. Dazzle left to concentrate on touring with Extreme Noise Terror, and Timmy stepped up to fill his shoes.
