The Subterranean Hawks - Big Store descargar videos gratis

Birmingham's Subterranean Hawks featured two of the UK's most consistently underrated musicians, Dave Kusworth and Stephen Duffy. A history lesson: Stephen Duffy sang and played guitar and Simon Colley played bass and clarinet in the first incarnation of Duran Duran with Nick Rhodes and John Taylor, mostly gigging at Barbarella's. Dave Kusworth and David Twist played in a band called TV Eye with Andy Wickett on vocals. When TV Eye split, a musical chair shuffle saw Duffy and Colley form the Subterranean Hawks with Kusworth and Twist while Andy Wickett took Duffy's place in Duran Duran where he sang on the first demo which included a version of Girls On Film.

This version of Big Store is taken from the What A Nice Way To Turn Seventeen album but it's also on the 16 track demo they recorded. Kusworth fans will be interested to note that track 12 was called Rag Doll. A 7" single featuring the Duffy song Words Of Hope and Sense Of Ending by Duffy and Kusworth was released in 1980 on Five Believers records, with the band's name now shortened to The Hawks.

The images I used for this video were taken from Dave Kusworth's website. Dave still makes great music which you should check out at http://www.davekusworth.com. Stephen Duffy eventually topped the commercial success of the Tin Tin days by writing and playing with Robbie Williams. He's also the subject of a feature film called Memory and Desire http://www.memoryanddesirefilm.com. Duffy and Nick Rhodes recorded a version of Big Store for The Devils album of revisited old songsin 2002
