THE MOORS MURDERERS ..... 1978-1978Steve Strange--- Vocals, later to become, not only a complete wanker, but also leader of the New Romantic movement and his group VISAGEChrissy Hynde---Guitars, later to become THE PRETENDERSTopper Headon---Drums, borrowed from THE CLASHTex---BassThis band never managed to play a gig, but did achieve an unsurpassed notoriety by recording a single for Jet Records called "FREE MOIRA HINDLEY" one of Britain's notorious Moors murder child killers, still in prison to this day. The record was banned before it was ever released, and the band appeared in The Sun Newspaper all wearing black plastic garbage bags over their heads. The British nation was appalled, Punk's were the scourge of society at that time. Even with bags over their heads Steve and Tex were somehow recognized on Oxford street and beaten up very badly by members of the public. <<< tho i think topper headon playing with them.. is up for debate.
